Embark on a rewarding journey as an Occupational Therapist in Seaford, Delaware, where your clinical expertise will illuminate daily living, independence, and meaningful participation for diverse patient populations. This opportunity places you at the heart of a community that values compassionate care, creative problem-solving, and evidence-based practice. Imagine guiding clients through injuries, neurological challenges, aging-related changes, and complex assistive needs—empowering them to reclaim independence in daily activities, work, school, and leisure. In addition to your clinical impact, you can envision exploring the beauty and culture of Delaware, from scenic coastlines to vibrant towns, while enjoying a welcoming, supportive work environment. Seaford sits in the mid-Atlantic region with easy access to the state’s beaches, parks, and historic sites, offering a unique blend of small-town warmth and regional conveniences.

This assignment provides the chance to work in a location known for its community spirit and collaborative healthcare networks, with the flexibility of opportunities to travel to various locations across the United States. Delaware’s unique mix of rural charm and coastal access creates a dynamic backdrop for rehabilitative care, where you can build lasting patient relationships and innovate care pathways. Whether you’re delivering pediatric sensory therapy, adult functional rehabilitation, or geriatrics-focused interventions, you’ll benefit from a supportive ecosystem that values your insights and fosters professional growth. The role is designed to leverage your OT skills within outpatient, inpatient, or skilled rehab settings, enabling broad exposure while maintaining a manageable caseload and predictable hours. The possibility of occasional site rotations across the U.S. expands your professional horizon, enriching your practice with diverse case mixes and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.

In this position, your responsibilities will center on comprehensive evaluation and customized intervention planning. You’ll assess motor, cognitive, perceptual, and functional limitations, then design goal-oriented treatment plans that align with patient and family priorities. Key activities include customized therapy sessions, adaptive equipment recommendations, therapeutic activities to promote independence in activities of daily living, mobility training, and discharge planning that supports continued progress at home or in community-based settings. You’ll document progress, communicate with physicians and family members, and participate in team rounds to optimize care plans. Collaboration with physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, social workers, and educators will be integral to your practice, ensuring a holistic approach to each patient’s rehabilitation journey. The role offers avenues for professional growth within the specialty, including expanded competencies in hand therapy techniques, cognitive rehabilitation, pediatric occupational therapy, and assistive technology applications. You’ll have the chance to pursue targeted trainings, attend in-service sessions, and access continuing education resources designed to enhance clinical expertise and leadership capabilities.

Compensation and benefits are crafted to recognize your expertise and dedication. You’ll receive a competitive weekly pay range of $2,060 to $2,178, with guaranteed hours of 35.0 per week, providing financial stability and predictability. In addition to earnings, the role offers a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing concerns, and opportunities for contract extensions should you enjoy the environment and wish to continue contributing. The assignment includes comprehensive support from a dedicated travel team, including 24 / 7 assistance while you’re on assignment, ensuring smooth logistics, prompt problem-solving, and reliable backup whenever you need it. This level of support enables you to focus on patient care and professional growth with confidence.

Our organization is committed to empowering OT professionals, championing career advancement, and fostering a supportive work atmosphere.
