BrightSpring Health Services•Jackson, MI

About The Position

Rehab Without Walls is seeking an experienced Occupational Therapist for its home and community neurorehabilitation program. The role provides functional rehabilitation in clients’ natural environments—including their homes, schools, workplaces, and community settings—rather than limiting treatment to staged clinical environments. Examples include practicing cooking at home, navigating grocery stores and restaurants, and participating in outdoor activities or workplace tasks. The position offers an autonomous work setting alongside a collaborative team of therapists. Rehab Without Walls, an affiliate of BrightSpring Health Services, provides neurorehabilitation in home and community environments for people recovering from brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or stroke/CVA. The program aims to help clients regain functional capabilities, health, and independence through a continuum of care.
