Travel Occupational Therapist Job

Embark on a transformative opportunity as an Occupational Therapist in Newport, Vermont, where your expertise will empower individuals to regain independence, adapt to life after injury or illness, and thrive within a community that values compassionate care and innovative practice. This assignment invites you to apply your clinical ingenuity across meaningful therapeutic interventions, collaborating with dedicated teams to create personalized plans that honor each patient's goals. Picture your impact unfolding in a state renowned for pristine landscapes, charming small towns, and a pace of life that nurtures both professional focus and personal well‑being. Beyond the clinical role, Vermont reveals a tapestry of beauty—from the rolling green mountains to sparkling lakes, scenic byways, and vibrant autumn foliage—that invites exploration and inspires everyday moments of renewal.

Newport sits at the edge of Vermont's natural playground, offering a welcoming environment for healthcare professionals who relish balance and opportunity. Working in this location means joining a community that prioritizes connections—with patients, families, and colleagues—while benefiting from the region's outdoor access, four-season recreation, and a strong sense of civic pride. You'll have the chance to experience diverse settings within Vermont and across the U.S., expanding your professional horizons while staying rooted in a friendly, supportive neighborhood. The location also provides convenient access to cultural events, local markets, and services that enhance everyday practice and living, making your assignment as much about growth as it is about enjoying what Vermont offers.

In this role, you'll deliver OT services that support patients' functional independence across a range of settings. Core responsibilities include comprehensive assessments, individualized treatment planning, therapeutic activities that enhance daily living skills, sensory integration approaches where appropriate, and home safety evaluations and recommendations for durable medical equipment or adaptive devices. You'll collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams—physiatrists, nurses, speech therapists, social workers, and families—to align therapy goals with discharge plans and community resources. Your expertise will guide adaptations for mobility, cognition, fine motor skills, and environmental modifications that empower patients to return to meaningful daily routines. The position supports professional growth within the specialty through mentorship, case conferences, evidence-based practice, and opportunities to expand into specialty streams such as pediatrics, geriatrics, or neuro-rehabilitation, depending on the assigned site's needs. You'll operate within a structure that values patient-centered outcomes, documentation accuracy, and adherence to best practices while embracing creative problem-solving to overcome real-world challenges.

Benefit highlights for this assignment include competitive weekly pay in the range of 604 to 635 dollars, with guaranteed hours of 35 per week to provide stability and predictability. The contract supports you with housing assistance to ease relocation and ongoing living arrangements, making your transition seamless so you can focus on delivering exceptional care. An attractive completion bonus, where applicable, recognizes your commitment and successful tenure, with extension opportunities that enable you to continue growing in your specialty while maintaining continuity of care for patients and collaboration with your teams. The long-term value extends beyond compensation: a broad spectrum of extension options allows you to renew and expand your assignment, deepening your expertise and strengthening your professional footprint. You'll also benefit from comprehensive support services, including 24/7 assistance for traveling clinicians, access to travel coordinators, clinical resources, and on-call support to troubleshoot any situation—clinical or logistical—so you never navigate challenges alone.

This opportunity sits within a company guided by a clear mission: empower staff to advance their careers in a supportive, inclusive environment. You'll find a culture that prioritizes professional development, ongoing education, and mentorship, with leaders who listen to your feedback and collaborate to create pathways for progression. The organization champions work‑life balance, recognizes the value of diverse perspectives, and commits to equitable opportunities for all clinicians. You'll be part of a network that celebrates your contributions, provides structured onboarding, and equips you with resources to continually refine your practice and leadership capabilities. The emphasis on collaboration, integrity, and patient-centered care ensures you'll feel respected, valued, and inspired to reach new professional heights.

If you're ready to embrace a rewarding challenge in Newport, Vermont, this position offers a compelling avenue to apply your OT expertise, grow within a dynamic specialty, and experience the beauty and vitality of New England living. The assignment commences on 11/24/2025 and spans several weeks, with the potential for extensions based on performance, department needs, and patient outcomes. You'll join a team that models excellence in rehabilitative care while supporting your personal and professional development along the way.
