Location Benefits:
Working in Newport, Vermont offers a tight-knit, family-friendly atmosphere with accessible amenities, outdoor recreation, and a high quality of life.

The Vermont landscape itself becomes a professional resource: calming natural light in therapy spaces, opportunities for nature-based activity planning, and a pace that fosters thoughtful, patient-centered care.

Document progress, modify goals, and advocate for patient and family education to maximize outcomes. Use outcome measures to demonstrate functional gains and contribute to quality improvement initiatives.
- Professional growth: This assignment offers ongoing opportunities to expand expertise in areas such as pediatrics, geriatrics, ergonomics, adaptive equipment, and home modification strategies. Engage in case discussions, mentorship, and continuing education that enhance your clinical leadership and broaden your scope of practice within the OT specialty.
- Competitive compensation and benefits: Earn a weekly pay range of $2,282-$2,385, with 36 guaranteed hours per week. The package includes a bonus opportunity to recognize successful completion or performance milestones, plus housing assistance to simplify your transition. There are extension opportunities to continue your valuable work beyond the initial term, enabling you to deepen patient relationships and refine your skillset in varied environments.
- Comprehensive support: Travel with confidence knowing you have 24/7 support from a dedicated corporate team. From onboarding and credentialing help to on-the-ground guidance and wellness resources, we’re invested in your safety, success, and sense of security while you’re on the road.
- Work-life integration: The schedule is designed to provide a consistent routine that supports personal time, exploration of Vermont’s communities, and the flexibility to pursue outdoor adventures or family activities during your downtime.
