School Occupational Therapist | Forest Lake, Minnesota

Job Description

Job Description

Master's degree in Occupational Therapy, active Occupational Therapist license and 1+ year of Occupational Therapy experience required. Applicants who do not meet these qualifications will not be considered.

Step into a rewarding contract opportunity providing onsite occupational therapy services during Extended School Year (ESY) coverage in the Forest Lake area. In this flexible role, you'll support a caseload spanning from infants through age 3, partnering closely with families and fellow team members to deliver high-quality care and guidance throughout the summer. The work also involves supporting students aged 3-22 through indirect OT services, allowing for independent management of your check-ins and documentation.

Essential Qualifications:

• Active Minnesota Occupational Therapy license (must be included with resume for consideration)
• Previous experience in school-based or pediatric occupational therapy preferred
• Strong understanding of pediatric development and sensory-motor needs
• Comfortable making home or daycare visits for the Birth-3 caseload
• Adaptability in managing a non-routine, variable weekly schedule
• Excellent communication and documentation skills
• Reliable transportation for local home/daycare visits

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct monthly home and daycare visits for infants and toddlers as part of a collaborative early intervention team
• Provide indirect OT services for older students, coordinating check-ins and support based on caseload needs
• Communicate and collaborate with teachers, caregivers, and other service professionals
• Accurately maintain documentation, track progress, and update goals as needed
• Flexibly adjust visit times and hours per week depending on the evolving needs of families and students

You'll find the schedule generally consists of 3-5 hours per week for each caseload, but some weeks may vary—sometimes requiring up to 8 hours or as few as 2, depending on referrals and family schedules.

Bring your expertise and adaptability to make an impact during these important summer months. If you have a passion for pediatric and school-based OT and thrive in a flexible environment, submit your resume and MN OT license today to be considered!

Compensation for this position ranges from $35.53 to $53.78. Eligible candidates may also receive healthcare benefits, housing, and meals/incidentals. Full details of our healthcare benefits plan can be found here. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
