You’ll evaluate sensory, motor, cognitive, and functional skills; design individualized plans of care; implement evidence-based treatments; and measure progress toward meaningful milestones. Your work will extend beyond the clinic walls as you advocate for clients within their communities, partners, and families. This is more than therapy; it is a pathway to resilience, independence, and sustained improvements in quality of life. And as you advance your practice in this state, you can also be drawn to the extraordinary beauty and culture that define New Mexico—where red cliffs meet sunlit skies, ancient pueblos echo with history, and modern towns vibrate with creative energy. Separately, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the state’s remarkable places, from the enchantment of Taos and Santa Fe to the otherworldly sands of White Sands National Monument and the awe-inspiring views from Sandia Peak. Albuquerque’s vibrant neighborhoods, outdoor trails, and rich local cuisine provide a welcoming backdrop for a fulfilling professional journey.

In this role, you’ll lead comprehensive occupational therapy services—conduct comprehensive evaluations, develop dynamic, goal-oriented treatment plans, implement evidence-based interventions, and collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to optimize function and participation. You’ll address ADLs, IADLs, mobility, cognition, and neuromuscular skills, while also preparing clients and families for ongoing home exercise programs and community reintegration. The position offers professional growth within the specialty through exposure to diverse case mixes, opportunities to specialize in pediatrics or adults as needed, and access to continuing education and mentoring. You’ll also benefit from a competitive bonus program, housing assistance, and extension opportunities, ensuring that you can plan for continuity, stability, and advancement.
