license. NBCOT

Your Role and Impact
In this position, you'll be more than a therapist-your role is to help restore daily routines, boost self-assurance, and reignite passion for life. From guiding stroke survivors through intricate rehabilitation to aiding orthopedic patients in regaining mobility post-surgery, you'll invest your skills and heart in providing individualized care that promotes recovery and independence.
This is a setting that cherishes depth over checklists. Each patient represents a unique narrative, and every therapy moment is a meaningful episode in their journey to recovery. Working alongside fellow therapists, physicians, and care providers, you'll co-design rehabilitation strategies as distinct as each person you support.
Why You Will Fall in Love with the Team and the Locale
The culture cultivated in our rehab team goes beyond working hours; we uplift one another, share knowledge freely, and celebrate victories together- regardless of their size. You will discover a nurturing workplace where your contributions are valued, your personal growth is paramount, and your daily efforts create significant changes in the lives of others.
And let's not overlook Des Moines, Iowa-a locale that wonderfully blends vibrant city life with Midwestern charm. Here, you can immerse yourself in an artistic community that thrives with local festivals, food markets, and a lively arts scene. From the beautiful parks lining the river to the inviting atmosphere of local cafés, there's a refreshing balance that uplifts both spirit and mind.
Join countless individuals who flock to this area, not only for its dynamic opportunities but also for its welcoming neighborhoods, rich in history and creativity. Whether enjoying live music or exploring unique boutiques, you'll uncover a lifestyle that celebrates both community and individuality. In Des Moines, there's a rhythm to life that reminds you to pause and appreciate the little joys, ensuring you maintain balance amidst the busyness of work.
Our Ideal Candidate
We are searching for someone for whom occupational therapy is not merely a job but a heartfelt vocation. Someone who beams with pride upon witnessing a patient regain their hand's abilities or move with more independence than ever before.
Whether you are an established OTR/L or a recent graduate with enthusiasm, your success will flourish in an environment where compassion, tenacity, and humility are the cornerstones of every interaction. If you envision melding high-quality care with an equally fulfilling lifestyle - look no further; this is your destination.
