About This Role
In this hands-on role at PruittHealth's Clemson Gardens location, you'll work directly with patients to carry out treatment plans designed by occupational therapists. Your day involves helping residents with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, and eating, while introducing adaptive equipment that makes these activities safer and easier. You'll document how patients progress, coordinate with nursing and rehabilitation teams, and teach patients and families how to use new techniques at home. This position suits someone who genuinely enjoys helping others regain independence, works well in a team setting, and can follow detailed care instructions. You should be comfortable with physical tasks and able to communicate clearly with patients, families, and staff. Prior experience in healthcare or a related field is valuable but not always required.

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.
