Job Description
Embark on a transformative journey as an Occupational Therapist in Maine, Skowhegan, where every session is an opportunity to restore independence and empower daily living. In this dedicated specialty, your clinical insight will guide clients through meaningful, individualized interventions that support performance in home, school, and community settings. As you bring adaptive strategies, assistive devices, and therapeutic activities to life, you’ll witness tangible progress that translates into real daily impact. The assignment begins December 15, 2025, with guaranteed hours totaling 36 hours per week, providing stability as you plan ahead. This role is built for therapists who thrive on collaborative care, thoughtful assessment, and creative problem solving. You’ll work in a community that values wellness, education, and hands-on care, while also enjoying the security of a well-structured schedule and competitive compensation ranging from $2,090 to $2,199 per week, depending on experience and shift. Beyond the numbers, you’ll access a robust support network designed for travelers who want to make a difference without sacrificing continuity of care. The position blends steady, local practice with the potential for extended opportunities as you broaden your professional horizons in a familiar, scenic setting. You’ll be part of a national team that views every patient as a person first, and every plan of care as a pathway to independence.
Skowhegan sits along the Kennebec River in central Maine, surrounded by forests, open skies, and four distinct seasons that invite outdoor adventures. From autumn foliage and winter recreation to springtime rivers and summer fairs, the region offers a peaceful, friendly backdrop for healing work. The state’s renowned natural beauty is only part of the draw: the assignment also supports the chance to rotate through locations across the United States, expanding your clinical repertoire while keeping you anchored in a single, supportive team when you’re here. You’ll have the opportunity to experience diverse communities, schools, clinics, and patient populations, gaining fresh perspectives that elevate your practice and your resume. This blend of local familiarity and nationwide exposure lets you grow while enjoying Maine’s unique charm and the camaraderie of a close-knit healthcare community.
Your core responsibilities will include comprehensive OT assessments, goal-directed treatment planning, and the implementation of occupation-based interventions that restore independence in daily living activities. You will design and fabricate adaptive equipment, train patients and families, and collaborate with physicians, therapists, and educators to tailor care across inpatient, outpatient, and home health contexts. Documentation will be precise, timely, and aligned with best practice guidelines, ensuring seamless communication within interdisciplinary teams. You’ll monitor progress, adjust plans as needed, advocate for patient safety, and contribute to discharge planning. The role offers ample opportunities for professional growth, including mentorship from seasoned clinicians, continuing education support, and potential pathways into leadership or specialty projects within the organization. Competitive benefits include a signing bonus, housing assistance to ease transition, and the potential for extended assignments should you wish to remain with the program beyond the initial period. The company also provides comprehensive, 24/7 support for all traveling clinicians, including travel coordination, on-call assistance, and a dedicated clinical liaison to troubleshoot issues as they arise. You’ll find stability in guaranteed hours and the chance to expand your competencies through exposure to a broad spectrum of cases and settings, with structured extensions that allow you to deepen your impact over time.
We are committed to empowering our staff through clear career pathways, transparent communication, and a culture that prioritizes well-being, collaboration, and excellence in patient care. The organization champions ongoing skill development, recognizes achievement, and fosters a welcoming environment where every clinician can contribute to shaping better outcomes for the people we serve. You’ll join teams that celebrate curiosity, resilience, and the belief that high-quality OT care can transform lives in small communities and larger systems alike.
