Job description

Regions Hospital has an opportunity for an Occupational Therapist to join our rehabilitation team. Come join us as a Partner for Good and help us make an impact on the care and experience that our patients and families receive every day.
This 1.0 OT position will work in a variety of areas of Regions Hospital acute care units, based on volume and/or area of highest need. This includes all areas of our Level 1 Trauma hospital (ED/boarding, observation units, medical and neuro ICUs, med surg, neuro and trauma units as well as inpatient rehab). Eventual specialization/ability to work as a dedicated OT to one of these areas is likely. Preferred candidates will have a minimum of 1 year experience in relevant settings or newer grad with hospital-based fieldwork level II experience. Seeking candidates experienced with evaluation and treatment knowledge in the areas of stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, and complex medical/trauma. We work collaboratively as a treatment team, so strong problem-solving skills, ability to work in a fast pace/complex setting, and strong verbal and written communication skills are needed.
This is a 1.0 FTE position, working Monday through Friday, with an every-fourth-weekend requirement and a shared OT department holiday rotation.
• Inpatient Rehab shifts 7:00am-3:30pm
• Acute shifts 7:30-4:00pm

This position may have a mix of these start/end times
Annual education money is provided to all FTE staff along with a Medbridge subscription to support creation of home education programs for patients and to provide a portal for high-quality continuing education. We also intermittently offer department or org-level professional development to help foster continuous learning and care improvement.
We offer two weeks of onboarding into the role with additional specialty training (e.g., ICU) based on experience/need. We have a collaborative OT team that offers ongoing informal mentoring and support. We have approximately 17 OTs working each day at Regions (M-F).
