Job Description

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST - Hand Therapy

The clinic is a private outpatient clinic specializing in hand therapy and upper-extremity care, including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. The clinic offers a close-knit, collaborative environment where therapists are supported, patients receive one-on-one care, and culture is a major priority. Team members help one another, share patients when needed, and maintain a strong attitude of growth and learning.

This is a full-time Occupational Therapist role focused on treating upper-extremity and hand therapy patients in a private clinic setting. The right person may be an experienced hand therapist, a CHT, or a licensed OT who is earlier in their hand therapy career and eager to grow with strong mentorship and support.

What You’ll Do

• Evaluate and treat patients with shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand conditions
• Provide one-on-one patient care in 45-minute appointments
• Build individualized treatment plans based on each patient’s needs and goals
• Collaborate with other therapists and team members on shared patient care
• Document patient progress with paid charting time built into the schedule
• Communicate clearly with patients, providers, and internal team members
• Participate in mentorship, training, and ongoing professional development
• Contribute to a positive, team-oriented clinic culture
• Maintain a high standard of care without double-booking patients

What You Bring

• Active Occupational Therapy license, or ability to obtain the required state license
• Interest in hand therapy and upper-extremity care
• Strong communication and patient-care skills
• Humble, teachable mindset with a desire to keep learning
• Team-first approach and willingness to collaborate
• Professionalism, reliability, and strong follow-through

Nice to Have

• Certified Hand Therapist credential
• Prior hand therapy or upper-extremity experience
• Level II fieldwork placement in hand therapy
• Private outpatient clinic experience

• You care about both clinical quality and how patients feel when they walk into the clinic
• You bring confidence without ego and want to be part of a healthy team culture
