Travel Occupational Therapist Job

Step into a dynamic Travel Occupational Therapist role anchored in the welcoming community of Hondo, Texas, with exciting opportunities to serve diverse populations across Texas and beyond. In this assignment, you’ll use your expertise to help individuals reclaim independence in daily activities, participate meaningfully in work and school, and re-engage with the activities they love. As an OT, your comprehensive evaluations, thoughtful goal setting, and evidence-based interventions will guide patients through cognitive, perceptual, motor, and sensory challenges. You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to design personalized treatment plans, implement adaptive equipment and assistive technologies, and coordinate discharge planning that ensures seamless transitions to home, community, or outpatient settings. Your impact will extend beyond hands-on therapy; you’ll mentor families and caregivers, advocate for clients’ needs, and contribute to a culture of patient-centered excellence. The Texas landscape—where vast skies meet rolling hills, rivers wind through historic towns, and vibrant urban centers stand just a short drive away—offers a backdrop that is as inspiring as it is diverse, from the Hill Country’s scenic routes to the enduring charm of local communities near Hondo. This environment provides not only professional fulfillment but moments of personal renewal as you explore the state’s natural beauty and cultural richness during well-earned downtime.

Location Benefits: Working in Hondo places you in a community that blends warmth and accessibility with the opportunity to explore broader Texas treasures. You’ll enjoy a manageable cost of living, a supportive local healthcare network, and proximity to San Antonio for urban amenities, cultural events, and day-trip adventures. For those drawn to travel, there’s also the prospect of serving in various locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical exposure and enriching your professional perspective. Our program offers housing assistance and dedicated relocation support to ease your transition, plus the comfort of 24/7 support from a responsive travel team as you move between sites. The arrangement is designed to maximize your flexibility while ensuring you have the resources you need to focus on client care, professional growth, and quality outcomes. While you’re here, you’ll experience Texas hospitality, community clinics that emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, and opportunities to participate in continuing education that enhances your OT practice across pediatrics, adults, and aging-in-place scenarios. The combination of meaningful patient contacts, diverse settings, and an atmosphere of appreciation for clinicians’ expertise makes this assignment a meaningful and enriching next chapter in your career.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Travel Occupational Therapist, your core responsibilities will include comprehensive OT assessments, development of individualized treatment plans, and implementation of therapeutic activities aimed at improving self-care, functional mobility, upper extremity function, cognition, and environmental modification. You’ll conduct re-evaluations, discharge planning, and home modifications in collaboration with families and caregivers. You’ll have the chance to grow within the specialty by expanding competence in neuro-rehab, pediatrics, geriatrics, or assistive technology, supported by our structured onboarding, mentorship, and access to evidence-based resources. Compensation is competitive, with a weekly pay range of $2,189-$2,291, reflecting your expertise and commitment. The contract is measured in weeks, with extension opportunities available based on performance, clinic needs, and patient volume. While there is no guaranteed hourly commitment, you’ll gain the flexibility to match your schedule with clinical demand, while our team coordinates assignments and logistics. In addition to a fulfilling caseload, you’ll receive bonus considerations, housing assistance, and a clear path to contract extensions. Full administrative and clinical support is available 24/7 as you travel with the company, including travel coordination, onboarding guidance, credentialing assistance, and access to a dedicated support line for any urgent needs. Start Date is 12/22/2025, with assignments designed to maximize your impact while providing a sustainable work-life rhythm.

Company Values: Our partner organization is dedicated to empowering its OT staff by fostering a culture of professional autonomy coupled with strong collaboration. You’ll be part of a values-driven environment that prioritizes patient-centered care, transparency, and continuous learning. The company invests in career advancement opportunities, recognizes clinical excellence, and cultivates a supportive, collegial atmosphere where your ideas and professional growth are valued. You’ll find mentorship programs, access to specialty trainings, and opportunities to contribute to program development, quality improvement, and evidence-based practice. A sense of community extends beyond the clinic walls, as the company supports initiatives that strengthen the well-being of clinicians, patients, and families alike.
