Travel Occupational Therapist Job

Embark on a dynamic journey as a Travel Occupational Therapist in the field of Occupational Therapy, with an exciting opportunity in Maine, Kennebunk, and options to serve across diverse settings nationwide. This role invites you to shape meaningful outcomes for clients of all ages, to innovate in treatment planning, and to broaden your clinical repertoire while soaking in the character and coastlines of New England. Imagine starting your day in a town known for its welcoming pace, historic architecture, and miles of coastline, then carrying that care with you as you travel to facilities across the country. Alongside the clinical impact, you’ll have occasions to explore Maine’s celebrated beauty—craggy shores, lobster shacks, lighthouses, and the serenity of forested trails—moments that refresh your perspective and deepen your compassion for those you serve.

Location benefits go beyond a picturesque base in Kennebunk. You’ll enjoy a coastal community renowned for its quality healthcare network, accessible outdoor recreation, and a lifestyle that blends professional purpose with regional charm. Kennebunk offers short commutes, easy access to beaches, quaint shops, and dining that highlights fresh local fare. The opportunity to work in Maine can be your home base while also offering the flexibility to take assignments in other U.S. locations, delivering exposure to a range of clinical environments—from acute care to outpatient services, schools to community programs. This blend broadens your professional toolkit, expands your professional network, and creates enriched patient-centered care experiences whether you stay put for a stretch or rotate through varied settings. Each assignment is designed to be rewarding, with consistent support and resources that help you stay focused on delivering the best possible outcomes for those you serve.

Role specifics and benefits are crafted to support your expertise and your growth. As a Travel Occupational Therapist, your responsibilities will center on comprehensive patient evaluations, manual and functional therapy, activity analysis, and the development of tailored treatment plans that emphasize independence, safety, and quality of life. You’ll guide patients and families through education on home modifications, adaptive equipment, and strategies to transfer skills to daily life, while coordinating with interdisciplinary teams to ensure seamless care transitions. Documentation, compliance, and outcome measurement will be integral to ongoing improvement and accountability. You’ll continually refine assessment techniques and intervention strategies to address cognitive, sensory, motor, and psychosocial needs, always aligning with best practices within occupational therapy. The role supports professional growth through access to continuing education opportunities, mentorship from experienced OT leaders, and the chance to gain exposure to a broad spectrum of clinical presentations. We offer a competitive compensation package that includes a bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities so you can plan longer-term pathways within our network. A dedicated, experienced support team stands with you 24/7 while you travel, ensuring you’re never alone when you’re on assignment or between assignments. You’ll have guaranteed hours at 35 per week, with a start date of 12/29/2025 and an assignment duration described as Weeks, giving you a reliable framework to plan your life around while still enjoying the variety of assignments that keep your practice dynamic and engaging.

The company values your contributions and is committed to empowering your career trajectory. We prioritize a supportive work environment where curiosity is rewarded, clinical judgment is respected, and ongoing professional development is a central pillar. Our approach emphasizes collaboration, transparent communication, and the resources you need to advance into higher-responsibility roles or specialized OT areas. Whether you’re seeking broader exposure to pediatric, adult, or geriatric populations, or aiming to pursue specialty certifications, you’ll find a culture that supports your goals, recognizes your impact, and celebrates your growth.

If you’re ready to take the next step and join a team that values your expertise as an OT and your dedication to client-centered care, we invite you to apply. This is more than a contract—it’s a platform to sharpen your clinical skills, explore diverse practice settings, and contribute to communities while enjoying Maine’s distinctive coastal lifestyle and the broader opportunities our network provides. Discover how your compassionate, skilled practice can flourish here, and help shape the future of occupational health wherever your travels take you.
