About This Role
You'll work alongside licensed Occupational Therapists at a specialty hospital setting, helping patients rebuild functional abilities and independence in their daily activities. Your days involve implementing treatment plans, guiding patients through therapeutic exercises, documenting progress notes, and coordinating with nurses, physicians, and other clinical staff. This is hands-on clinical work where you'll spend time directly supporting patients during recovery and rehabilitation. You'll need your COTA certification and a collaborative mindset—this role suits candidates who are detail-oriented with documentation, comfortable in a fast-paced healthcare environment, and genuinely motivated to help patients regain confidence and skills. The position is based in Michigan at a specialty hospital, though specific scheduling details aren't listed here.

Frequently asked questions
What license do I need to apply?
An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.
Is this a school-year or year-round position?
School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.
What experience is expected?
Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
