Cypress Woods
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as an Occupational Therapist in Angleton, Texas, where your clinical expertise and compassionate approach can redefine everyday life for patients across inpatient and outpatient settings. This assignment begins on 01/03/2026 and offers a robust, week-by-week opportunity to apply evidence-based strategies, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and witness tangible improvements in functional independence. In the heart of Texas’s Gulf Coast region, you’ll discover a community-rich environment framed by sun-drenched shores, true southern hospitality, and a pace that invites you to mentor, learn, and grow. Beyond Angleton, this opportunity can open doors to additional placements across the state and, when you’re ready, across the United States, allowing you to explore diverse clinical environments—from bustling urban centers to tranquil rural communities. Texas offers a tapestry of outdoor adventures, historic towns, vibrant food scenes, and easy access to Galveston’s beaches, the piney woods of East Texas, and the scenic Hill Country—perfect for weekend explorations that refresh your perspective and fuel your professional momentum.

Location benefits are plentiful in Angleton and the surrounding Houston area. You’ll enjoy a supportive, close-knit community that values your profession and your voice in patient-centered care. Proximity to Houston means access to renowned educational resources, professional networks, and opportunities for ongoing learning while maintaining a balanced lifestyle. The region blends affordable living with modern amenities, inviting you to settle into a welcoming neighborhood where family, friends, and career can thrive together. The Texas landscape—coastal breezes, expansive skies, and accessible outdoor recreation—offers a refreshing backdrop for clinicians who value resilience and renewal. If you choose to broaden your horizon through travel assignments, you’ll gain exposure to a spectrum of patient populations, facility types, and treatment modalities across multiple locations in the U.S.—all supported by a structured system designed to help you adapt quickly and confidently.

In this role, you’ll deliver comprehensive occupational therapy services to diverse patients, guiding evaluation, goal-setting, treatment planning, and execution that aligns with individualized care plans and payer requirements. You’ll assess activities of daily living, mobility, cognition, and upper-extensor control; design therapeutic interventions that promote independence in self-care, work readiness, leisure engagement, and community participation; and educate patients, families, and caregivers on strategies to sustain progress beyond the clinical setting. You’ll collaborate closely with physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, social workers, and case managers to ensure cohesive care trajectories. You’ll have opportunities to specialize in pediatrics, geriatrics, or rehabilitative services, expanding your clinical toolkit while pursuing continuing education and specialty certifications. The role emphasizes evidence-based practice, data-driven progress tracking, and a patient-first philosophy that respects cultural values and personal goals. You’ll be encouraged to mentor newer clinicians, contribute to program development, and participate in quality improvement initiatives that reinforce clinical excellence and patient safety.

Compensation and benefits are designed with your professional vitality in mind. You’ll receive competitive weekly pay in the range of $2,068 to $2,103, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, supporting financial stability and predictable scheduling. The assignment offers an initial start date of 01/03/2026 and provides structured opportunities for contract extensions, enabling you to deepen your impact within a supportive framework. A bonus is available to recognize outstanding performance, and housing assistance is provided to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, making a transition smoother for you and your family. If you’re seeking continuity, the extension options give you a clear pathway to grow within the role while building lasting professional relationships. The travel-support ecosystem is comprehensive: 24/7 assistance is available to guide you through clinical challenges, logistics, housing, and daily life on the road, ensuring you feel valued and secured no matter where your assignment takes you.

Beyond the immediate role, the company proudly upholds values centered on empowerment, career development, and a collaborative, supportive work culture. You’ll find a leadership team committed to your growth, offering mentorship, targeted training, and access to resources that help you advance toward specialized OT credentials and leadership pathways. The environment emphasizes respect, inclusion, and open communication, with there being a strong emphasis on balancing clinical excellence with personal well-being—recognizing that your best care begins with your own resilience and professional fulfillment.

If you’re ready to make a meaningful difference and expand your professional horizons, this is an exciting chance to join a company that values your contributions, champions ongoing development, and stands by you from onboarding through ongoing career milestones. Take this moment to envision yourself shaping adaptive strategies that restore independence, promote participation, and enrich lives in Angleton, Texas and beyond. Apply today to begin a rewarding chapter as an Occupational Therapist whose expertise touches families, communities, and futures.
