Job Description
Outpatient Hand and Ortho Occupational Therapist - Per Diem (PRN)
NovaCare in Carroll County Maryland
NovaCare Rehabilitation in Carroll County is seeking local per diem (PRN) occupational therapists for our outpatient ortho, hand and industrial patients. Our Carroll County locations offering OT services include; Eldersburg, Westminster and Owings Mills Maryland. All locations have additional OTs and PTs on staff but an ideal OT has previous OP / hand therapy experience. A Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) is highly preferred. This is per diem (PRN) for as needed coverage. We do not have a set schedule but will look to discuss your availability for coverage across our Carroll County locations. We estimate 8-10 hours of coverage, on any given week, for increases in volume, extended vacation, sick or emergency needs within our current OT team. You must be comfortable as the only OT with physical therapists (PT) and support staff onsite.
We are unable to support new grads needing mentorship or steady hours. As we grow, we hope this expands into steady part time hours, but cannot guarantee steady hours at present.
Per diem employees DO have access to our online and in-person CEU courses but certifications are reserved for those treating 32 hours per day or more.
For details, contact our regional recruiter, Shanel!
