Occupational Therapist — Houston, TX
About the Role
Our Houston OTs treat the whole person — physical recovery paired with cognitive, psychological, and environmental factors. You design individualized plans, perform home safety assessments, collaborate with our PTs, SLPs, and social workers, and document through our proprietary EMR. One-on-one patient time and no productivity caps.
Key Responsibilities
- Evaluate and treat patients in their homes across Harris and Fort Bend counties
- Design plans of care for ADL retraining, upper-extremity rehab, cognitive recovery, and home safety
- Support patients with emotional, psychological, and psychiatric disorders as part of a whole-person approach
- Conduct home safety assessments and recommend adaptive equipment
- Collaborate with our interdisciplinary team (PT, SLP, RN, CSW, RD) on shared patients
- Document visits in our proprietary EMR on the day of service
- Educate family caregivers on transfer technique, adaptive strategies, and routine-building
Requirements
- Active Texas Occupational Therapist license
- Current BLS/CPR certification
- Reliable transportation and valid Texas driver’s license with clean MVR
- Minimum 1 year clinical experience (home health, neuro, or hand preferred)
- Experience with cognitive rehab, psychiatric OT, or IDD populations a plus
- Bilingual Spanish valued
Why Universal Rehab in Houston
OT is our heritage. Our founder is an occupational therapist, and every clinical decision still runs through an OT lens — the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Our Houston OTs are supported by a full interdisciplinary team and a culture that treats occupational therapy as central, not adjunct.
What Occupational Therapy Looks Like in Houston
Houston's patient population is as varied as the city itself. In a single week, OT work here might include upper-extremity strengthening for a post-stroke patient in Kingwood, cognitive rehab for a TBI survivor in Montrose, ADL retraining for an aging-in-place client in Bellaire, and home modifications for an IDD client served through a group-home setting. Houston is also home to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, and the metro's combined hospital discharge volume drives a complex home-health caseload that would take years to encounter in a traditional clinic job. Psychiatric OT is also part of our scope — a growing area Claire has always championed, and one where home-based care changes outcomes.
Schedule, Pay, and Benefits
- Choose your caseload size and geographic coverage area
- Weekly direct-deposit payroll with transparent per-visit rates
- Proprietary EMR designed by clinicians, not billing teams
- Continuing-education support — we want you certified in the specialties you care about
- Active referral incentive program for clinicians on payroll
- 24/7 on-call clinical support
