Introduction
Embark on a transformative journey as an Occupational Therapist in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, where your expertise will restore independence, empower daily living, and foster meaningful strides in patient outcomes. This travel assignment places you at the forefront of rehabilitative care, enabling you to design and implement personalized therapeutic plans that restore autonomy, confidence, and quality of life for diverse client populations. Beginning on 12/11/2025, you’ll join a dynamic team for an initial assignment of several weeks with guaranteed 40 hours per week, delivering the highest standard of OT practice while enjoying competitive weekly pay in the range of $2,031 to $2,136.

Nebraska’s Western Beauty and Location Benefits
Nestled in western Nebraska, Scottsbluff offers a unique blend of small-town warmth and access to the natural splendor of the High Plains. Working here means daily opportunities to connect with a tight-knit community that values compassionate care and professional excellence. Beyond the hospital walls, you’ll discover scenic escapes that fuel balance and inspiration: explore the iconic Scotts Bluff National Monument and sweeping views that tell the story of the region’s geologic wonder, savor the quiet majesty of Chimney Rock overlook nearby, and plan weekend excursions to Lake McConaughy for water recreation and sunset serenity. Nebraska’s western landscapes invite reflection and renewal, making recovery and rehabilitation a more holistic journey for patients. Should you wish, the role also opens pathways to assignments at other U.S. locations, letting you experience diverse clinical settings, patient demographics, and therapeutic approaches while maintaining the stability of guaranteed hours and consistent weekly compensation. The location’s affordability, growing healthcare networks, and community resources create an optimal environment for professional growth, patient advocacy, and work–life balance as you underpin meaningful rehabilitative outcomes.
Role Specifics, Responsibilities, and Benefits
As an Occupational Therapist in this travel assignment, you’ll be the cornerstone of interdisciplinary collaboration, translating evaluation findings into actionable treatment plans that restore function and independence. Your typical responsibilities will include:
- Conduct comprehensive OT assessments to determine capabilities, limitations, and goals across activities of daily living, self-care, and meaningful occupations.
- Develop individualized treatment plans aligned with best practices, patient goals, and reimbursement criteria; select and implement interventions focusing on fine motor skills, cognitive-perceptual skills, adaptive equipment, and therapeutic activities that promote independence.
- Monitor progress, adjust goals, and communicate with clients, families, and the broader care team to ensure cohesive care transitions and smooth discharge planning.
- Provide patient and caregiver education on activity modification, home safety, energy conservation, and adaptive strategies to sustain improvements beyond therapy sessions.
- Document treatment plans and progress with accuracy, ensuring compliance with regulatory and payer requirements; contribute to quality improvement initiatives and evidence-based practice.
- Collaborate with physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, physicians, social workers, and case managers to coordinate comprehensive care plans and optimize outcomes.
- Pursue ongoing professional development, including specialty interests in pediatrics, adult neurorehabilitation, geriatrics, or community reintegration, with support for certifications as offered by the host site.
What you’ll gain goes beyond clinical growth. This role includes a compelling package designed to support your success:
- Competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $2,031 to $2,136, reflecting your experience and credentials.
- A guaranteed 40 hours per week, providing stable income and predictable scheduling in a travel setting.
- A sign-on or performance-based bonus designed to recognize your contributions and accelerate your onboarding.
- Housing assistance to simplify relocation logistics and help you settle into the Scottsbluff area quickly and comfortably.
