Regional West Medical Center
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as an Occupational Therapist in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, beginning 01/05/2026, with a structured assignment designed to honor your expertise and your passion for helping patients reclaim independence. This role guarantees 40 hours per week, with competitive weekly pay in the range of $2,262 to $2,293, reflecting the value you bring to every therapy session, care plan, and patient milestone. You’ll apply evidence-based evaluation and intervention techniques to design comprehensive recovery programs that emphasize safe independence, functional mobility, cognitive engagement, and meaningful daily activities. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and social workers to craft person-centered plans, monitor progress through measurable outcomes, adjust goals as patients advance, and celebrate incremental gains that translate into real-life improvements. In Scottsbluff, you’ll be part of a community that blends small-town warmth with professional opportunity, where your clinical judgment shines and your impact is visible in the day-to-day improvements of the people you serve. And as you consider this doorway into a broader professional chapter, you’ll find room to grow, nurture leadership potential, and expand your practice through diverse case mixes and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Beyond the clinic walls, Nebraska’s wide horizons invite weekend explorations—spacious skies, rolling plains, and scenic spots such as Scotts Bluff National Monument, Chimney Rock, Lake Minatare, and plentiful parks that remind you why excellent care thrives when you’re inspired by the place you call home.
Location Benefits: This opportunity centers in Scottsbluff, a friendly hub nestled in western Nebraska where community ties run deep and the pace invites thoughtful clinical consideration. You’ll enjoy a supportive local network, access to regional amenities, and a quality of life that balances professional aims with personal well-being. The assignment also offers the flexibility to work in additional locations across the United States, broadening your clinical exposure and enriching your portfolio. Whether you crave rural encounters that demand broad-based problem-solving or urban-adjacent environments that offer streamlined interprofessional collaboration, you’ll find pathways that align with your preferences. The position is designed to maximize professional satisfaction while honoring your need for dependable scheduling and predictable earnings, with a guaranteed 40 hours weekly schedule and transparent compensation tied to a competitive weekly range. As you navigate this role, you’ll benefit from housing assistance and a welcome-to-the-team bonus that recognizes your experience and readiness to contribute from day one. The option to extend beyond the initial term provides continuity for patients and stability for you, fostering long-term relationships and ongoing professional development. And because traveling healthcare can be demanding, you’ll receive 24/7 support from a dedicated team ready to assist with logistics, clinical questions, or any encore needs during your travels.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an Occupational Therapist in this program, your core responsibilities will include performing comprehensive patient evaluations to identify deficits in activities of daily living, fine motor skills, upper-extremity function, cognitive and perceptual abilities, and psychosocial considerations that influence rehabilitation. You’ll develop individualized treatment plans aligned with patient goals, apply evidence-based interventions, and adjust plans as progress unfolds. You’ll document outcomes, communicate with caregivers and medical staff, and advocate for adaptive equipment, home modifications, and community resources that promote safe, independent living. The role invites ongoing professional growth within the specialty through exposure to diverse caseloads, mentorship, and opportunities to expand into specialized areas such as geriatrics, pediatrics, hand therapy, or neurorehabilitation, depending on interest and needs. We emphasize competitive benefits, including a signing incentive, comprehensive housing support, and the possibility of contract extensions that recognize reliability and clinical impact. You’ll enjoy robust support systems: a 24/7 travel partner for logistical and clinical questions, access to clinical resources and continuing education allowances, and a collaborative network that values your voice in care planning. The environment underscores a strong culture of safety, communication, and quality improvement, ensuring you’re never navigating complex cases alone and always backed by a network that places patient outcomes at the forefront.
Company Values: Our organization is built on a commitment to empower staff—investing in skill advancement, leadership opportunities, and a culture where curiosity, compassion, and accountability are daily staples. We champion a supportive work environment that prioritizes open communication, structured onboarding, peer mentorship, and a clear pathway for career progression within occupational therapy and related disciplines. Your professional development is a cornerstone, with resources dedicated to evidence-based practice, skill refinement, and opportunities to contribute to program design, outcomes research, and interdisciplinary education for colleagues and students. By choosing this role, you join a team that respects your expertise, values your judgment, and partners with you to achieve both personal satisfaction and meaningful patient impact.
Call to Action: If you’re ready to elevate your OT practice in a community-minded setting while exploring the broader landscape of U.S. healthcare placements, apply now and seize this opportunity to contribute, grow, and thrive. Start date 01/05/2026, guaranteed 40 hours weekly, competitive pay, housing assistance, and extension options await a clinician who is ready to lead with empathy, innovate with intention, and help patients reclaim independence in meaningful, lasting ways.
