Job Description
Unleash your impact as an Occupational Therapist in California, Willows, starting 12/15/2025. This is more than a travel assignment—it's your pathway to shape meaningful outcomes for patients across a spectrum of settings while advancing your specialty in Occupational Therapy. Picture guiding adults and children through meaningful therapeutic activities, adapting interventions to real-life contexts, and witnessing resilient progress as they reclaim independence. With a guaranteed 36.0 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,684-$1,780, this opportunity provides financial stability as you expand your clinical footprint. The contract is structured in weeks, offering the flexibility to tailor your experience to your professional goals while enjoying the continuity you deserve.
Location Benefits: Willows sits in California’s fertile northern valley, pairing a welcoming community with convenient access to the broader treasures of the state. Here you’ll enjoy a balanced pace—strong community ties, local farms and eateries, and opportunities to refresh outdoors along the Sacramento River or nearby parks. Beyond Willows, this program offers the chance to work in multiple U.S. locations, enabling you to explore different practice settings—from hospital-based OT clinics to outpatient rehabilitation centers and community-based programs. California’s diverse landscapes—from the redwood-studded coastlines to the Sierra foothills and wine country east of the Bay Area—provide endless weekend escapes and renewed inspiration for your work. You’ll gain exposure to varied patient populations, health systems, and multidisciplinary teams, building a robust professional network while appreciating the state’s natural beauty during your time off.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an Occupational Therapist in this program, you’ll assess client needs, develop and implement evidence-based treatment plans, and adjust interventions to promote functional independence in self-care, work tasks, and leisure. You’ll employ therapeutic modalities, adaptive equipment, and activity-based interventions to support motor coordination, cognitive processing, perceptual skills, and daily living skills. You’ll document progress, communicate with physicians and care teams, and advocate for patient-centered goals. The role emphasizes professional growth within the specialty through mentorship, continuing education stipends, and opportunities to expand competencies in pediatrics, adult rehab, mental health integration, or geriatrics, depending on setting. You’ll have access to competitive benefits including a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and contract extensions that align with your long-term goals. Our travel program emphasizes comprehensive support, with 24/7 assistance for travelers, credentialing help, and a dedicated travel concierge to streamline housing, travel logistics, and short-notice schedule changes. You’ll operate with advanced tools and telehealth options where appropriate, ensuring high-quality care even when you’re adjusting to new facilities. The environment is collaborative and fast-paced, yet supportive—designed to empower you to deliver outstanding outcomes while maintaining work-life balance. This assignment also gives you the chance to build leadership capabilities, contribute to program development, and participate in peer-to-peer knowledge sharing as you move through different locations.
Company Values: Our organization is rooted in empowering clinicians to grow and excel. We champion a culture of respect, continual learning, and inclusivity, where your professional aspirations matter. We provide structured pathways for career advancement, access to mentorship from experienced OT leaders, and opportunities to influence care standards across locations. You’ll join a team that values open communication, quality outcomes, and a supportive work environment that prioritizes your well-being, safe practice, and clinical autonomy within appropriate guidelines.
Call to Action: If you’re ready to bring your occupational therapy expertise to a program that respects your contributions and prioritizes your development, apply today. This is a rare chance to expand your practice across diverse clinical settings, experience new communities, and advance your career while enjoying the security of a well-structured schedule and generous compensation. We’re excited to connect with compassionate, innovative OTs who want to make a tangible difference and grow with a company that supports their journey.
