About this job

- Opportunity for advancement

We’re seeking a compassionate and skilled School-Based Pediatric Occupational Therapist to provide direct therapy, consultation, and evaluation services in public and private schools throughout NYC, including D75 program. You’ll be part of a supportive multidisciplinary team and have access to ongoing professional development and on-the-job mentorship.
What makes This Role Special?
In this school-based position, we encourage and train our therapists to think outside the box — to go beyond traditional school-based therapy by bringing the creativity and quality of private practice into the educational environment. You’ll work in schools, but won’t be limited by the typical “school therapy” mindset. This role is ideal for someone who’s passionate about helping kids thrive through movement, play, and functional skill-building — not just handwriting drills. If you're driven to make a difference using dynamic, child-centered approaches, you’ll feel right at home here.

- Creative, motivated, disciplined, and confident working independently
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Benefits:
- Flexible schedule
- Growth and advancement opportunities
- Ongoing professional development
- On-the-job mentorship
- Collaborative community focused on child-centered care
