$5,000 Sign on Bonus
The Chateau at Brooklyn Rehabilitation & Nursing Center in Brooklyn, NY is 189-bed rehabilitation center offering comprehensive short- and long-term rehabilitation programs, including PT, OT, ST, and respiratory services, a spacious rehabilitation gym, free on-site parking, and convenient access to public transportation, with the B36 bus stopping right in front and the B43 and B3 buses just one block away.. Hiring for this role is done on site by our Director of Rehab and facility leadership, not by an outside recruiter. You will interview with the people you will actually work with.
We are part of a growing network of 35 skilled nursing facilities, which means real clinical support behind you and real places to go from here.
Why This OT Role Is Different
Interdisciplinary by design. OT, PT, SLP, nursing team, dietitian, respiratory, social work, and MDS work from the same plan and the same table. You will not be treating in a silo.
A training environment. New graduates are welcome. You get structured mentorship, hands on orientation, and ongoing clinical education from clinicians who want to teach.
Leadership that is present. Our Director of Rehab and facility administration are invested in where you want to be in five years and will talk with you about it regularly, not only once a year at review time.
Growth you can actually reach. A 35 facility network that is still expanding means specialty program development, mentorship roles, and leadership tracks, including:
Dementia clinical focus champions
Respiratory champions and step down
Adaptive equipment liaison specialists
Assistant director and lead or senior therapist ladder programs
Work life balance is an operating priority. Tell us the schedule you need, and we will work with you to build it. Our residents come first, and happy therapists equal happy patients.
What You Will Do
Evaluate referred residents to determine medical status, functional ability, limitations, precautions, and rehabilitation potential
Build individualized treatment plans with measurable, achievable goals based on each resident’s capacity and tolerance, under physician direction
Deliver skilled occupational therapy interventions focused on ADL performance, safety, and return to prior level of function

Educate residents, families, and caregivers on therapy techniques, safety, and carryover strategies
Collaborate with PT, SLP, nursing, dietitians, and social work to deliver patient centered care and support discharge readiness
Recommend adaptive equipment, durable medical equipment, and environmental modifications
Supervise Occupational Therapy Assistants and students in accordance with the state practice act
What You Will Need
Degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program
Valid Occupational Therapist license and registration in the state of practice, or license eligible
Ability to supervise Occupational Therapy Assistants in accordance with the state practice act
Comfort with clinical documentation including evaluations, weekly progress notes, recertifications, and discharge summaries
