Overview Step into a purposeful role as an Occupational Therapist in Monterey, California, where your expertise will empower individuals to regain independence, build confidence, and navigate daily life with greater ease. This multi‑week assignment begins on 01/26/2026 and offers you the chance to lead therapeutic interventions in a vibrant coastal community. Picture yourself partnering with patients across rehabilitation settings, translating assessment insights into tangible functional gains, and mentoring colleagues along the way. In Monterey, you’ll work within a network that values thoughtful care, innovation, and the everyday miracles that come from patient progress. And beyond the immediate impact, you’ll enjoy the beauty of California’s central coast – gently rolling hills, the glow of the Monterey Bay, charming villages, and access to outdoor adventures that refresh your perspective after meaningful days of care.

Location Benefits Monterey combines a temperate climate with rich natural scenery, offering an inspiring backdrop for healing work. From scenic coastline drives along Cannery Row to strolling through downtown shops and cafés, the area invites balance between professional focus and personal well‑being. Working here means you’ll experience a supportive community that prioritizes work‑life harmony, while maintaining opportunities to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. For those who enjoy exploring further, our program also offers flexible assignments across diverse locations in the U.S., delivering the chance to broaden clinical experience, expand professional networks, and discover new practice environments.

Role Specifics and Benefits As an Occupational Therapist in this role, you’ll assess clients’ functional abilities, design customized intervention plans, and guide activity‑based therapies that restore independence in daily tasks such as self‑care, work activities, and community participation. You’ll lead therapeutic activities that promote motor control, sensory processing, cognitive engagement, and adaptive equipment use, while collaborating closely with physicians, nurses, speech therapists, and social workers to ensure a holistic approach. Your responsibilities include comprehensive documentation, progress monitoring, and strategic goal setting that honors each patient’s values and life context. The position offers a robust pathway for professional growth within the specialty – opportunities to advance into senior OT roles, contribute to program development, or specialize in areas such as pediatrics, geriatrics, or neurorehabilitation as your interests evolve. Compensation is competitive, with a weekly pay range of \$1,894 to \$2,002, and guaranteed hours of 38 per week. A notable bonus is provided to recognize early alignment with program goals, and housing assistance is available to ease relocation and transition. Extension opportunities are offered for performers who demonstrate impact and alignment with our mission, allowing you to continue contributing to patient outcomes while deepening clinical expertise. You’ll be supported by a dedicated team, including 24/7 assistance from the company as you travel, coordinate travel arrangements, and navigate any workplace needs that arise. In addition to clinical resources, you’ll have access to continuing education stipends, mentorship from experienced therapists, and a culture that emphasizes reflective practice, evidence‑based care, and compassionate service. The setting will challenge you to innovate – designing adaptive strategies for diverse patient populations, implementing best practices in functional therapy, and documenting outcomes that demonstrate value to patients, families, and care teams. You’ll also mentor apprentices and new staff, sharing your knowledge to strengthen the overall program and elevate the standard of care across locations. The environment is fast‑paced yet supportive, designed to reward thoughtful clinicians who value patient‑centered care, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
