Pediatric Occupational Therapist
About The Position
Bluegrass Pediatric Therapies is hiring a pediatric Occupational Therapist to work with children and families at its private outpatient clinic in Richmond, Kentucky. The role is suited to an evidence-based, family-centered clinician who wants to grow and collaborate with a supportive team. New graduates are encouraged to apply; experienced clinicians may receive compensation reflecting their experience, specialized skills, and certifications. The therapist will evaluate and treat pediatric patients, work with families and interdisciplinary team members, develop home programs, and complete timely, accurate documentation.

Support includes a discipline-specific mentor, weekly discipline meetings, monthly in-services, individual treatment rooms, paid daily documentation time, and monthly mental-health check-ins. The position is full-time, with flexible four- or five-day schedules and a stated schedule of 38–40 hours per week. The clinic is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Compensation is discipline-specific and based on relevant experience, certifications, specialized skills, schedule and employment status, and leadership or additional responsibilities.
