Occupational Therapist School Setting - Waterbury, CT

$32.64 - $62.64 per hour

ProCare Therapy

Job Description

Job Description

Step into a dynamic school-based role serving students across Pre-K to 12th grade in a vibrant and supportive educational environment. This contract opportunity offers the chance to make a meaningful difference during an FMLA leave, covering an anticipated 12-week assignment—beginning as soon as possible—with a strong likelihood of extension beyond the initial period (extension not guaranteed). Whether you are an experienced Occupational Therapist or a talented COTA, your expertise will play an integral part in helping students achieve their full potential.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Deliver high-quality occupational therapy services to a diverse caseload of students throughout the district
  • Collaborate actively with multidisciplinary educational teams to develop, implement, and monitor individualized treatment plans
  • Document progress in compliance with school policies and regulatory standards
  • Support students with a range of disabilities in building functional and academic skills
  • For COTA candidates, follow the guidance and supervision of a licensed Occupational Therapist
  • Travel between multiple school sites as needed

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Active Connecticut OT license or COTA certification (CT DPH License and NBCOT exam passed)
  • Prior school-based OT/COTA experience preferred, but not required
  • Reliable transportation to facilitate district-wide travel
  • Experience working with students from Pre-K through high school
  • Comfortable with a temporary maternity leave assignment, with a possible extension

This opportunity allows you to immerse yourself in a collaborative and rewarding setting, interacting with students and educators in a district-wide capacity. If you are committed and ready for a 12-week, full-time school-based OT or COTA role—where every day brings new opportunities to empower students—we invite you to submit your application today. Take the next step in your professional journey by applying for this impactful assignment!

Compensation for this position ranges from $32.64 to $62.64. Eligible candidates may also receive healthcare benefits, housing, and meals/incidentals. Full details of our healthcare benefits plan can be found here. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
