About this opportunity
WelbeHealth lists this Occupational Therapist opportunity in newark, New Jersey. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
At WelbeHealth, each participant of our program is guided by our interdisciplinary team (IDT) - composed of clinical and non-clinical members who work cohesively to provide quality patient-centered care.
The Occupational Therapist coordinates and provides restorative and rehabilitative occupational therapy services, working closely with the PACE Physician, rehabilitation staff, and other IDT members to maximize participant independence and safety, as well as enhance performance of ADLs.
This role is different because Occupational Therapists at WelbeHealth:
Lower patient volumes - no more seeing 3-4 patients an hour
Form long-term relationships with participants rather than short-term rehab stints
Collaborate with other therapists, providers, and disciplines
Have work/life balance - no after hours of documentation
We care about our team members. That's why we offer: Medical insurance coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
Work/life balance - We mean it! 17 days of personal time off (PTO), 12 holidays observed annually, and 6 sick days
401K savings + match
Comprehensive compensation package including base pay and bonus
Unlimited CEUs through MedBridge
And additional benefits!
On the day-to-day, you will: Conduct Occupational Therapy assessments in our facility and occasionally in the home to define participant care needs, preferences, and goals
Actively participate in IDT meetings to develop participant care plans
Deliver and document interventions as agreed upon in participant care plans
Provide active and passive exercise, muscle re-education, gait, and functional training of ADLs
Work with Therapy Assistants, providing training, instruction, and guidance needed to implement Functional Maintenance Programs (FMP)
Job requirements include: New Jersey Registered or AOTA Accredited Occupational Therapist Program with a Bachelor's Degree or Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy.
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Occupational Therapy from an institution acceptable to the Department.
Minimum of six months of supervised Occupational Therapy experience satisfactory to the New Jersey State Board for Occupational Therapy. Graduates of New Jersey State registered, or AOTA-accredited programs meet this requirement.
Valid New Jersey Occupational Therapy License, or proof of license eligibility
Must obtain CPR and First Aid certification within 180 days of hire and maintain certification thereafter; CPR and First Aid certification upon hire preferred
We are seeking Occupational Therapists that ideally have outpatient, acute, inpatient, or skilled nursing experience. If you're ready to join a holistic care team that values both its patients and its providers, we'd love to hear from you!
Compensation consists of base salary plus bonus. WelbeHealth offers a competitive total rewards package that includes a 401(k) match, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and a broad range of additional benefits. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience and relevant qualifications.
