Key responsibilities

  • Provide individualized occupational therapy services through engaging, play-based sessions.

  • Complete evaluations, develop, and document individualized treatment plans and daily treatment notes.

  • Collaborate with families, schools, physicians, and other providers to support children's therapy goals.

Job description

At Therapy Lab, we know occupational therapy is about so much more than milestones and checklists.


It’s about celebrating the child who finally joins a group game.

The one who zips their jacket for the first time.

The child who learns that big feelings don’t have to feel so scary anymore.


It’s about creating a space where children feel safe, families feel supported, and therapists genuinely love coming to work.


As our clinic continues to grow, we’re looking for another occupational therapist who shares those values and is excited to help us build something special.
Who We

s

trong> Are

Therapy Lab is a relationship-first pediatric occupational therapy practice serving children from birth through young adulthood. We believe the best therapy happens through play, meaningful connection, collaboration with families, and seeing every child through a strengths-based lens.


We’re a small team that loves to dream big. Around here you’ll find obstacle courses as soon as you walk in the door, messy sensory play, creative group programs, plenty of laughter, and teammates who are always willing to brainstorm, jump in to help, or celebrate each other’s wins.


We’re passionate about creating an environment where children, families, and therapists can thrive.


What You’ll Do

You’ll provide individualized occupational therapy services while helping families feel confident, supported, and empowered throughout their journey.


Responsibilities include:

* Providing engaging, play-based occupational therapy sessions

* Completing evaluations and developing individualized treatment plans

* Documenting evaluations and daily treatment notes

* Collaborating with families, schools, physicians, and other providers

* Creating meaningful treatment activities that build on each child’s strengths and interests

* Supporting emotional regulation, sensory processing, executive functioning, feeding, fine motor development, social participation, self-care, and more

* Participating in groups, workshops, community events, and seasonal programs

* Helping Therapy Lab continue growing through creativity, collaboration, and fresh ideas


You Might Be Our Person If…

* You believe connection comes before expectations.

* You naturally sit on the floor instead of the chair.

* You’d rather create a pirate treasure hunt than hand out another worksheet.

* You celebrate tiny victories because you know they’re often the biggest ones.

* You believe every child deserves to feel capable, understood, and successful.

* You enjoy collaborating, sharing ideas, and cheering on your teammates.

* You’re the therapist who leaves sessions thinking, “That was so much fun.”

* You’re always learning and aren’t afraid to try something new.

* You appreciate a workplace where laughter is part of the job description.

* You love helping build something bigger than yourself.

* Bonus points if you’re a social media maven and love capturing those magical therapy moments that deserve to be celebrated.


What We’re Looking For

Required

* Current North Carolina Occupational Therapy license (or eligible)

* NBCOT certification

* CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain)

* Excellent communication and documentation skills


Preferred

* Pediatric experience

* Experience with sensory processing, feeding, emotional regulation, executive functioning, reflex integration

* Interest in group programming, community outreach, or developing specialty services


What We Offer

* Flexible part-time scheduling with a need for Friday availability and occasional weekend hours, with opportunities to grow your caseload

* Competitive hourly compensation

* Paid documentation time

* Mentorship and collaboration

* Freedom to be creative and bring your ideas to life

* Opportunities to develop programs you’re passionate about

* A beautiful clinic designed for movement, play, and connection

* A supportive, family-oriented team that truly enjoys working together


Why Therapy Lab?

We don’t expect perfection.


We value kindness, curiosity, creativity, initiative, and a willingness to keep learning.


We’re looking for someone who wants to build genuine relationships with children, support families through the hard moments, celebrate the little wins, and help shape the future of Therapy Lab.


If that sounds like the kind of place where you’d feel at home, we’d love to hear from you!
