In this position, you'll do more than merely address symptoms; you'll help rebuild routines, restore confidence, and renew joy in everyday life. Your expertise will shine as you guide stroke survivors through fine motor rehabilitation and assist orthopedic patients in reclaiming mobility post-surgery, providing care that prioritizes personal experiences and promotes resilience.

This isn't an environment for simply going through the motions. Here, each patient represents a unique story, and every therapy session is a step in their journey towards recovery. You'll partner with fellow therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers to create rehabilitation plans as distinct as the individuals you serve.

Weve cultivated something extraordinary within our team. Our rehabilitation professionals dont just clock in and out; we support one another, exchange insights, and celebrate every achievement together. You'll be welcomed into a workplace where your contributions matter, growth is encouraged, and your influence shines through daily accomplishments.

And lets talk about the backdrop: New Orleans , a city that enchants with its rich history and vibrant artistry. Bid farewell to monotonous urban environments. Here, youll discover charming neighborhoods alive with jazz music, tantalizing cuisine that ranges from iconic poboys to rich gumbo, and stunning architecture that captures a spirit of resilience and creativity.

The community thrives with artists, musicians, and chefs, yet maintains a leisurely pace that encourages connections and spontaneous strolls along the historic streets. Youll find inspiration in every corner from captivating galleries to energetic festivals and a sense of belonging that leaves a lasting impression on all who call this city home.

Were on the lookout for an individual who views occupational therapy not merely as a career, but as a calling. Someone whose heart swells when a patient regains the use of their hand, takes confident strides with less assistance, or expresses thoughts previously locked away.

Whether youre a seasoned OTR/L or a newly certified professional, youll flourish here if you approach your work with empathy, determination, and a sense of humility. If the fusion of exceptional care and a vibrant lifestyle resonates with you then you've discovered your ideal opportunity.

If you're ready to advance your career, give back to a supportive community, and find your home in a place that values you we look forward to welcoming you into our team.
