Occupational Therapist

At Merck, an Occupational Therapist earns $73,000 - $102,000 and something rarer: an unit that treats clinicians like the lifeline they are. What makes this Merck role different is the ownership; the $73,000 - $102,000 and contract hours are just the entry fee. Key Responsibilities Verify patient identity, allergies, and medication reconciliation Provide culturally sensitive care to a diverse patient population Triage walk-in concerns by acuity, escalating maker-minded cases to the on-call provider without delay Set IV lines on tough sticks others gave up on, sparing the patient a third attempt Coordinate discharge planning and transitions of care Set up and break down sterile trays between cases on a tight OR turnover clock What You'll Bring Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a contract project Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny Demonstrated capacity to mentor or support senior teammates Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight Roughly 5+ years operating in a similar Occupational Therapist position Comfort presenting to a SC-wide audience without a script 7+ years putting Wound Care to work in a healthcare setting Merck doesn't chase headlines; it just keeps building the purpose-soaked healthcare backbone that Columbia, SC runs on. We trust the senior folks closest to the customer to make the call without a committee. Land here and your reward starts at $73,000 - $102,000, then climbs alongside the mentorship, flexible hours, and benefits we keep stacking on top.
