Why Join Ampersand Therapy?

At Ampersand Therapy, we’re not a giant staffing firm—we’re a  small, mission-driven team  built by school-based therapists, for school-based therapists. Founded in Washington and now also local to Illinois, our company was created as an alternative to the traditional agency model. We believe in  support, flexibility, and treating our team with the respect they deserve.

We’ve walked the walk—many of us are still in schools ourselves—and we know how meaningful this work is. Whether you’re new to school OT or a seasoned provider, you’ll find mentorship, camaraderie, and the freedom to do your best work here.

Our Core Values

Equity & Inclusion

We’re committed to anti-racism, cultural responsiveness, and equity-centered services. We partner with organizations like  The Conscious Kid  to deepen our impact.

Community Engagement

We give back to causes we care about—like  Special Olympics ,  Project Canine , and  The Moth —and support our team in doing the same.

Environmental Responsibility

We’ve adopted sustainable, low-waste systems and are proud to maintain a carbon-negative footprint.

An Inclusive Workplace

Ampersand Therapy is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome candidates of every race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, religion, and background. We’re committed to building an inclusive, welcoming environment where you can thrive.
