Travel Occupational Therapist Job

Embark on a transformative travel assignment as an Occupational Therapist in North Adams, Massachusetts, starting February 16, 2026. This is more than a job; it’s your opportunity to apply specialized OT expertise to help patients reclaim independence, return to meaningful daily activities, and build resilience in the face of injury or illness. You’ll impact a broad spectrum of populations across diverse clinical settings—from acute care to outpatient rehabilitation—crafting patient-centered interventions that restore function, improve mobility, and promote safety at home and in the community. As you guide clients toward greater autonomy, you’ll witness how small gains stack into lasting quality of life improvements. Nestled in the scenic Berkshires, North Adams offers a gateway to outdoor adventures and cultural riches, with Mount Greylock’s peaks just a short drive away, and world-class experiences at Mass MoCA and the Clark Art Institute. Massachusetts’ beauty isn’t limited to one corner of the state: from the verdant hills of the Berkshires to coastal towns and historic cityscapes, you’ll find inspirational landscapes and vibrant communities to explore during your downtime. This setting invites you to recharge in places where fall foliage paints the hills, winters invite cozy gatherings, and summers invite lake and shoreline escapes, all while advancing your professional mission.

Location Benefits: North Adams presents a distinctive blend of outdoor recreation, cultural richness, and a tight-knit, supportive clinical community. You’ll experience a region that values wellness, lifelong learning, and collaborative care, with opportunities to practice in multiple Massachusetts sites and even travel to other U.S. locations as your career evolves. Your schedule centers on 35 guaranteed hours per week, with weekly pay between $1,541 and $1,608, reflecting your experience and specialty. The start date is February 16, 2026, and assignments run in weeks with the possibility of extension, subject to facility needs and your professional goals. Beyond the base assignment, you’ll have the chance to enjoy Massachusetts’ renowned experiences—hiking in the Berkshires, savoring fresh seafood along the coast, exploring historic towns, and taking weekend trips to nearby cultural hubs—while maintaining a predictable routine that supports work-life balance and personal time.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As an Occupational Therapist, you’ll conduct comprehensive patient assessments, interpret functional limitations, and develop evidence-based treatment plans to improve fine motor skills, dexterity, cognitive engagement, and activities of daily living. You’ll implement targeted therapeutic activities in inpatient and outpatient settings, educate patients and families on adaptive equipment, and collaborate with physicians, nurses, and therapy colleagues to optimize discharge planning and continuity of care. This role offers robust professional growth: exposure to diverse case mixes, opportunities to refine evaluation techniques, documentation in electronic health records, and avenues to pursue specialty credentials or leadership roles as you extend your contract. We offer a competitive package that includes a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities to continue advancing in alignment with your evolving interests. A cornerstone of the program is comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from travel coordinators and clinical liaisons, ensuring you’re never navigating a shift alone. You’ll also have access to ongoing education credits, mentorship, and a network of OT peers across the region to share best practices and innovations in care.
