Occupational Therapist - Acute

Occupational Therapist Opportunity

This Occupational Therapist opportunity is based in Plentywood, Montana, a welcoming community in the far northeastern corner of the state. Surrounded by sweeping prairie, big skies, and open horizons, Plentywood offers a peaceful small-town lifestyle where traffic is light, neighbors know each other by name, and you can truly enjoy the quiet and safety of rural living. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to hunting, fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing, and scenic drives across Montana's high plains and into nearby North Dakota and Canada. The area's wide open spaces, star-filled skies, and relaxed pace make it ideal for professionals looking to balance a meaningful career with a quieter, more grounded lifestyle. You will practice in a rural healthcare environment that serves as a vital resource for the surrounding region. The facility provides a range of services typical of a critical access setting, supporting inpatient, outpatient, swing bed, and rehabilitation patients across the lifespan. As an Occupational Therapist here, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on patients who may otherwise have limited access to specialty services. The team culture emphasizes collaboration, respect, and shared commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care. In this role, you can expect a diverse caseload. A typical day may include evaluating and treating adult and geriatric patients recovering from orthopedic procedures, illness, or injury; working with patients to improve ADLs, functional mobility, and home safety; and collaborating with providers and nursing staff on discharge planning and care coordination. Depending on facility needs, you may also see occasional pediatric or outpatient patients requiring developmental, school-related, or upper extremity interventions. The setting may include a mix of inpatient beds, swing beds, and outpatient appointments, offering you broad clinical exposure and the chance to maintain and grow a wide range of skills.
