Travel Occupational Therapist Job

King City, CA
Contracted
Mee Memorial Hospital
Mid Level
Begin an impactful, purpose‑driven journey as an Occupational Therapist in King City, California, where your expertise will illuminate daily life for patients across a spectrum of ages and diagnoses. This specialty‑focused opportunity invites you to translate clinical knowledge into tangible independence, enabling people to return to work, school, home, and community activities with confidence. You’ll design, implement, and reassess individualized treatment plans that foster functional performance, self‑care skills, motor coordination, cognitive processing, sensory regulation, and meaningful engagement in occupations. In this role you won’t just treat conditions—you’ll partner with families, caregivers, and interdisciplinary teams to set meaningful goals, track outcomes, and celebrate durable progress. The position is structured to commence on 04/06/2026, with engagements measured in weeks and the potential to extend based on performance, community needs, and program availability. While you’ll enjoy the distinctive charm of California’s King City, you’ll also be connected to broader opportunities across the United States as part of a supportive travel‑therapy ecosystem that values your growth and flexibility. And beyond the clinic, California offers an inspiring backdrop: rolling vineyards, scenic coastlines, towering redwoods, sunlit beaches, and wide open spaces that invite reflection and balance. From the tranquil mornings in agricultural valleys to the vibrant cultural energy of nearby regions, this state nourishes both your professional life and your wellbeing.

Location benefits: King City presents a welcoming, family‑oriented environment with a small‑town feel and access to outdoor recreation, locally grown cuisine, and a strong sense of community. The climate is mild enough to enjoy year‑round activities, yet the landscape changes with the seasons, offering fresh colors and opportunities for weekend explorations. The proximity to Monterey Bay areas and coastal destinations makes for convenient day trips to beaches, whale watching, and scenic drives, while still letting you retreat to a quiet, affordable base after shifts. For clinicians who crave variety, the program structure accommodates travel across the U.S., exposing you to diverse patient populations, care settings, and collaborative teams. You’ll gain exposure to rural clinics, urban outreach sites, school environments, and outpatient facilities, enriching your clinical repertoire while maintaining a stable foundation in your King City placement. This blend of local appeal and national possibilities supports professional development, lifestyle balance, and a broader professional network that extends well beyond a single site.

Role specifics and benefits: As an Occupational Therapist in this program, you will perform comprehensive assessments of functional abilities, activity limitations, and participation restrictions; develop evidence‑based treatment plans; implement interventions to improve activities of daily living, upper‑extremity function, cognitive‑communication skills, sensory integration, and motor processing; and coordinate with physicians, speech therapists, physical therapists, social workers, and educators to optimize discharge planning and community reintegration. You’ll work toward measurable goals, document progress with clarity, and adjust strategies in response to client response, caregiver feedback, and data trends. The position provides a competitive weekly pay range of $2,467–$2,626, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, and a contract framework that operates in weeks with flexible extension opportunities based on clinical needs and performance. In addition to base compensation, you may qualify for a signing bonus and housing assistance to ease relocation and temporary lodging. We emphasize robust support including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, travel coordination, credentialing guidance, and ongoing clinical mentorship to ensure you’re never navigating a challenge alone. Whether your interest lies in pediatrics, geriatrics, hand therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, or community‑based services, you’ll find pathways for professional growth, specialty certifications, leadership development, and cross‑site learning that accelerate your career trajectory. You’ll also benefit from structured supervision, case reviews, and access to continuing education resources designed to deepen your expertise and widen your impact in the field of occupational therapy.

Company values: We are committed to empowering our clinicians, recognizing the value you bring to patients, families, and communities. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement, with a clear emphasis on career advancement and supportive, respectful work environments. We invest in your professional development through mentorship programs, stipend‑based education opportunities, and regular feedback loops that help you chart a course toward advanced practice roles, specialization, or leadership within our organization. Our staffing philosophy centers on reliable scheduling, responsive administrative support, and a culture that prioritizes clinician wellbeing, work‑life balance, and client‑centered care. By partnering with you to align clinical excellence with personal growth, we aim to reduce burnout and maximize job satisfaction while delivering high‑quality outcomes for the people we serve.

Call to action: If you’re a compassionate, adaptable Occupational Therapist who thrives in dynamic settings and is excited by the prospect of California’s diverse landscapes and the opportunity to travel across the U.S., we want to hear from you. This is your chance to join a company that values your expertise, respects your goals, and supports your progression as a clinician.
