Silver Spring, MD
Contracted
Fairland Center
Mid Level
Step into a rewarding travel Occupational Therapist role in Silver Spring, Maryland, where your expertise will elevate rehabilitative journeys and empower patients to reclaim independence. As you rotate through diverse clinical settings, you’ll shape individualized therapy plans, mentor support staff, and witness tangible progress that truly changes lives. Picture collaborating with forward-thinking clinicians, engaged families, and communities that celebrate compassionate care, all while you navigate a vibrant region rich in culture, innovation, and opportunity. This is more than a contract—it’s a chance to refine your craft, expand your clinical footprint, and make a lasting difference in the everyday lives of the people you serve. Your impact will resonate beyond the clinic walls, enriching your professional narrative as you grow in a supportive, dynamic environment that values curiosity, collaboration, and patient-centered outcomes. And as you devote your talents to Maryland families, you’ll have the autonomy to tailor your specialty focus toward meaningful requisites of adult, geriatric, and rehabilitation practice, while enjoying the lifestyle advantages of living near the nation’s capital and a region renowned for its balance of urban energy and outdoor serenity.
Maryland’s beauty beckons beyond the clinic doors. Stroll along the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal communities, explore Annapolis’s historic charm, or catch a sunset over the Inner Harbor. In Western Maryland, the Catoctin Mountains offer hiking and escape into nature, while Frederick’s brick-lined streets pulse with culture and cuisine. The state’s coastlines, rivers, and rolling landscapes create easy weekend retreats that refresh your perspective and fuel your clinical empathy. From the dynamic metropolitan vibe of Silver Spring to the tranquil pastoral escapes nearby, Maryland provides a perfect backdrop for a thriving OT career that blends professional purpose with restorative recreation.
Location benefits include access to top-tier healthcare networks, state-of-the-art facilities, and the opportunity to work in Silver Spring’s thriving suburban hub just outside Washington, D.C. You’ll benefit from a flexible travel program that allows exposure to multiple locations across the U.S., broadening your clinical approaches and expanding your professional network. Expect streamlined onboarding, collaborative teams, and a culture that prioritizes safety, patient advocacy, and measurable outcomes. While you enjoy the comfort and convenience of the Silver Spring area, you’ll also have the option to extend assignments to other sites, enabling you to diversify your caseload, refine specialty skills, and build a robust portfolio of experience that enhances career longevity.
In this role you’ll assume key responsibilities that showcase the full spectrum of occupational therapy expertise. You’ll assess patients’ functional abilities, analyze barriers to daily living activities, and design personalized therapy plans focused on improving independence, cognition, motor skills, and adaptive technique use. You’ll implement evidence-based interventions, monitor progress, adjust treatments, and collaborate with physicians, nurses, speech-language pathologists, and social workers to coordinate comprehensive care. Documentation will be precise, timely, and aligned with regulatory standards. You’ll provide patient and family education, discharge planning, and recommendations for home adaptations, equipment, and community resources. You’ll mentor support staff, contribute to clinical rounds, and engage in quality improvement initiatives that enhance safety and outcomes. The role also offers pathways for professional growth—deepening expertise in geriatrics, neurology, pediatrics, or hand therapy, and opportunities to pursue certifications or specialization tracks that align with your career ambitions.
Alongside professional growth, you’ll enjoy competitive benefits that recognize your expertise and commitment. A lucrative weekly pay range of $1,810–$1,951 reflects your skill and impact, with guaranteed hours of 35 per week providing stability and predictability. In addition to compensation, you’ll access a signing bonus or incentive structure, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, and extension opportunities that let you extend your journey with preferred assignments for continuity of care. Comprehensive support is a core pillar of the program: you’ll have 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, a dedicated clinical liaison, and local onboarding specialists who ensure you feel confident in every new site. You’ll also benefit from robust administrative support, streamlined travel logistics, and a community of peers who share your commitment to exceptional patient outcomes and professional camaraderie.
Our company is deeply committed to empowering staff, fostering career advancement, and nurturing a supportive work environment where every clinician can thrive. You’ll be part of a culture that values open communication, ongoing learning, and mutual respect. From mentorship opportunities to continuing education stipends and leadership development options, the organization prioritizes your long-term success and well-being as you navigate diverse clinical landscapes. We believe great care starts with empowered clinicians who feel supported, respected, and inspired to push the boundaries of rehabilitation science while maintaining work-life balance that sustains your passion and resilience.

This is your invitation to join a company that honors your contributions and invests in your professional development. Start date is 03/02/2026, with a multi-week assignment aligned to your specialty and regional needs.
