Pediatric Occupational Therapist – Early Intervention

Location: Chicago, IL (60645 & Surrounding Areas)

Type: Full-Time (Monday – Friday), Salary, W2

Ready to make a massive impact on tiny lives?

Welcome to Allied Therapy Partners! We are a therapist-owned and operated private rehab practice, which means we actually understand what you do and what you need to thrive.

We are searching for an energetic, caring, and highly motivated Occupational Therapist to join our Early Intervention team, providing life-changing services to children (ages birth to 3) in their natural environments—their homes and communities!

Why you'll love working with us:

• A commute that makes sense: We build your caseload around your home neighborhood to keep you focused on your patients and minimize drive times.
• True independence: Say goodbye to micromanagement! If you are accountable and an excellent time-manager, you will absolutely thrive here.
• Growth & Support: We offer plenty of room for professional advancement. Have your Illinois Early Intervention credential? Great! If not, don't worry—we will help guide you through the entire credentialing process. (New graduates are highly encouraged to apply!)

What You’ll Be Doing:

Your car is your office, and the community is your clinic! In this highly rewarding role, you will:

• Play with Purpose: Evaluate our tiny patients using clinical judgment and standardized testing, interpret the results, and determine appropriate OT diagnoses.
• Create the Roadmap: Develop and carry out customized plans of care, write functional goals, and use targeted OT interventions.
• Empower Families: Develop home exercise programs and coach parents/caregivers so the progress continues long after your session ends.
• Collaborate: Communicate seamlessly with families, therapists, caregivers, and medical professionals to ensure wraparound care for each child (and refer out when necessary).
• Deliver Care: Conduct engaging OT sessions face-to-face or via video in home and community settings.
• Lead the Way: Share your knowledge by supervising students or occupational therapist assistants.
• Keep it on Track: Maintain your own schedule and stay on top of the necessary paperwork, including daily SOAP notes, evaluations, discharge documents, and Illinois Early Intervention reports.

What You Bring to the Table:

• A Heart for Kids: Minimum of 6 months of pediatric experience required.
• The Credentials: Valid Illinois Occupational Therapy license (preferred) and a valid Illinois Early Intervention credential (preferred—but again, we'll help you get this!).
• The Logistics: Permission to work in the United States, a valid Illinois driver’s license, and a reliable vehicle for daily local travel between appointments.
• Health & Safety: Valid and up-to-date CPR certification, a negative TB test, and proof of required vaccinations (COVID-19, TDAP, Influenza).
