  • Create engaging weekly activity schedules that inspire participation;
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team across Medicine, Nursing, Social Work, Psychology, and Therapy to ensure recreation services are well-coordinated and integrated into patient care;
  • Participate in treatment team meetings and therapeutic groups, contributing to care planning;
  • Build strong partnerships with community organizations to expand patient opportunities.

Benefit & Rewards Highlights:

  • Challenging and rewarding work environment;
  • Competitive compensation & generous Paid Time Off;
  • Excellent Medical, Dental, Vision and Prescription Drug Plans;
  • 401(K) with company match and discounted stock plan;
  • SoFi Student Loan Refinancing Program;
  • Tuition saving to continue your nursing education with Chamberlain University;
  • Career development opportunities within UHS and its 300+ Subsidiaries!
