In this specialty-focused role, you’ll partner with licensed therapists to design and implement impactful therapy plans, guide patients through activities of daily living, and empower families with practical strategies for home care. Your clinical insight will help patients regain independence, enhance mobility, and build confidence in their everyday routines. This assignment is not just a job—it's a chance to make a lasting imprint on lives while you expand your own professional horizon.
