You’ll collaborate with a dynamic team of professionals who share your commitment to compassionate care and evidence-based practice. This is your opportunity to broaden your clinical skills, deepen your impact, and grow within a supportive, values-driven organization. California’s beauty accompanies your work—from the verdant valleys of the Willows region to the rolling foothills and scenic vistas that define the Golden State. Whether you’re out enjoying a stroll along local trails or taking a weekend to explore the Sierra Nevada foothills, the natural surroundings inspire balance and well-being as you advance your career.
Location Benefits
Willows offers a welcoming, close-knit community with quick access to outdoor recreation, family-friendly amenities, and practical conveniences for traveling professionals. You’ll experience a meaningful, stable assignment with guaranteed hours and a supportive environment, all while earning competitive weekly compensation. Beyond Willows, this opportunity provides the flexibility to work in various locations across the United States, expanding your clinical exposure and professional network. You can tailor your experience across settings—from acute care and outpatient clinics to community-based programs—while enjoying the benefits of a national framework designed to support traveling therapists. In every location, you’ll benefit from onboarding guidance, local orientation, and a culture that values your contributions, adaptability, and passion for helping others.

Role Specifics and Benefits
In this OT role, you’ll conduct comprehensive assessments to identify strengths, barriers, and goals, then develop and implement individualized treatment plans focused on activities of daily living, mobility, dexterity, cognition, and patient safety. You’ll collaborate closely with clients, families, and multidisciplinary teams to optimize outcomes, document progress, and adjust plans as needed. Core responsibilities include independent and collaborative treatment sessions, hand therapy or upper-extremity rehab when appropriate, fabricating and training in assistive devices, and providing caregiver education to promote carryover at home. You’ll document with accuracy and timeliness, maintain compliance with best practices, and advocate for patient needs in a way that respects autonomy and dignity. This assignment also emphasizes ongoing professional growth within occupational therapy, with opportunities to deepen specialization in areas such as pediatrics, neurorehabilitation, geriatrics, or community-based rehab.
Competitive benefits begin with a generous weekly pay range of $2,002–$2,090, reflecting the value you bring to our teams.

A dedicated travel care team will assist with onboarding, local housing logistics, credentialing, and any needs that arise during your assignment, so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care.

The blend of hands-on practice, meaningful outcomes, and structured support creates a strong path for professional advancement and mastery within your specialty.
