Full-Time School Based Occupational Therapist

4 months ago


San Diego, United States Community School of San Diego Full time

Seeking an ambitious, independent, and passionate full time Occupational Therapist to work in a school, located in sunny Ocean Beach California. It is a non-public school with 60 moderate/severe students who have 1:1 support. Class sizes are small and all of the teachers and support staff are absolutely wonderful to work with. The progress made by the students is truly amazing to see as all therapeutic intervention provided within the therapeutic setting is carried out by the staff throughout the students' day. The OT staff is further supported by two part time COTA's to assist with treatments and IEP preparation.

This job would require creativity, self-initiative, and teamwork as we have a dynamic multi-disciplinary approach. A strong background or love for sensory integration is a plus.

Half of the students' day is spent out in the community targeting functional academics, job readiness skills, and functional life skills. This specialty school allows for non-traditional and traditional therapeutic intervention. There are endless options when working at this school.

Our program is designed to service and help each student succeed and to meet them where they are at. Our intimate classroom size, outstanding staff, community support, and perfect location has facilitated the significant growth of our program consistently throughout the past 13 years.

Requirements / Qualifications

A current California Occupational Therapist License in good standing

Include cover letter and resume.
