Lacey, WA

North Thurston Public Schools
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic and meaningful journey as an Occupational Therapist in Washington, Lacey, where your expertise can empower individuals to reclaim independence, confidence, and the joy of everyday activities. This is your opportunity to apply specialized OT skills across diverse settings, collaborate with compassionate teams, and create measurable improvements in quality of life. Picture yourself guiding clients through meaningful daily routines, adapting environments, and leveraging evidence-based interventions that honor each person’s goals. Beyond the clinic walls, Washington’s natural beauty invites exploration: from the moss-draped evergreens of the Olympic Peninsula to the sparkling waters of Puget Sound, from Mount Rainier’s majestic vistas to vibrant urban experiences in nearby Seattle and the Capitol City’s cultural offerings. In your downtime, you’ll discover serene trails, waterfront vistas, and thriving communities that make Northwest living feel like a continual invitation to recharge and reflect.
Location benefits extend beyond the scenery. Lacey sits in a strategic hub near Olympia, offering easy access to skilled facilities, schools, and community programs that value rehabilitation and reintegration. You’ll join a network that supports interdisciplinary collaboration, professional growth, and exemplary patient outcomes. If you’re drawn to broader experiences, there are opportunities to extend your impact across other locations in the U.S., broadening your clinical perspectives while maintaining the core values of patient-centered care and measurable progress. The role harmonizes a stable, supportive work environment with the excitement of new settings, populations, and practice challenges, ensuring you remain engaged, energized, and continually learning.
Role specifics and benefits: As an Occupational Therapist in this assignment, you’ll assess ADLs and IADLs, develop comprehensive treatment plans, implement therapeutic activities, and adapt interventions to meet cognitive, perceptual, motor, and psychosocial needs. You’ll design and modify therapeutic environments, select assistive technologies, and collaborate with physicians, nurses, speech-language pathologists, and social workers to coordinate care that aligns with short- and long-term goals. You’ll measure progress using standardized tools, document outcomes with precision, and advocate for patient independence in home, school, or community contexts. The role offers clear pathways for professional growth within the OT specialty, including expanding into specialized intervention areas, programs for pediatric, adult, or geriatric populations, and leadership or mentorship opportunities as you demonstrate impact. Competitive benefits are part of the package, including a signing bonus, housing assistance or stipend if needed, and potential contract extensions that reward reliability, skill development, and exceptional patient care. You’ll receive robust support for every phase of travel and clinical work, with 24/7 assistance from our dedicated travel team to troubleshoot housing, scheduling, or clinical concerns, ensuring you can focus on delivering excellence. Weekly pay ranges from $2,152 to $2,287, reflecting a commitment to fair compensation for your expertise, along with flexible scheduling to balance personal and professional life. Start date is 01/12/2026, and the duration is defined in weeks, with the understanding that guaranteed hours are 0.0 but opportunities for extended engagement are plentiful for clinicians who demonstrate value and alignment with our mission.
Company values: Our organization is built on empowering OT professionals to advance in their careers within a supportive, collaborative environment. We celebrate continuous learning, evidence-based practice, and a culture that values empathy, resilience, and integrity. You’ll find mentorship, ongoing training, and clear performance pathways designed to elevate your clinical practice while preserving you as a person—balancing ambition with well-being. We are committed to creating workplaces where clinicians feel seen, heard, and equipped to lead change that improves patient outcomes, spans diverse settings, and strengthens communities.
Call to action: If you’re ready to apply your OT expertise in a setting that honors your professional goals and personal values, this is your moment. Join a company that values your contribution, supports your development, and stands by you on every journey—from local assignments to broader opportunities across the country.
