The posting

The Occupational Therapy Contractor provides specialized, recovery-oriented occupational therapy services within our residential programs, primarily a program specializing in CPTSD and DID. This role focuses on enhancing patients’ functional independence, daily living skills, and overall quality of life through structured, evidence-based interventions. The Occupational Therapist collaborates closely with an interdisciplinary treatment team to support patients in building meaningful routines, improving coping strategies, and preparing for successful community reintegration. This is a contractor position working up to five hours per week.

Duties/Responsibilities:

Clinical Assessment & Treatment Planning:

  • Conduct comprehensive occupational therapy evaluations to assess functional abilities, including activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), cognitive functioning, sensory processing, and psychosocial skills.
  • Develop individualized, goal-oriented treatment plans aligned with each patient’s clinical presentation, treatment goals, and discharge planning needs.
  • Continuously assess patient progress and adjust interventions to support measurable outcomes.

Therapeutic Interventions:

  • Facilitate individual occupational therapy sessions focused on skill-building in areas such as daily structure, time management, emotional regulation, executive functioning, and social participation.
  • Provide interventions that promote independence in ADLs/IADLs, including hygiene and routines.
  • Support patients in developing healthy routines, leisure exploration, and engagement in meaningful activities that promote recovery.

Residential Milieu Integration:

  • Integrate occupational therapy interventions into the residential milieu to reinforce skill generalization and real-world application.
  • Collaborate with residential staff to identify opportunities for patients to practice skills within the program environment.
  • Provide recommendations for environmental modifications or supports to enhance patient functioning and safety.

Collaboration & Interdisciplinary Care:

  • Participate in interdisciplinary treatment team meetings, case conferences, and care planning discussions, as requested by the team.
  • Collaborate with psychiatry, nursing, social work, and other clinical staff to ensure cohesive and coordinated care.

Documentation & Compliance:

  • Maintain timely, accurate, and compliant documentation of all evaluations, treatment sessions, and progress notes in accordance with organizational policies and regulatory standards.
  • Ensure all services are delivered in alignment with best practices, ethical standards, and safety protocols.

Required Skills/Abilities:

  • Strong understanding of psychosocial rehabilitation and recovery-oriented care within a mental health setting.
  • Strong interest in working with adult survivors of severe trauma and an ability to work sensitively with individuals experiencing post-traumatic and dissociative symptoms.
  • Capacity to modify interventions to meet the needs of this specific population and to adapt interventions to align with the global treatment approach of the residential program.
  • Ability to engage patients with diverse psychiatric presentations, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, and thought disorders.
  • Ability to translate clinical concepts into practical, functional skill-building interventions.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and interdisciplinary collaboration skills.

Education and Experience:

  • Master’s or Doctoral degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program.
  • Current state licensure as an Occupational Therapist (or eligibility for licensure).
  • Minimum of 1–3 years of experience in a behavioral health, residential, or psychiatric setting preferred.
