Strong Roots Pediatric Therapy and Wellness is growing and looking for a motivated Pediatric Occupational Therapist to join our expanding team. This is an exciting opportunity to be among the first clinicians in a developing practice and have a real voice in shaping systems, schedules, and clinical flow. Our goal is to reduce administrative burden so therapists can spend their energy where it matters most—supporting children and families.

Therapy services are delivered in natural and clinical environments, including:

• Homes
• Daycares and preschools

You'll provide individual and small group therapy, using play-based, functional, and developmentally appropriate approaches that support each child's IEP goals and real-life participation.

Schedule & Calendar:

• Schedule aligns with the school district calendar
• Includes participation in a 6-week Extended School Year (ESY) program during summer
• Flexible caseload size based on your availability and goals

Documentation Expectations:

Therapists are responsible for completing:

Efficient systems and templates are in place to simplify documentation.

Compensation Model:

This is a fee-for-service position:

• Paid per session completed
• No clocking in or out
