Your Impactful Role

In this position, your work transcends mere symptom management; you will play a pivotal role in restoring routines, building confidence, and reigniting the joy in daily living. Whether guiding stroke survivors through intricate fine motor rehabilitation or assisting orthopedic patients in regaining mobility post-surgery, your expertise will shine through as you provide compassionate care that encourages resilience and autonomy.

This is not a job where you tick boxes or follow a rigid checklist. It is a space where each patient has a unique narrative and where every therapy session represents a pivotal moment in their recovery journey. Youll collaborate closely with a diverse group of healthcare professionals to develop rehabilitation strategies that reflect each patient's distinct story.

Join a Thriving Community and Dynamic Team

We've cultivated something extraordinary here. Our rehabilitation team is not just clocking hours; we uplift one another, share valuable insights, and celebrate achievements (both seizable and subtle). Youll find an atmosphere where your contributions are valued, your professional development is prioritized, and your impact is palpable with each passing day.

And let's not forget the breathtaking location: Reno , nestled at the foot of the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountain range, where outdoor enthusiasts thrive and culture flourishes. Bid farewell to bustling cities and embrace a place where majestic landscapes and outdoor activities beckon. Picture weekends filled with breathtaking hikes, serene lakes, and a vibrant arts scene that will captivate your senses.

This town is rich with creativity and flavor culinary delights, enchanting music scenes, and charming local shops abound. Reno pulses with energy, yet still allows for the cherished moments of connection and exploration, making it a perfect place to call home.

Your Ideal Candidate Profile

We desire an individual who views occupational therapy as more than just a career but as a heartfelt vocation. Someone who beams with joy when witnessing a patient regain their strength, take independent steps, or communicate a previously unheard story.

No matter if youre an accomplished OTR/L or a fresh graduate ready to take your first step into the field, you will flourish here if you bring passion, diligence, and kindness to your daily endeavors. If a fusion of top-quality care and lifestyle appeals to you this is your ideal environment.

Join Us in Creating Lasting Impact

This is your open invitation to become part of something far beyond a mere job title. Here, your contributions will shape destinies, fuel healing, and restore what's been lost while being surrounded by a community known for its spirit of cooperation and support.

If youre eager to thrive, give back, and establish roots in a nurturing community we cant wait for you to join us.
