Practice for this role

About the role

Core responsibilities involve performing comprehensive Occupational Therapy evaluations, interpreting results, and developing individualized treatment plans addressing daily living activities, functional skills, and cognitive function. Clinicians will deliver evidence-based interventions to promote independence, maintain thorough documentation, and educate patients and families on home programs.

Take your Occupational Therapy expertise to the next phase with a travel assignment as an Occupational Therapist in Grand Junction, Colorado.

This opportunity is designed for professionals who are passionate about helping individuals reclaim independence and meaningful daily living.

As you assess clients, design and implement evidence-based, client-centered interventions, and monitor progress across inpatient, outpatient, or skilled nursing environments, you’ll work alongside physicians, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and case managers to optimize functional outcomes.

You’ll guide patients through activities that restore self-care, home management, and community participation, empowering them to return to work, school, or leisure with confidence.

This role offers variety, autonomy, and the satisfaction of making a tangible difference in lives while you explore Colorado’s vibrant communities and, through travel, other regions across the United States.

Picture the moment a patient demonstrates improved dressing skills, safe mobility, or renewed participation in a cherished hobby—your expertise makes that possible.

Separately, Colorado’s beauty enhances this professional journey. Grand Junction sits near the Colorado National Monument and the Grand Mesa, offering stunning scenery and easy access to outdoor recreation. The four-season climate supports a healthy work-life balance, with nearby hiking, river trails, vineyards, and cultural events enriching your time off. For those who crave broader horizons, this travel assignment can lead to experiences in additional U.S. locations through our network, giving you the chance to broaden your clinical perspective while enjoying a supported, structured travel experience.

Location Benefits

Working in Grand Junction provides a collaborative care environment with a focus on patient-centered outcomes. You’ll contribute to a diverse rehabilitation team in a community that values evidence-based practice and compassionate care. The locale supports work-life balance, a reasonable cost of living, and access to high-quality rehab facilities. As a traveling clinician, you’ll benefit from robust, 24/7 support from our dedicated team, ensuring smooth transitions between assignments and responsive help whenever you need it. Housing assistance is included to minimize relocation stress, and there are extension opportunities that allow you to continue contributing to patient care beyond the initial contract if both you and the site agree. Additionally, you’ll gain exposure to various practice settings, payors, and patient populations across Colorado and beyond, further enriching your clinical repertoire and professional network.

Role Specifics and Benefits

  • Core responsibilities include performing comprehensive OT evaluations, interpreting results, and developing individualized treatment plans that address activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, fine motor and sensory integration, cognitive function, and upper-extremity function. You’ll deliver evidence-based interventions to promote independence in self-care, home management, work tasks, and community participation, with clear, measurable goals and periodic reassessment.
  • Maintain thorough documentation, communicate progress with the care team, educate patients and families on home programs and safety, and participate in discharge planning and referrals to community resources.
  • This role offers pathways for professional growth within the OT specialty, with opportunities to deepen expertise across pediatrics, geriatrics, neurology, and adaptive equipment, all through cross-site collaboration and hands-on practice.
  • Competitive benefits are included, such as a bonus program, housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities to continue your impact beyond the initial contract.
  • You’ll have 24/7 support from our traveling clinician team, including on-call assistance to address scheduling changes and to ensure smooth transitions as you move between assignments.
  • The environment emphasizes evidence-based practice, patient dignity, and collaborative problem-solving, backed by mentorship, resources, and autonomy that support high-quality care.
