Occupational Therapist (OT) - Per Diem, East Bay
Job Description
About the Company
\n
\n
At AlphaCare Home Health, we believe patients deserve more — more time, more communication, and more care that improves outcomes.
\n
\n
While many agencies use technology to increase visit volume, we use it to give clinicians more meaningful time with each patient. We are building a home health organization centered on clinical quality, strong patient relationships, multilingual community care, and reliable operational support for the clinicians delivering care every day.
\n
\n
About the Role
\n
\n
We are seeking a skilled and compassionate Occupational Therapist (OT) to join our team on a per diem basis, covering patients throughout Alameda County and the surrounding East Bay.
\n
\n
The ideal candidate is clinically strong, patient-centered, and committed to delivering thoughtful, responsive care in the home setting. As an AlphaCare OT, you will help patients regain independence, safety, and dignity at home, coordinating care with physicians, nurses, and the broader care team.
\n
\n
This role is a great fit for a clinician who wants flexible, high-paying per diem work without a fixed weekly schedule — whether you're building a caseload around other commitments or simply prefer to choose your own hours.
\n
\n
At AlphaCare, success is measured not only by compliance — but by patient outcomes, responsiveness, trust, and quality of care.
\n
\n
