Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as an Occupational Therapist in Lanham, Maryland, where your expertise meets the daily impact of helping individuals reclaim independence, confidence, and joy in their everyday lives. This is more than a role—it's an opportunity to shape healing pathways across diverse settings, from acute care floors to outpatient clinics, home health programs, and community-based rehabilitation. As you step into this specialty, envision the moments when a patient takes a first unassisted step, manipulates a dependent device with renewed ease, or returns to meaningful activities after an injury or illness. In Maryland, you’ll discover a state rich with history, vibrant communities, and stunning places—from the tranquil shores of the Chesapeake Bay to the charming streets of Annapolis and the lush trails of nearby parks. Maryland’s blend of urban energy and natural beauty offers a welcoming backdrop for your professional and personal life, with easy access to the nation’s capital, cultural events, exceptional dining, and a host of outdoor adventures. The state’s dynamic landscapes provide an inspiring canvas for applying evidence-based OT practices in ways that genuinely improve quality of life for diverse populations.
Location Benefits: Lanham sits in proximity to the metropolitan buzz of the D.C. area while providing a more residential, collaborative environment ideal for patient-centered care. You’ll enjoy convenient access to top-tier facilities, multidisciplinary teams, and opportunities to collaborate with physicians, nurses, and social workers who share your commitment to holistic recovery. Beyond Lanham, this role opens pathways to assignments across Maryland and other U.S. locations, offering you the chance to experience varied clinical populations, settings, and care models. Whether you’re guiding a pediatric patient through fine motor activities in a school-based clinic or helping an adult regain independence after neurological injury, you’ll benefit from a setting that values your OT perspective. And when you crave a change of scenery, the broader travel program can place you in additional locales nationwide, expanding your professional network and enriching your clinical toolkit with diverse case mix and best practices unique to each community.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
As an Occupational Therapist in this assignment, you’ll lead comprehensive evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, and implement therapeutic interventions designed to restore independence in daily activities. Your responsibilities may include assessing motor skills, cognitive-perceptual abilities, and ADLs; selecting and fabricating adaptive equipment; facilitating meaningful activities that align with a patient’s goals; coordinating with caregivers and families; and documenting progress in alignment with best-practice guidelines. You’ll have the opportunity to advance your expertise within the OT specialty—whether you’re refining hand therapy techniques, enhancing neurological rehabilitation strategies, or expanding pediatric sensory processing interventions. The role emphasizes professional growth through mentorship, credentialing support, and continuing education opportunities, empowering you to stay at the forefront of rehabilitation science.
This position comes with an attractive compensation package: weekly pay between $1,286 and $1,312, with guaranteed hours of 35 per week, supporting financial stability during your assignment. A travel-friendly package includes housing assistance to ease transitions between sites, and a Signing Bonus that recognizes your experience and commitment. There are extension opportunities that allow you to build longer-term relationships with facilities and patients who benefit most from your care. You’ll be backed by 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team, ensuring you have seamless access to assistance, resources, and on-call guidance whenever you need it—whether you’re navigating a new site, coordinating with a family, or adjusting to a different clinical workflow. The program emphasizes a collaborative culture that values your clinical judgment, respects your professional voice, and places patient outcomes at the center of every plan.
Company Values: Our organization is rooted in empowering OT professionals to grow their careers while maintaining a strong commitment to patient-centered care. We cultivate a supportive work environment where you’re encouraged to innovate, reflect, and advance—whether through pursuing specialty certifications, leading patient education initiatives, or mentoring new clinicians. Expect a culture that honors work-life balance, recognizes the expertise you bring, and provides concrete pathways for advancement, recognition, and leadership within the OT field. Your contribution is not just valued—it drives positive change in the communities we serve.
Call to Action: If you’re ready to bring your OT expertise to Maryland and beyond, take this exciting step to join a company that prioritizes your development and well-being.
