Begin this journey on 03/30/2026 and bring your dedication to a program that values your impact, resilience, and professional spirit.

Colorado’s Thornton locale presents a compelling backdrop for your clinical work and personal life. Nestled along the Front Range, Thornton combines easy access to the vibrancy of Denver with proximity to the foothills and endless outdoor adventures. Picture mornings spent exploring the expansive trails, afternoons collaborating with colleagues in modern facilities, and weekends discovering the region’s alpine scenery, farmers markets, and craft coffee culture. And across the state, Colorado offers a spectrum of environments—from urban rehabilitation centers to rural clinics—giving you the chance to apply your occupational therapy skills in varied contexts while enjoying a high quality of life. The appeal of this location goes beyond amenities; it’s about the opportunity to impact functional independence in familiar community settings while embracing the energy and network that a thriving metropolitan area provides.

In this Occupational Therapist role, you’ll lead patient assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and drive progress toward meaningful daily goals. Your responsibilities will include evaluating sensory, motor, cognitive, and psychosocial factors that affect daily function, designing therapeutic activities that promote independence, and guiding adaptive equipment use and home modification strategies. You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team—physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, physicians, nurses, and social workers—to coordinate care, communicate progress, and optimize discharge planning. The position offers the chance to advance your practice within occupational therapy specialties, whether you’re sharpening fine motor strategies for adults returning to work, refining upper‑extremity rehabilitation, supporting pediatric development, or leading fall prevention and safety initiatives in community settings. You’ll have the autonomy you need to tailor interventions to each patient’s environment, with the support of a robust framework that emphasizes evidence‑based practice and measurable outcomes. As you grow, there are clear pathways for clinical leadership, mentorship, and potential specialization, backed by ongoing professional development opportunities and access to the latest OT resources.

The package includes competitive compensation, a supportive onboarding experience, and comprehensive benefits designed to assist you in delivering exceptional care. You’ll be eligible for a signing bonus and housing assistance designed to ease the transition into a new city and clinical setting, helping you focus on patient care from day one. Your weekly pay ranges from $1,761 to $1,827, reflecting the value of your expertise and the complexity of the cases you’ll manage. The role also features extension opportunities that recognize your performance, foster continuity of care for patients, and enable you to deepen your professional impact over time. You’ll enjoy 24/7 support from a dedicated team traveling with you, ensuring you have reliable resources, guidance, and problem‑solving assistance whenever you need it. While traveling, you’ll benefit from proactive administrative and clinical support, helping you navigate housing, transportation, credentialing, and compliance with ease. Please note that the hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
