School Occupational Therapist (OT)

How much you work is up to you:

No minimum caseload and no exclusivity

No cap on hours from us — it comes down to how many cases you take on

Most cases run during the school day in Manhattan schools, some after school, and a few on weekends

What is open varies through the year. We recruit year-round and tell you what is open when you apply.

What you'll do

Plan and deliver occupational therapy aligned to each student's IEP or IESP goals

Support each student's participation in school and daily activities

Keep session notes and complete required documentation

Complete progress reports as required

Communicate with the school, the family and the student's team

Attend IEP meetings for the students you work with

How cases work

Before you accept a case you get the details: the school, the grade, the schedule, the group size and the hourly rate. You decide whether to take it.

Pay

Occupational therapy cases are one-to-one, at $75/hour.

You submit your sessions at the end of each month and are paid by direct deposit, generally within about a week. Payment is for sessions delivered.

What you need

NYS license as an Occupational Therapist

Availability to work in Manhattan

You cannot have been employed by the NYC Department of Education within the past year. If you have, a special approval is required — tell us and we will take you through it.
