Pediatric-Focused Occupational Therapist

$83k - $104k

Cortica - Neurodevelopmental

Job Description

Job Description

Cortica is looking for a full time Occupational Therapist to join its growing multi-disciplinary team at our Carlsbad center in CA.

  • If you're looking for a role where you can collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, build meaningful relationships with families, and practice evidence-based, play-centered therapy, we'd love to meet you!

  • Our Occupational Therapists work alongside Speech Language Pathologists, Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Physicians, Counselors, and other specialists to create truly integrated treatment plans that help children thrive.

  • As an Occupational Therapist, you'll assess, diagnose, and treat sensory integration, sensorimotor, motor, feeding, and developmental disorders in children, while utilizing Cortica's Whole Child Approach.

 

We are a rapidly growing healthcare company pioneering the most effective treatment methods for children with neurodevelopmental differences. Our mission is to design and deliver life-changing care – one child, one family, one community at a time. Ultimately, we envision a world that cultivates the full potential of every child. At Cortica, every team member is instrumental in helping us achieve our mission! 

 

What will you do?  

  • Establish occupational therapy treatment goals through dynamic and standardized assessment tools, in alignment with Cortica's Whole Child Approach. 
  • Consult closely with transdisciplinary team members to create collaborative treatment plans and integrative strategies. 
  • Provide individual, group, and co-treat therapy sessions for therapy services within scope, as clinically appropriate. 
  • Contributes to the autism diagnostic process by providing clinical insight and administering standardized assessments (e.g. ADOS), as appropriate. 
  • Provide therapeutic services in-person in the clinic setting and via telehealth, as clinically appropriate. 
  • Accurately complete documentation in accordance with Cortica's designated time frames. 
  • Provide neurodiversity affirming interventions that are both play-based and goal-based. 

  • Facilitate functional and child-led experiences to target and achieve individualized goals.

 

We'd love to hear from you if:  

  • You hold a current and unrestrictive license for Occupational Therapy in the state of practice. 

  • You hold a master's degree in related field. 
  • You can complete safety training within the first 90 days of employment. 

 

Your Compensation & Benefits   

  • $2,000 continuing education stipend.
  • Receive competitive compensation, $83,000 to $104,000 , depending on experience.
  • Have an earning capacity that is not capped by salary, and will be eligible to earn an additional $45 for any extra billable hour above productivity expectations.
  • Opportunities to grow within our clinical ladder.
  • 401k matching.
  • PTO and continuing education/wellness days.
  • Paid holidays.
  • Health, vision, dental, and pet insurance.
  • Referral bonuses.
