At Carolina Therapy Connection, work feels different… in the best way.

We’re a therapist-owned, faith-based pediatric practice that’s been serving Eastern North Carolina for over 16 years. Our New Bern clinic is growing, and we’re looking for an Occupational Therapist to join our team, full-time or part-time.

• Compensation that works for you: Choose a salary or billable structure, with bonus opportunities tied to your impact.
• Strong support behind the scenes: Our admin team handles scheduling, authorizations, and billing so you can stay focused on your patients, not paperwork.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide play-based, evidence-driven OT services for children.
• Complete evaluations and track meaningful progress.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team. 
• Build strong, trusting relationships with families. 
• Make therapy engaging, functional, and goal-focused.
