Occupational Therapist

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Martin South Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. This 100-bed hospital provides top-quality patient care to the communities in and around Martin County. Here, you will work alongside passionate physicians, nurses, and other caregivers in a family-oriented, supportive environment.    

Occupational Therapists help patients regain their health and independence by focusing on upper body strength, fine and gross motor coordination and activities of daily living (ADLs) like dressing, eating and bathing. They also provide education and support for patients and their families, including home safety recommendations. In this role, you will be a part of the Rehab Team at Martin South Hospital but also float to Martin North and Tradition, as needed. PRN therapists may transition to benefitted part-time or full-time positions as they become available. Once in those positions, there are paths toward clinical leadership or specialization. We have many education opportunities offered for professional and career development - both hard and soft skills. We also offer mentorship through our preceptors as well as the Cleveland Clinic mentorship program.
