School Occupational Therapist | Hyattsville, Maryland

Step into a rewarding opportunity supporting students as an OT or COTA on a flexible contract basis with options for both full-time and part-time schedules. This dynamic role is located in a school environment near Hyattsville, MD, where you’ll collaborate with educators and students to facilitate growth and functional independence.

Your primary focus will be helping with make-up sessions rather than managing a dedicated caseload. This unique setting allows you to engage with a diverse student population, providing push-in support during engaging Art and Life Skills classes. For those preferring a part-time schedule, working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday still offers a robust 30-hour workweek. Full-time candidates benefit from varied responsibilities, including dedicated time for documentation, meetings, and professional catch-up on Wednesday afternoons following student half-days.

What we’re seeking:

• Licensed Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) or Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA)
• Previous experience in school-based occupational therapy is preferred, but not required
• Positive, adaptable approach with strong interpersonal skills
• Willingness to work as part of a multidisciplinary team
• Commitment to supporting student participation and engagement in classroom activities

Role highlights:

• Focused on providing make-up therapy sessions—no overwhelming caseload management
• Push-in group facilitation during Art and Life Skills, fostering creativity and independence
• Participate in a supportive school community with year-round operations
• Structured, consistent schedule with dedicated time for non-student duties on Wednesdays (full-time)
• Onsite interviews allow you to experience the school’s vibrant community before making your decision
• Initial 3-month contract, with a pathway for consideration for a permanent position

If you’re passionate about empowering students and ready to make a positive difference in a supportive school setting, we invite you to apply. Experience the impact you can have—connect with us to take the next step in your career!
