About The Position

Embark on a transformative opportunity as an Occupational Therapist in Maryland, based in Silver Spring, with a start date of 03/02/2026. This travel-friendly role blends clinical excellence with real-world impact, supporting clients across diverse settings as they rebuild independence and function. You will conduct comprehensive assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and guide patients toward meaningful participation in daily activities. With a guaranteed 35 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,801 to $1,906, you’ll enjoy stable, rewarding compensation as you navigate assignments that are expressed in weeks and extendable based on service needs and your performance. The role opens pathways for growth within the OT specialty, from pediatrics to geriatrics and advanced functional rehab, while collaborating with physicians, therapists, educators, and care teams to promote holistic outcomes. Maryland’s communities offer more than professional fulfillment: from the Potomac River trails to Silver Spring’s vibrant streets, you’ll find cultural richness, dining, parks, and easy access to nature. The region’s beauty provides balance to demanding clinical days and invites exploration after work. Location benefits: While anchored in Silver Spring, the opportunity spans multiple U.S. locations, broadening your clinical experience and network. You’ll gain exposure to hospital, clinic, school, and community settings, sharpening adaptive strategies that fit varied environments. The company’s travel program provides dedicated support for logistics, onboarding, licensure, and compliance so you can focus on patient care. Enjoy the chance to explore urban neighborhoods and suburban landscapes alike, building a versatile portfolio while staying connected to the mission of helping people live independently. The experience also offers rich cultural exploration—from museums and music to outdoor recreation—allowing you to grow professionally while enjoying the diverse tapestry of American communities. Role specifics and benefits: In this OT role, you’ll lead objective assessments, set patient-centered goals, and design interventions to improve functional independence, mobility, dexterity, and safety at home, work, and school. You’ll select evidence-based activities, recommend adaptive equipment and environmental modifications, and coach families and caregivers. You’ll document progress in electronic health records, participate in interdisciplinary rounds, and contribute to discharge planning. The package includes a signing bonus, housing assistance or stipend, and opportunities to extend assignments based on performance and service needs. Ongoing professional development is supported through mentorship, access to continuing education, and potential specializations in pediatrics, hand therapy, sensory integration, or geriatrics. A dedicated 24/7 support team assists you in every location, with rapid access to clinical supervision and travel resources to ensure your practice remains compliant and compassionate in all settings. You’ll work within a culture that prioritizes evidence-based practice, patient advocacy, and collaborative problem-solving, ensuring every patient’s journey is respectful, empowering, and effective. Company values: We are committed to empowering clinicians, enabling career advancement, and fostering a supportive, inclusive culture. Our environment emphasizes mentorship, feedback, and clear pathways to leadership roles while maintaining the highest standards of patient care. You’ll join a collaborative network that values curiosity, resilience, and compassion, backed by resources that help you grow—personally and professionally—and that celebrate your contributions to patients, families, and communities. The organization champions work-life balance, continuous learning, and an environment where every team member feels seen, heard, and valued for their unique skills and experiences.
