You will evaluate each patient’s functional abilities, develop individualized treatment plans, and implement interventions designed to improve independence, safety, and overall quality of life in areas such as self-care, mobility, cognition, and daily living skills. Working closely with an interdisciplinary healthcare team, you will collaborate with physicians, nurses, physical and speech therapists, social workers, and family members to coordinate care, set measurable goals, and monitor progress. In this role, you will perform thorough occupational therapy evaluations, document findings clearly and accurately in the electronic medical record, and regularly update care plans based on patient response and clinical best practices. You will educate patients and caregivers on therapeutic activities, use of adaptive equipment, home safety strategies, and energy conservation techniques to support successful transitions across care settings and back into the community. You will also participate in discharge planning, making recommendations for continued services, equipment needs, and environmental modifications. Aligned with PruittHealth’s mission and inclusive culture, you will treat all patients with dignity and respect, demonstrating cultural sensitivity and strong professional ethics. You will contribute to a supportive and collaborative work environment by sharing expertise, mentoring team members when appropriate, and participating in team meetings, in-services, and quality improvement initiatives. PruittHealth offers comprehensive training and career development opportunities, and you will be encouraged to pursue ongoing professional education, maintain licensure and certifications, and stay current with regulatory standards and evidence-based therapy practices. This position is ideal for an Occupational Therapist who is patient-centered, organized, and comfortable working in a fast-paced clinical environment. You should be able to manage a varied caseload, prioritize tasks, and communicate effectively with patients, families, and colleagues. Physical requirements include the ability to safely assist with patient transfers, demonstrate therapeutic activities, and move equipment as needed. By joining PruittHealth, you will be part of a compassionate healthcare team dedicated to improving patient outcomes and helping individuals achieve their highest possible level of functional independence.
