In this role, you'll work with approximately 32 direct students, delivering around 800 minutes of therapy services each week.

• Current Occupational Therapist (OT) license in Missouri
• Experience in a school-based setting is highly valued
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams
• Exceptional organizational and time management abilities for managing a flexible and multi-site caseload
• Commitment to delivering high-quality, student-centered therapy services

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve students at various school sites, providing individualized occupational therapy interventions
• Complete assessments, develop treatment plans, and track progress for each student
• Work cooperatively with teachers, families, and support staff to facilitate student growth
• Maintain accurate records and documentation per state and district requirements
• Adapt your schedule and services to meet the changing needs of students and schools

You’ll enjoy the autonomy to make a direct impact in students’ lives within a supportive school community. If you’re a licensed OT ready to help students thrive and value a role where flexibility meets purpose, we encourage you to apply and make a difference this fall!
