Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Occupational Therapist in Maryland, Silver Spring, where your clinical expertise will illuminate lives and restore independence across diverse clinical settings. Beginning February 23, 2026, you’ll join a mission-driven program designed to support your path as a seasoned OT while delivering meaningful care to patients navigating recovery, adaptation, and daily living activities. In this role, you’ll evaluate functional abilities, design individualized treatment plans, implement evidence‑based interventions, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to optimize outcomes. You’ll guide patients through therapeutic activities that promote motor control, cognitive skills, sensory processing, and environmental mod adaptations, while advocating for patient-centered goals and empowering families to participate in the rehabilitation journey. Your work will contribute to smoother transitions from hospital to home, enhanced quality of life, and heightened community participation for individuals across age ranges and abilities. This opportunity also offers a window into Maryland’s rich healthcare landscape, where you’ll engage with innovative practices and supportive mentors dedicated to professional excellence. Separately, you can discover the state’s beauty—miles of scenic coastline along the Chesapeake Bay, vibrant urban neighborhoods in Silver Spring and nearby Bethesda, lush parks and river trails, historic towns, and a culture of exploration that complements your professional lifestyle with memorable outdoor experiences and weekend adventures.
Location benefits play a crucial role in this assignment. Silver Spring, Maryland, places you in a dynamic corridor just outside Washington, D.C., blending urban amenities with suburban warmth. You’ll enjoy convenient access to world‑class medical networks, continuing education opportunities, and diverse patient populations that enrich clinical insight. The region’s parks, museums, theaters, and eclectic dining options create a balanced work‑life rhythm, enabling you to recharge after impactful days with patients. The opportunity to work in various locations across the United States adds an exciting dimension, offering exposure to different hospital systems, patient demographics, and practice environments. Whether you’re collaborating in a fast‑paced inpatient unit, a restorative outpatient clinic, or a skilled rehabilitation setting, you’ll gain versatile experience while expanding your professional network and advancing your OT practice. The role also provides competitive financial and logistical support: a weekly pay range of $1,723–$1,874, with guaranteed hours of 35 per week, and start date of 02/23/2026. Benefits extend beyond compensation to housing assistance and the potential for contract extensions, reflecting the program’s commitment to your stability and growth as a practitioner who travels with purpose.
Role specifics and benefits are crafted to maximize your professional growth within occupational therapy. You’ll lead comprehensive assessments, develop and revise tailored therapy plans, and implement intervention strategies addressing activities of daily living, fine motor skills, sensory integration, perceptual skills, and adaptive equipment needs. The position supports a broad spectrum of patient populations, from pediatric to adult and geriatric, across inpatient, outpatient, and transitional care settings, enabling you to refine your expertise in a holistic and collaborative environment. You’ll have access to ongoing education resources, mentorship, and opportunities to specialize in areas such as hand therapy, neurological rehab, cognitive rehabilitation, and community reintegration. Besides competitive compensation, the role emphasizes a robust benefits package that includes a sign‑on bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend the contract, ensuring continuity for both you and the patients you serve. A cornerstone of the experience is 24/7 support from a dedicated travel care team, ensuring you have reliable guidance, scheduling flexibility, and immediate assistance whenever you need it on the road. The program respects your professional boundaries while encouraging you to pursue advanced certifications and leadership development within the OT field.
Company values are expressed through a commitment to empowering your career and fostering a supportive, inclusive work culture. The organization prioritizes your professional advancement, recognizing your expertise, dedication, and impact on patient independence. You’ll work alongside clinicians who value reflective practice, evidence‑based decision making, and collaborative problem solving. The environment is designed to nurture confidence, resilience, and innovation, with resources and peers who celebrate your contributions and champion your growth. The company’s ethos centers on promoting a healthier workforce, encouraging sustainable work patterns, and supporting you as you navigate complex cases with compassion and integrity. When you join, you’re not just taking a contract—you’re joining a community that invests in your long‑term success and well‑being, where your OT leadership can inspire colleagues and contribute to improved client outcomes across multiple settings.
