About The Position

Embark on a transformative journey as an Occupational Therapist in Seattle, Washington, where compassionate care meets boundless opportunity. This dedicated role invites you to apply your expertise to improve daily living, independence, and participation for a diverse range of clients. Starting 04/20/2026 for a multi-week assignment, you’ll enjoy 35 guaranteed hours each week and a competitive weekly compensation between 2,231 and 2,375. Beyond the immediate impact you’ll have in therapy rooms and clinics, you’ll be surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Pacific Northwest—where emerald forests meet glimmering waters, and the city’s dynamic energy blends seamlessly with breathtaking outdoor escapes. Picture mornings beside Puget Sound, afternoons optimizing adaptive equipment in collaborative rehab teams, and evenings exploring Seattle’s culture, cuisine, and coastline. Washington’s remarkable landscapes offer more than a backdrop; they fuel renewed purpose and balance as you deliver life-changing therapy.

Seattle stands as a thriving hub for healthcare innovation, education, and community support. You will operate within a city known for top tier medical facilities, multidisciplinary teams, and a patient population that spans acute care, outpatient rehabilitation, and community-based services. The Region’s dynamic environment fosters rich professional growth—from neurologic rehabilitation to complex geriatrics and pediatrics—while expanding your clinical perspective through exposure to diverse diagnoses and culturally informed care. In your downtime, you’ll access a playground of experiences: the waterfront parks along Elliott Bay, the scenic chases of the nearby Cascades and Olympic ranges, ferries ferrying you to Isla locales, and a thriving arts and culinary scene that makes every week feel new. The opportunity to travel within the United States as part of a broader network also exists, enabling you to bring best practices from Seattle to other communities, and to bring insights from other regions back to your home base. This role celebrates the nuance of regional care while offering the security of a steady, structured schedule that respects your professional rhythm.

As an Occupational Therapist in this role, you will assess clients’ functional abilities, design and implement comprehensive therapy plans, and measure progress toward activities of daily living, mobility, cognitive engagement, and community reintegration. You’ll collaborate with physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, physicians, social workers, and families to coordinate care, document outcomes, and advocate for client-centered goals. You’ll tailor interventions to individual needs—whether supporting someone returning to work after injury, enabling a child to participate more fully in school activities, or assisting adults in maintaining independence at home. The position offers significant potential for professional growth within the specialty, including expanding competencies across neuromuscular rehabilitation, ergonomic assessment, assistive technology, and adaptive equipment prescription, all while refining your clinical reasoning in dynamic settings.

Our company is built on a culture that empowers staff to grow—professionally and personally. We believe in a supportive, inclusive environment where your expertise is respected, your ideas matter, and your career path is shaped by your goals. Expect mentorship from seasoned clinicians, structured opportunities for advancement, and a commitment to work-life balance that respects your well-being. We prioritize safety, ethical care, and collaboration across disciplines, reinforcing a culture where travel clinicians feel connected, valued, and equipped to deliver transformative outcomes for every client they serve. Your contributions are recognized as essential to advancing the standard of care and expanding access to high-quality occupational therapy nationwide.

If you’re ready to apply your OT expertise in a dynamic, welcoming setting and to grow within a company that supports your ambition, this is the opportunity for you. Seattle awaits your impact, and so do new experiences across the U.S.—all backed by a team that provides unwavering support, competitive benefits, and pathways to extend your assignment.
