Powerback - Hammonds Lane Center - R11A94
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as an Occupational Therapist on a travel assignment that blends the rich communities of Maryland with the vibrant energy of Brooklyn, while offering expansion opportunities across the United States. This is more than a position—it’s an invitation to amplify your impact by guiding clients toward meaningful independence, mastering advanced therapeutic approaches, and building a diverse portfolio of experiences that will elevate your practice for years to come. Starting February 23, 2026, you’ll deliver expert OT care in multiple settings, confidently meeting each client where they are and tailoring evidence-based interventions to restore function, participation, and quality of life. You’ll join a collaborative team that values curiosity, resiliency, and compassionate care, with a compensation package that recognizes your expertise and dedication. This opportunity provides weeks of rewarding clinical work, a guaranteed 35 hours per week, and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,919–$1,938, underscored by a commitment to your professional development and well-being.

Separately, take a moment to appreciate the places that frame your work. Maryland offers coastal charm and scenic escapes—from the serene shores of the Chesapeake Bay to historic towns and lush park landscapes that invite calm, reflective practice between sessions. In Brooklyn, you’ll experience a dynamic urban fabric where world-class healthcare institutions sit alongside iconic green spaces like Prospect Park and the scenic waterfronts along the East River. The region is steeped in culture, innovation, and community, providing a rich backdrop for meaningful OT practice. Beyond these hubs, the assignment opens doors to other locations across the U.S., delivering opportunities to broaden your clinical lens while maintaining the stability of a supported travel experience.

Location benefits go beyond place-based appeal. Working in Maryland and Brooklyn enables you to collaborate with diverse populations, from adults navigating recovery after neurological or orthopedic events to pediatric clients harnessing play-based strategies for development. You’ll gain exposure to a spectrum of care environments—acute, inpatient rehab, outpatient, schools, and community-based programs—each offering distinct professional challenges and chances to refine assessments, outcomes measures, and client-centered goals. The role also emphasizes flexibility: you’ll have access to travel-friendly scheduling, the potential for site-to-site placement, and the option to extend assignments, all while enjoying the security of a consistent, supervised framework. If you’re drawn to the possibility of occasional cross-country placements, a structured support system ensures you remain connected, informed, and empowered wherever you practice.

Role specifics and benefits are designed to advance your specialty practice while honoring your need for balance and growth. As the OT on this assignment, you’ll perform comprehensive evaluations, develop and implement individualized treatment plans, and monitor progress toward functional objectives across ADLs, IADLs, motor planning, cognition, and psychosocial components. You’ll collaborate closely with physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, social workers, and educators to integrate care plans that maximize independence and participation across daily routines, work, school, and community life. You’ll document outcomes, adjust interventions in response to progress, and advocate for clients’ goals within multidisciplinary teams. The position supports professional growth in key domains of Occupational Therapy—neuro reorganization, hand therapy, pediatrics, geriatrics, and rehabilitation technology—through ongoing in-services, mentorship, and access to evidence-based training. In return for your expertise, you’ll receive a comprehensive benefits package, including a competitive on-pay scale with a weekly range of $1,919–$1,938, and the promise of extension opportunities that recognize your impact. We also offer a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing, and the possibility to extend your contract to align with your career trajectory and personal plans.

A cornerstone of the experience is the robust support system designed for traveling professionals. You’ll have 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team, ensuring smooth logistics, timely credentialing, seamless housing arrangements, and real-time problem solving on the road. This continuous backbone lets you concentrate on delivering high-quality care and building strong therapeutic relationships with clients and families. The company’s commitment to your safety and success is matched by a shared ethos of empowerment: you’ll be encouraged to pursue ongoing education, specialty certifications, and leadership opportunities that accelerate your career within a supportive, team-oriented culture. You’ll be recognized not only for your clinical skills but also for your adaptability, communication, and enthusiasm for helping others reach their potential.

Our values center on empowering staff to advance with confidence. You’ll join a workplace that prioritizes learning, collaboration, and mutual respect, where constructive feedback is welcomed, achievements are celebrated, and your voice helps shape pathways for professional advancement. The assignment is crafted to be more than a job; it’s a gateway to expanding your clinical repertoire, refining your therapeutic philosophy, and influencing how OT practice responds to diverse communities. You’ll find encouragement to innovate within evidence-based practice, while maintaining a patient-first focus that honors dignity, autonomy, and personal goals. The organization believes in investing in people—their growth, well-being, and long-term career satisfaction—because thriving clinicians deliver transformative care.
