Pediatric Occupational Therapist - Evaluations and Treatment Planning

Benefits:

• Opportunity for advancement
• Training & development
• Bonus based on performance
• Competitive salary
• Flexible schedule

We are looking for a passionate and experienced Pediatric Occupational Therapist to join our team at Mighty Minds and Muscles Therapy & Coaching Services in a role centered on evaluations, treatment planning, and clinical supervision. If you love the diagnostic and clinical reasoning side of OT — building a comprehensive picture of a child's strengths and needs, and designing the roadmap for their care — this role was made for you.

What makes This Role Special?This is a clinic-based position with a priority focus on evaluations, treatment planning, and case supervision — and a schedule that's fully flexible to what works for you. Evaluations are scheduled during daytime hours (not after-school hours) and on Saturdays, for those who want it. From there, it's your choice: some therapists prefer to focus solely on evaluations, while others combine morning evaluations with afternoon treatment sessions or additional clinic/school hours. There's no fixed structure — you build the caseload that fits your life.

This flexibility makes it a great fit for a therapist who wants to avoid — or only occasionally take on — afternoon/after-school hours, including clinicians balancing caregiving responsibilities after school. As your involvement grows, there's also the opportunity to step into a mentorship role — supervising and monitoring cases handled by other therapists, and joining occasional treatment sessions for observation and support when needed.

Locations:

• Clinic-based work: Tribeca, Manhattan & Jersey City
• Can be combined with school-based caseloads (all 5 NYC boroughs) or home-based sessions (NYC & Jersey City, Hoboken) if additional hours are desired

Available Structure:

• Priority role: Evaluations, treatment planning, and case supervision
• Daytime availability for evaluations; Saturdays optional
• Optional combination with afternoon treatment, or evaluations only — you decide
• Fully flexible schedule
• Ideal for therapists seeking limited or no after-school/afternoon hours

Qualifications and requirements

• Master's or Doctorate in Occupational Therapy
• Active New York State OT License
• Strong pediatric evaluation experience (standardized assessment administration and interpretation, sensory integration, handwriting, self-regulation strategies)
• Experience with treatment plan development preferred
• Comfort mentoring or supervising other clinicians a plus
• Creative, motivated, disciplined, and confident working independently
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Benefits:

• Fully flexible, daytime-focused schedule
• Bonus incentive for exemplary evaluation reports
• Growth and advancement opportunities, including potential mentorship/supervisory role
• Ongoing professional development
• On-the-job mentorship
• Referral program
• AI-supported EMR system for documentation
