Begin your next chapter as an Occupational Therapist in Hawaii’s vibrant capital, Honolulu, where compassionate care meets a lifestyle that inspires longevity in your practice. This is more than a travel assignment—it’s a chance to sharpen your clinical expertise while making a meaningful difference in the lives of clients across a diverse spectrum of ages and conditions. In Hawaii, you’ll not only treat progress and independence but also immerse yourself in a culture renowned for warmth, resilience, and a community-centered approach to health. And when you’re ready for a change of scenery, this role opens doors to be deployed to other locations across the United States, broadening your impact and accelerating your professional journey. Picture yourself collaborating with interdisciplinary teams in state-of-the-art settings, guiding clients toward functional outcomes that empower them to return to school, work, and daily activities with confidence. The balance between professional excellence and the beauty of Hawaii creates an environment where your expertise can thrive and your spirit can flourish.

Location benefits extend beyond the sun and surf. Honolulu offers a dynamic healthcare landscape with opportunities to work in diverse clinical environments—from outpatient clinics that emphasize preventive care to rehabilitation centers that support complex recovery pathways. You’ll experience a community that values holistic care, embraces cultural competency, and encourages adaptive strategies tailored to each patient’s goals. Hawaii’s unique patient populations present rich, rewarding challenges that refine evaluation techniques, treatment planning, and outcome measurement. For those drawn to exploring new locales, this position also supports rotations and assignments across the U.S., delivering the professional variety that keeps your practice vital while maintaining the comfort and support of a trusted employer behind you every step of the way.

Role specifics and benefits come together to create a compelling pathway for growth as an Occupational Therapist. Core responsibilities include comprehensive patient assessments to identify barriers to participation, development and implementation of individualized intervention plans, and collaboration with families and care teams to optimize activities of daily living, safety, and independence. You’ll provide therapeutic activities designed to improve fine motor skills, cognitive function, hand-eye coordination, and functional mobility, while documenting progress and adjusting goals as needed. This role also offers exposure to diverse patient populations, enabling you to broaden your clinical repertoire—from pediatric fine motor programs to adult rehabilitation and geriatrics. The position supports continuous learning and specialization opportunities, with pathways to advance within the specialty and pursue certifications that align with your interests. In addition to competitive compensation, you’ll receive a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and clear extension opportunities, so you can plan for ongoing career development. The contract is structured to guarantee you 40 hours per week, with an initial duration of several weeks and the potential for extensions based on performance and program needs.

Compelling financial and logistical benefits accompany the clinical responsibilities. Weekly pay ranges from $2,077 to $2,170, reflecting your expertise and the value you bring to the clinical setting. The guaranteed 40 hours per week ensures consistency and stability in your income as you settle into your assignments and plan for the next steps in your travel schedule. In addition to salary, you’ll have access to a bonus program that recognizes performance and patient outcomes, and housing assistance to simplify relocation logistics. Extension opportunities are designed to reward your commitment and success, providing a clear pathway to longer-term placements should you choose to continue expanding your impact across facilities and communities.

Support is a cornerstone of this opportunity. You’ll benefit from comprehensive assistance and 24/7 support while traveling with the company. A dedicated team is available for clinical questions, travel logistics, housing coordination, and any personal needs that arise during your assignment. This robust support network is designed to minimize downtime, maximize your clinical time, and keep you confidently connected to resources that help you navigate new environments with ease. You’ll never be alone on this journey—your employer’s travel and clinical support ecosystem is there to ensure you can deliver exceptional care while enjoying a reusable, flexible, and secure professional experience.

Company values emphasize empowerment, growth, and a supportive work environment. The organization is committed to fostering your professional development through ongoing education, mentorship, and opportunities to expand your scope within occupational therapy. You’ll join a culture that respects your expertise, recognizes your contributions, and invests in your career trajectory.
