This is a great opportunity for an OT who enjoys clinical variety, autonomy, and working across multiple levels of care. You'll treat patients across Inpatient Acute Care, Swing Bed/Skilled Rehabilitation, and Outpatient Therapy, depending on the hospital's needs.
Rather than spending your entire assignment in one setting, you'll work with a varied patient population while becoming an important part of a smaller interdisciplinary rehabilitation team.

- Patient and caregiver education
- Discharge planning
- Collaborative interdisciplinary environment
What You'll Do
The Occupational Therapist will evaluate and treat patients throughout the hospital's Inpatient, Swing Bed, and Outpatient programs.
Responsibilities may include evaluations and reassessments, developing individualized plans of care, ADL retraining, upper-extremity strengthening, coordination and ROM activities, functional mobility and transfer training, adaptive equipment recommendations, safety education, and patient and caregiver training.
You'll collaborate closely with PT, PTA, SLP, nursing, physicians, case management, and other members of the interdisciplinary team to help patients achieve their highest possible level of independence.
Qualifications
- Graduate of an accredited Occupational Therapy program
- Current Louisiana OT license or ability to obtain prior to start
- Current BLS certification
- Strong evaluation and treatment skills

Franklin is located in South Louisiana's Cajun Country, offering a completely different travel experience from a typical big-city assignment.
The area provides access to Louisiana's bayous, fishing, boating, historic communities, and some seriously good Cajun food. Lafayette is roughly an hour away, giving you access to a larger city for restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and weekend activities.
For an OT who wants a varied hospital caseload combined with a unique South Louisiana experience, Franklin is worth considering.
