You will perform comprehensive evaluations, identify functional deficits, and develop individualized treatment plans to improve patients’ safety, independence, and quality of life in activities of daily living, mobility, cognition, and self‑care. Working closely with an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists, and case managers, you will contribute to discharge planning and make recommendations for equipment, continued therapy needs, and appropriate levels of post‑acute care.
As part of UCHealth, a Colorado‑based, nonprofit health care system, you will practice in an environment that emphasizes innovative, high‑quality care, diversity, and inclusion. You will document all assessments, goals, interventions, and progress in the electronic medical record in accordance with hospital, state, and federal standards and participate in quality and process‑improvement initiatives that support continuous improvement. You will provide patient and family education on safe functional techniques, energy conservation, compensatory strategies, and home exercise programs, adapting interventions to align with each patient’s goals, culture, and abilities.
This position offers opportunities for professional growth through ongoing training, mentorship, and collaboration across multiple specialties such as neurology, orthopedics, cardiopulmonary, oncology, and critical care. The ideal candidate is a flexible, team‑oriented Occupational Therapist who is comfortable in an acute care environment, can manage a dynamic caseload, and demonstrates strong clinical reasoning, communication, and time‑management skills. UCHealth provides competitive pay and benefits along with a supportive setting that encourages professional development and excellence in patient care.
