Location Benefits:
Cumming, GA offers a premier base for accessible, patient-centered care, with strong regional healthcare networks and a supportive professional community. You’ll enjoy proximity to excellent schools, parks, and family-friendly amenities, along with easy access to Atlanta’s cultural offerings and dining scenes. Working in this locale provides an opportunity to establish deep ties within a thriving regional health system while benefiting from a stable, well-compensated contract role. For those drawn to broader horizons, this assignment also offers the chance to travel to varied sites across the United States, experiencing urban, suburban, and rural settings. You’ll expand your professional repertoire while embracing new clinical environments, differing patient demographics, and evolving care models, all while enjoying consistent hours and dependable compensation. In Georgia, you can savor outdoor adventures—hiking, boating, and scenic drives—alongside the satisfaction of helping patients regain autonomy in their daily routines.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
As an Occupational Therapist on this contract, your primary responsibilities center on comprehensive evaluation, targeted interventions, and thoughtful discharge planning that keeps patient goals at the forefront.

You’ll implement evidence-based interventions, including adaptive equipment training, assistive technology integration, gait and balance re-education, fine motor skill development, home modification recommendations, and caregiver education. Documentation, progress tracking, and collaboration with physicians, therapists, and case managers will be essential as you advocate for patient progress and safe transitions to community living. Your role will also include patient and family education, safety coaching, and adherence to regulatory standards, ensuring high-quality care across the care continuum. The position supports professional growth through opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, participate in mentorship programs, and engage in constructive performance feedback that fuels career advancement within the field of occupational therapy.

You’ll benefit from a comprehensive support system, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, dedicated travel coordinators, onboarding support, access to clinical resources, and ready access to clinical leadership for consultation. The arrangement is structured to provide predictable hours and a steady rhythm of work, with guaranteed 40 hours per week, and a weekly pay range of $1,916 to $1,999, depending on site needs and credentialing. Start date is 04/06/2026, with a duration described as weeks, offering potential extensions based on performance, staffing needs, and patient demand.
