Licensed Occupational Therapist - OTR

MLee Healthcare Staffing and Recruiting, Inc

Transform Lives as a Licensed Occupational Therapist in the Scenic Shores of San Diego

Are you a passionate Occupational Therapist dedicated to empowering patients to reclaim their independence and enhance their everyday lives? If you're eager to make a significant difference while carving out your professional path in a location renown for its sun, surf, and vibrant culture — this is your calling.

We are on the lookout for a full-time, licensed OTR/L to become a part of an innovative and supportive therapy team that puts a premium on collaboration, creativity, and impactful results. No matter if you are a seasoned practitioner or just embarking on your career, this position provides the invaluable opportunity to engage in meaningful work within a community that embraces diversity and dynamism.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop Customized Treatment Plans: Assess patients' needs and create tailored therapy strategies to help them reach their functional objectives
  • Implement Therapeutic Techniques: Apply evidence-based methodologies to improve patients' physical abilities, cognitive functions, and daily living skills
  • Collaborate with Multidisciplinary Teams: Work closely alongside fellow OTs, PTs, STs, doctors, and nurses to promote comprehensive and holistic care
  • Educate Patients and Their Families: Provide guidance and knowledge to patients and their caregivers on therapeutic practices to encourage progress at home
  • Track and Document Progress: Monitor clinical outcomes and modify treatment plans as needed to ensure that patients are on the right path
Qualifications
  • Degree in Occupational Therapy from a recognized institution
  • Ongoing education or postgraduate certifications welcomed and supported
Certifications
  • Active Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) license
  • NBCOT (National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy) certification required
Essential Skills
  • A genuine passion for helping individuals and a drive to aid them in achieving their utmost level of independence
  • Effective, empathetic communication with patients and team members
  • Creativity in thinking and adjusting plans to accommodate diverse needs
  • Confidence to work autonomously and as part of a collaborative team
What We Offer
  • A nurturing and team-centric environment that fosters professional growth
  • Full-time work schedule with flexible shift options
  • Clinical mentorship programs and career advancement resources
  • Access to premium tools, facilities, and systems for documentation
  • Engagement in quality improvement and innovation initiatives

In this pivotal role, you'll be more than just a healthcare provider — you'll help reshape routines, rebuild confidence, and reignite joy in everyday activities. Whether you're guiding stroke survivors through painstaking motor rehabilitation or assisting orthopedic patients in regaining their mobility post-surgery, every day presents a chance to provide person-centered care that inspires resilience and independence.

This environment is not suited for checklists and shortcuts. It's where every patient has a narrative, and each therapy session unfolds as another page in their journey toward recovery. You'll collaborate with a diverse group of healthcare professionals to engineer rehabilitation plans that are as individual as the patients you serve.

Why You'll Cherish the Team — and the Beautiful Community Around You

Our rehab team is unique. We lift each other up, share insights, and celebrate triumphs (big or small) as a unit. You'll discover a workplace where your input is valued, your career development is prioritized, and your impact is visible in transformative ways every day.

And let's talk about the surroundings: San Diego. Here, sandy beaches meet rocky cliffs, and the sun shines nearly year-round. With its charm, the city pulses with art, music, and culinary delights—from street tacos to gourmet dining, San Diego offers something for everyone's taste. Explore eclectic neighborhoods brimming with galleries, boutique shops, and picturesque parks perfect for leisurely strolls or spontaneous surf sessions. The rhythm of life here encourages familiar connections and tranquil escapes amidst stunning vistas.

Your Ideal Fit

We seek a compassionate professional who perceives occupational therapy as more than a job, but as a vocation. You should feel exhilarated when a patient regains the use of their hand, reduces their reliance on assistance, or conveys a thought they had previously struggled to articulate.

No matter if you are an experienced OTR/L or a newly minted graduate, you will flourish in this setting if you approach your work with heart, dedication, and humility. If the prospect of delivering high-quality care while embracing a fulfilling lifestyle speaks to you — you've found your destination.

Join Us in Making a Lasting Impact

This is your chance to become part of something larger than a mere job title. Here, your contributions will mold futures, fuel rehabilitations, and rekindle what was thought to be lost—all in a community known for its blend of vibrant activity and serene tranquility.

If you are ready to grow, contribute, and immerse yourself in a caring community — we are eager to welcome you into our family.
