Occupational Therapist - San Jose, California

Occupational Therapist

San Jose, California

Full-Time

The Occupational Therapist coordinates and provides restorative and rehabilitative occupational therapy services, working closely with the PACE Physician, rehabilitation staff, and other IDT members to maximize participant independence and safety, as well as enhance performance of ADLs.

On the day-to-day, you will:

• Conduct Occupational Therapy assessments in our facility and occasionally in the home to define participant care needs, preferences, and goals
• Actively participate in IDT meetings to develop participant care plans
  Deliver and document interventions as agreed upon in participant care plans
• Provide active and passive exercise, muscle re-education, gait, and functional training of ADLs
• Work with Therapy Assistants, providing training, instruction, and guidance needed to implement Functional Maintenance Programs (FMP)
  

Must-Haves:

• Bachelor's degree in occupational therapy; master's preferred
• Valid California Occupational Therapy License, or proof of license eligibility
• Must obtain CPR and First Aid certification within 180 days of hire and maintain certification thereafter; CPR and First Aid certification upon hire preferred

This role is different because Occupational Therapists at our facility:

• Lower patient volumes – no more seeing 3-4 patients an hour
  Form long-term relationships with participants rather than short-term rehab stints
• Collaborate with other therapists, providers, and disciplines
  Have work/life balance - no after-hours documentation

We care about our team members. That's why we offer:

• Medical insurance coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
• Work/life balance - We mean it! 17 days of personal time off (PTO), 12 holidays observed annually, and 6 sick days
• 401K savings + match
• Comprehensive compensation package including base pay and bonus
• Unlimited CEUs through MedBridge
• And additional benefits!
