Mid Level
Introduction
Embark on a transformative journey as an Occupational Therapist in Seattle, Washington, where compassionate care meets boundless opportunity. This dedicated role invites you to apply your expertise to improve daily living, independence, and participation for a diverse range of clients. Starting 04/20/2026 for a multi-week assignment, you’ll enjoy 35 guaranteed hours each week and a competitive weekly compensation between 2,231 and 2,375. Beyond the immediate impact you’ll have in therapy rooms and clinics, you’ll be surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Pacific Northwest—where emerald forests meet glimmering waters, and the city’s dynamic energy blends seamlessly with breathtaking outdoor escapes. Picture mornings beside Puget Sound, afternoons optimizing adaptive equipment in collaborative rehab teams, and evenings exploring Seattle’s culture, cuisine, and coastline. Washington’s remarkable landscapes offer more than a backdrop; they fuel renewed purpose and balance as you deliver life-changing therapy.
Location Benefits
Seattle stands as a thriving hub for healthcare innovation, education, and community support. You will operate within a city known for top tier medical facilities, multidisciplinary teams, and a patient population that spans acute care, outpatient rehabilitation, and community-based services. The Region’s dynamic environment fosters rich professional growth—from neurologic rehabilitation to complex geriatrics and pediatrics—while expanding your clinical perspective through exposure to diverse diagnoses and culturally informed care. In your downtime, you’ll access a playground of experiences: the waterfront parks along Elliott Bay, the scenic chases of the nearby Cascades and Olympic ranges, ferries ferrying you to Isla locales, and a thriving arts and culinary scene that makes every week feel new. The opportunity to travel within the United States as part of a broader network also exists, enabling you to bring best practices from Seattle to other communities, and to bring insights from other regions back to your home base. This role celebrates the nuance of regional care while offering the security of a steady, structured schedule that respects your professional rhythm.
Role Specifics and Benefits
As an Occupational Therapist in this role, you will assess clients’ functional abilities, design and implement comprehensive therapy plans, and measure progress toward activities of daily living, mobility, cognitive engagement, and community reintegration. You’ll collaborate with physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, physicians, social workers, and families to coordinate care, document outcomes, and advocate for client-centered goals. You’ll tailor interventions to individual needs—whether supporting someone returning to work after injury, enabling a child to participate more fully in school activities, or assisting adults in maintaining independence at home. The position offers significant potential for professional growth within the specialty, including expanding competencies across neuromuscular rehabilitation, ergonomic assessment, assistive technology, and adaptive equipment prescription, all while refining your clinical reasoning in dynamic settings.
Benefits include a competitive compensation package with a potential signing incentive, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary stays, and extension opportunities that allow you to continue making an impact beyond the initial term. You’ll have access to strong support structures designed for traveling clinicians, including 24/7 coverage from a dedicated team, onboarding resources, and clear escalation paths so you can focus on patient care with peace of mind. Emphasis on evidence-based practice and continuous learning means you’ll have ample opportunities to pursue certifications, attend continuing education sessions, and engage with mentors who value your professional voice and patient outcomes. You’ll also receive administrative support for charting, scheduling, and care coordination, freeing you to devote energy to meaningful patient interactions and clinical excellence.
