Occupational Therapist (OT) - Home Health- $2,500 Sign-On Bonus

Location: Mission Valley & Greater San Diego, CA
Service Area: San Diego County (In-Home Patient Visits)
Work Type: Full-Time (also open to Part-Time or Pier-Diem)
Compensation: $40-$63/hour, depending on experience, milage reimbursement, plus $2,500 sign-on bonus

About the Opportunity

A respected home health organization is seeking a dedicated Occupational Therapist to join its compassionate clinical team serving the Mission Valley and greater San Diego area. This role offers the rewarding opportunity to help patients regain independence, improve daily functioning, and safely thrive in the environment they know best-their homes.

As an Occupational Therapist in home health, you will assess functional limitations, develop personalized treatment plans, and guide patients and caregivers through rehabilitative techniques designed to enhance safety, mobility, and overall quality of life. You'll work collaboratively with a supportive interdisciplinary team committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct evaluations to assess patients' functional abilities, limitations, and home safety needs

  • Develop and implement individualized occupational therapy treatment plans

  • Educate patients and caregivers on therapeutic techniques, adaptive strategies, and equipment usage

  • Document all care accurately and promptly in accordance with regulatory and organizational standards

  • Partner with nursing, physical therapy, and other disciplines to ensure coordinated, effective care

  • Travel within the designated territory to provide in-home visits

Required Skills

  • Graduation from an accredited Occupational Therapy program

  • Active state licensure as an Occupational Therapist in California

  • Minimum of 1 year of experience as an Occupational Therapist

  • Current CPR certification

  • Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and automobile insurance

Additional Skills to Consider

  • Experience using EMR systems

  • Prior home health experience

  • Familiarity with Medicare home health guidelines

  • Ability to manage and prioritize a home-based therapy caseload

  • Skill in developing functional, goal-focused patient care plans

Benefits Include

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance

  • Paid Time Off (vacation, sick leave, holidays)

  • Mileage reimbursement

  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

  • Health Savings & Flexible Spending Accounts

  • Disability, Life, and AD&D Insurance

  • 401(k) retirement plan

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This position offers the autonomy and flexibility of home health paired with the support of a coordinated clinical team. You'll have the resources needed to focus on delivering meaningful, one-on-one patient care while enjoying opportunities for continued learning and professional growth. Your expertise will help patients function more confidently and safely within their daily environments.

Equal Opportunity & Inclusion

We are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply regardless of race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or veteran status. If you require accommodations during the hiring process, support is available.
