Mid Level
Step into a purpose-driven role as an Occupational Therapist in Cotulla, Texas, starting 01/19/2026 for a flexible weeks-long assignment that invites you to apply your expertise to empower clients to regain independence, participate fully in daily life, and rejoin their communities with confidence. In this position you will conduct comprehensive evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, and implement engaging, occupation-focused interventions that build strength, dexterity, cognition, and functional mobility. You’ll guide clients through meaningful activities, train families and caregivers, and create practical home programs that extend progress beyond clinic walls. Your steady clinical judgment and compassionate communication will help individuals of all ages navigate rehabilitation milestones, adapt to life’s demands, and celebrate tangible improvements in daily living. This role is designed for therapists who believe in multidisciplinary collaboration, evidence-based practice, and the transformative power of occupational therapy to restore purpose and independence.
Separately, you can appreciate the beauty of Texas—its vast skies, diverse landscapes, and rich cultural tapestry. Beyond Cotulla’s welcoming community, the state offers remarkable places to explore: rolling hills and winding rivers in the Hill Country, wide-open plains that stretch toward the horizon, the rugged charm of West Texas, and vibrant coastal experiences along the Gulf Coast. When you’re not making an impact in the clinic, Texas invites you to weekend getaways, scenic drives, and outdoor adventures that refresh the mind and renew the spirit.
Location Benefits: Cotulla provides a close-knit, community-centered environment where you can make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives while enjoying a balanced lifestyle. The setting offers opportunities to work within a regional healthcare network, collaborate with diverse professionals, and participate in initiatives that connect hospital-based care with community-based outcomes. For therapists who crave variety, there are options to work in additional locations across the U.S., broadening clinical exposure and enriching your professional experience while preserving the support and structure you rely on from the company.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Core responsibilities include conducting OT assessments, analyzing functional limitations, designed activity-based treatment plans, gait and balance activities, upper-extremity reeducation, cognitive-perception strategies, ADL/IADL training, adaptive equipment recommendations, home safety evaluations, caregiver coaching, and precise documentation to demonstrate progress and guide ongoing care.
- Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to optimize outcomes, participate in care conferences, and ensure seamless transition from hospital to home or community settings.
- Growth opportunities abound within the specialty, including mentorship from seasoned clinicians, access to continuing education, and structured pathways for skill expansion in areas such as pediatric, neurorehabilitation, or assistive technology.
- Competitive benefits include a bonus program to recognize performance, housing assistance if needed to support stable living arrangements during the assignment, and extension opportunities that allow you to continue your impact beyond the initial term.
- Comprehensive support is available 24/7 while traveling with the company, with dedicated travel coordinators and on-call clinical support to handle any clinical or logistical needs, so you can focus on delivering exceptional care and professional growth.
Company Values: Our organization is committed to empowering staff through respectful, inclusive, and collaborative culture that prioritizes patient outcomes and clinician well-being.
