Meeker, CO

Pioneers Medical Center
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative travel assignment as an Occupational Therapist in Meeker, Colorado, where your expertise will empower patients to reclaim independence, adapt environments, and engage more fully in daily life. In this role you’ll collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to design personalized therapy plans that foster functional gains, enhance mobility, and support meaningful participation at home, in the community, and across the care continuum. You’ll guide clients and families through adaptive strategies, equipment recommendations, and safety modifications that translate into real-world improvements. This opportunity not only strengthens your clinical impact but also broadens your perspective through diverse settings and populations. Beyond the professional rewards, Colorado reveals its own beauty—mountain sunsets, open skies, and a sense of exploration that lingers long after the therapy sessions end.
Meeker offers a compelling blend of scenic charm, small-town warmth, and professional opportunity. Working here means embracing a community that values collaboration, autonomy, and compassionate care, while enjoying a pace that allows you to connect with clients on a deeper level. The location presents an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts: wide-open trails, riverside strolls, and accessible mountain viewpoints are woven into the rhythm of daily life. For those who crave variation, there is also the potential to work in additional locations across the United States, expanding your OT repertoire across hospitals, outpatient clinics, schools, and skilled nursing environments. Such exposure accelerates growth, strengthens adaptability, and enhances your ability to tailor interventions to different settings and cultural contexts. Colorado’s four-season landscape invites recovery outdoors—after a session, you might unwind with a hike, a scenic drive, or a moment of reflection by a local park, all while applying evidence-based care in real-world environments.
Role specifics and benefits drive a compelling case for this assignment. As an Occupational Therapist in this position, you’ll conduct comprehensive evaluations, develop and implement customized treatment plans, and monitor progress toward functional goals. You’ll address activities of daily living, mobility, upper-extremity function, cognitive-motor integration, and home safety modifications, guiding clients through adaptive equipment, compensatory strategies, and caregiver education to support sustained independence. Collaboration with physicians, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and social workers will ensure holistic care and smooth transitions across care settings. The role offers meaningful opportunities for professional growth within the specialty, including exposure to pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations, complex caseloads, and innovative therapy approaches. You’ll enjoy a competitive compensation package, including a weekly pay range of $1,893 to $2,022, with guaranteed hours at 40 per week. A sign-on-style bonus and housing assistance are provided, easing the transition and enabling you to focus on clinical outcomes. There are extension opportunities that let you continue to broaden your experience beyond the initial contract, aligning with your personal goals and career trajectory. The program emphasizes robust support, with 24/7 assistance available as you travel with the company, ensuring you have reliable guidance, resources, and problem-solving help whenever you need it. In addition to clinical work, you’ll receive access to professional development resources, evidence-based practice forums, and mentorship from seasoned OT leaders who value curiosity, equity, and clinical excellence.
The company’s values center on empowering staff, cultivating a supportive work environment, and prioritizing career advancement. You’ll join a culture that recognizes your expertise, listens to your ideas, and invests in ongoing learning. Expect structured onboarding, clinical supervision as needed, opportunities to teach or present at ongoing education events, and a clear trajectory toward greater responsibility and specialization. The emphasis is on quality care delivered with compassion, ethical practice, and a collaborative spirit that respects the diverse backgrounds of clients and teammates alike. A strong commitment to work-life balance, transparent communication, and a person-first mindset underpins every interaction, ensuring you can deliver your best care while growing professionally and personally.
If you’re ready to apply, seize this exciting chance to join a company that values your contribution, supports your development, and helps you chart a bold path in occupational therapy. You’ll be part of a dynamic network that respects your expertise, expands your clinical horizons, and celebrates the impact you have on patients and families. Start date is March 16, 2026, with ongoing opportunities in Meeker and across the U.S. as you pursue your OT career goals in diverse environments, from hospital-based settings to community programs and school-based services. Ready to shape independent living and inspire confidence in every client you serve?
