About the Role

As a Travel Occupational Therapist, you will be responsible for creating individualized treatment plans, working closely with patients to develop, recover, or maintain skills necessary for daily living.

    • Develop comprehensive evaluation reports, identifying areas for improvement and required interventions.
  • Developing Treatment Plans:
    • Create personalized treatment plans based on assessment results, addressing specific patient needs.
    • Set measurable goals for improvement in areas like self-care, mobility, work performance, and cognitive skills.
    • Recommend therapeutic activities and exercises tailored to patients' abilities and progress.
  • Providing Therapeutic Interventions:
    • Implement individualized therapy programs to enhance patients' independence.
    • Use activities like exercises, games, and adaptive strategies to promote motor skills development and social interaction.
    • Work with patients on daily activities such as dressing, bathing, cooking, and using adaptive equipment for mobility.
  • Patient Education and Support:
    • Educate patients and families about rehabilitation techniques and strategies for enhancing functional independence.
    • Provide guidance on using adaptive equipment and tools (e.g., splints, mobility aids).
    • Offer emotional support and encouragement throughout the recovery process.
  • Collaboration and Communication:
    • Work closely with healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.
    • Participate in care planning meetings and share insights about patients' progress and therapy requirements.
    • Regularly communicate with families and caregivers to update them on progress and offer guidance on supporting therapy goals at home.
  • Documentation and Reporting:
    • Maintain accurate records of patients' progress, therapy sessions, and any modifications made to treatment plans.
    • Document and report patient progress in compliance with healthcare regulations.
    • Complete necessary reports and update care teams on patient progress, challenges, and success.
  • Rehabilitation and Recovery:
    • Monitor and reassess patient progress regularly to ensure therapy goals are being met.
    • Adjust treatment plans as necessary based on patient feedback and progress.
    • Help patients transition from therapy to independent living, ensuring they are prepared to manage daily tasks outside of a clinical environment.
  • Advocacy and Community Resources:
    • Advocate for patients to ensure access to necessary resources and support services.
    • Provide patients and families with information about community programs, support groups, and other resources that may assist in rehabilitation.
