Occupational Therapist- $80 - $90/visit- Flexible Scheduling

Join the BrightStar Care team today and harness your power to change a life.

Are you looking for additional income in a career where you can make a difference in someone's life? Do you want to work for a home care agency on the leading edge of healthcare? We are proud to offer you the opportunity to pursue your passion as an Occupational Therapist, partnering on our Hospital in Your Home Program with a prestigious local hospital in our community and our Workman's Compensation medical team!

The Hospital in Your Home experience is designed to provide hospital-level care in a patient’s home environment. This allows for deeper engagement between the clinical team and the patients, a consistent care team through phases of care, addresses goals of care and underlying social determinants of health care and designed and centered around the needs and wants of the patient. This is an experience we strongly believe in, and one that aligns with our own mission, vision, and values. While being admitted to their home, a patient may expect visits from Registered Nurses, Caregivers, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Dietary Specialists, Meal delivery services, Mental Health Specialists, Phlebotomists, Sonographers, Paramedics, Nurse Practitioners, and other healthcare providers. We are looking for a team of Occupational Therapists (OT) who equally support this experience and are enthusiastic about replicating the capabilities of a brick-and-mortar hospital with in-home services. Our Occupational Therapy team also assists in evaluating and developing care plans for our patients who have experienced an injury while on the job. Our therapy team follows these patients through the phases of care and updates goals and therapy plans/treatments as needed until goals have been accomplished. WE ARE NOT MEDICARE OR MEDICAID CERTIFIED - you will not use Oasis! If it's medically necessary for your patient to be seen 3-5x weekly, recommend it! We will work to approve the number of visits through their insurance provider. 

Our therapists are typically working 5 - 15 visits per week! To learn more about the scheduling process, please call our office at 816-552-5600 and speak with Jenna (Branch Manager).
