    Birch Tree Therapies is seeking an Occupational Therapist to join our therapist-centered team for the 2026–2027 school year. We are a therapist-owned and operated company, built by school-based clinicians who understand what this job actually looks like day-to-day. That means no unrealistic expectations, no impossible caseloads, and no feeling like you’re on your own. For this role, we are looking for an OT with school-based experience who is excited to continue learning and growing alongside a supportive team. You'll be stepping into an established school caseload and helping provide additional support where it's needed most. We currently have 2 full days available at one school, with opportunities for additional days at other BTT schools expected to open up soon.

    Conduct evaluations, re-evaluations, and screenings

    Develop and implement meaningful, functional IEP goals

    Collaborate closely with teachers, families, and school teams

    Support regulation, participation, and independence in natural classroom settings

    Confident clinical skills and strong clinical reasoning

    Strong communication and collaboration skills

    Committed to neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed care

    Why Birch Tree Therapies

    We are a small, tight-knit team that truly prioritizes therapist well-being. You’ll be working with clinicians who get it, who are available to problem-solve with you, and who care deeply about both their students and their team. We believe great therapy happens when therapists feel supported, respected, and empowered, and that’s exactly what we aim to provide. If you’re an experienced OT looking for a part-time school-based role where you can do meaningful work, be part of a supportive team, and continue to grow as a clinician, we’d love to connect!
