We are hiring an Occupational Therapist for a vibrant special education preschool serving children ages three to five with developmental delays and other specialized learning needs.

The school is part of a leading regional nonprofit organization operating more than 70 programs throughout New York City, Northern New Jersey, and Westchester. Each year, the organization supports more than 35,000 adults and children through programs focused on early childhood development, homelessness, domestic violence, foster care, veterans, seniors, and other community needs.

The daily schedule is capped at nine sessions, clinicians receive substantial protected documentation time, and the department has a large therapy gym, multiple treatment spaces, strong supplies, modern equipment, and room to introduce new ideas.

This is not one of those schools where getting a new therapy tool requires three committees, four approvals, and a carrier pigeon. When the team identifies something that could help the children, leadership is open to making it happen.
