Step into a rewarding travel opportunity as an Occupational Therapist in Pembroke, North Carolina, beginning 01/05/2026, on a dynamic assignment crafted to amplify your impact within this essential specialty. This role invites you to bring patient-centered care to diverse settings while enjoying the beauty and warmth of North Carolina. Picture yourself contributing to meaningful outcomes, guiding clients toward independence, and collaborating with a supportive team that respects your expertise. Beyond the professional fulfillment, the Tar Heel State offers beautiful places to explore—the Blue Ridge foothills, scenic coastal towns, historic sites, and vibrant communities that enrich your experience when you’re not in the clinic.
Pembroke combines welcoming communities with convenient access to education, culture, and outdoor recreation. Working here provides an authentic North Carolina experience—yet the role also opens the door to assignments across the United States, giving you the flexibility to broaden your clinical horizons, build a diverse portfolio, and connect with patient populations you’ve always wanted to serve. You’ll enjoy the advantages of a stable, travel-friendly schedule while maintaining a strong professional footprint wherever your journey takes you. The environment is designed to help you grow as a practitioner and to support your personal goals, whether you’re seeking deeper specialization, broader clinical exposure, or opportunities to mentor others on your team.
As an Occupational Therapist on this schedule, you’ll lead comprehensive evaluations and develop tailored intervention plans that enable clients to perform daily activities with greater independence. Your responsibilities will include designing goal-directed therapy programs, implementing evidence-based treatments, adjusting plans as progress is tracked, and educating patients, families, and caregivers to sustain gains after discharge. You’ll collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, speech therapists, and other rehabilitation professionals to ensure cohesive care, accurate documentation, and seamless transitions across settings. The role offers clear pathways for professional growth within the specialty, whether you gravitate toward complex neuromuscular rehab, pediatrics, adult adaptive technology, or community-based reintegration. The opportunity to expand your scope of practice and refine your clinical judgment in varied environments is a hallmark of this position.
Competitive compensation reflects the value you bring. Expect a weekly pay range of $1,799 to $1,974, with guaranteed weekly hours of 35.0, ensuring reliability as you plan your schedule and personal commitments. The assignment is designed to be long enough to foster meaningful impact while offering flexibility to extend based on performance, preference, and facility needs. In addition to strong compensation, you may be eligible for a signing bonus and housing assistance to ease transitions between locations. Extension opportunities abound for clinicians who demonstrate adaptability, collaborative spirit, and exceptional client outcomes, allowing you to continue advancing within a supportive framework that prioritizes your professional development.
We’re committed to your success beyond the clinic. Our company provides 24/7 support for traveling clinicians, ensuring you have immediate access to resources, guidance, and crisis management whenever you need it. You’ll benefit from a robust network of clinical and operational colleagues who empower you to navigate challenges with confidence, so you can focus on delivering outstanding care and pursuing your goals. The organization values your expertise, respects your autonomy, and actively cultivates an environment where career advancement is achievable through mentorship, ongoing education, and practical opportunities to broaden your skill set.
Our values center on empowering staff while fostering a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive workplace. You’ll join a culture that recognizes the critical role of therapists in improving quality of life and independence for clients across the lifespan. The team will invest in your growth with access to continuing education, constructive feedback, and clear pathways to elevated responsibilities within the specialty. This is more than a job—it’s a launching pad for your career, reinforcing your commitment to compassionate care, clinical excellence, and meaningful community impact.
