Job DescriptionEmbark on a transformative travel Occupational Therapist role in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where your expertise can elevate daily living, independence, and participation in meaningful activities for clients across diverse communities. This is more than a assignment—it's a chance to shape outcomes, build lasting relationships, and learn from a network of clinicians who value innovation, empathy, and practical problem solving. Nestled in the high desert, Albuquerque combines a sunlit landscape with the rich culture of New Mexico, offering easy access to trails, historic Old Town, the Sandia Mountains, and a vibrant arts scene. Use this base to explore the state’s natural beauty and, when you’re ready, engage opportunities across the United States. Location Benefits: Albuquerque serves as a welcoming hub for healthcare professionals who appreciate balance and variety. You’ll enjoy a moderate climate, a growing healthcare community, and the chance to collaborate with premier rehabilitation teams. The assignment also provides the flexibility to work in multiple locations across the U.S., expanding your professional network and exposing you to a wide range of case mixes, facility models, and patient populations. From outpatient clinics to inpatient units and community settings, you’ll see how OT contributes to mobility, cognitive function, daily living skills, and social participation. The city’s affordable living, accessible amenities, and abundant outdoor escapes create an ideal backdrop for sustained impact and personal renewal between assignments. Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Travel Occupational Therapist, you’ll conduct comprehensive assessments, interpret findings, and design client-centered interventions that optimize function and independence. Core responsibilities include evaluating occupational performance, creating and implementing evidence-based treatment plans, fabricating and prescribing adaptive equipment, performing home safety assessments, and coordinating discharge planning with families, caregivers, and the broader care team. You’ll monitor progress, adjust targets, and document outcomes to keep care cohesive across settings. Collaboration is at the heart of this role: you’ll partner with physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, social workers, and case managers to ensure seamless care transitions and holistic rehabilitation. You’ll have the opportunity to deepen your expertise within your specialty, pursue specialty certifications, and expand your practice across pediatric, adult, or geriatric domains as case mix requires. Rewards include a competitive compensation package designed to recognize your expertise and commitment. Weekly pay between $1,644 and $1,708, with guaranteed hours at 36 per week, provide stable income as you navigate travel logistics. We support your success with a tangible bonus structure and generous housing assistance to ease relocation and temporary housing needs. In addition, there are extension opportunities that allow you to prolong your assignment if you enjoy the environment, the team, and the impact of your work. You’ll also receive dedicated support that travels with you: 24/7 assistance from a travel concierge and clinical liaison teams who ensure you’re never alone on the road, whether you’re navigating hospital policies, credentialing, or day-to-day practice questions. A focus on professional development means access to continuing education funds, practice resources, and mentorship from seasoned OT leaders who value your growth as much as patient outcomes. Company Values: Our organization is rooted in empowering staff to reach higher levels of clinical proficiency and career advancement while maintaining a caring, collaborative workplace culture. We honor autonomy and accountability, encourage innovation in therapy approaches, and cultivate a supportive environment where every clinician can share ideas, learn, and contribute to program development. We’re committed to equity, compassion, and excellence—ensuring that you feel respected, heard, and equipped to deliver outstanding care. The philosophy centers on balancing ambitious clinical goals with personal well-being, recognizing that thriving clinicians deliver stronger outcomes for clients and communities. Call to Action: If you’re ready to apply your OT expertise where it matters—from Albuquerque’s charming neighborhoods to dynamic healthcare networks across the country—this is your moment. Begin a journey that honors your skills, expands your scope, and aligns with your professional aspirations. The role starts the week of January 26, 2026, with a flexible duration of weeks to suit project needs, and a pathway to ongoing opportunities. Join a company that values your contribution, supports your development, and stands beside you as you grow. Note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary.
