What is occupational therapist shadowing?

Occupational Therapist shadowing is an observational experience where you follow and watch a licensed occupational therapist (OT) in a clinical or community setting. This allows you to gain insight into the daily responsibilities, patient interactions, and therapeutic techniques used in the field. Shadowing helps aspiring OTs understand the profession, make informed career decisions, and strengthen applications for occupational therapy programs. While shadowing does not involve hands-on patient care, it provides valuable exposure to the workplace environment and expectations.

What types of tasks and experiences can I expect while shadowing an occupational therapist?

As an occupational therapist shadow, you can expect to observe therapy sessions, assist with setting up equipment or materials, and learn about patient assessments and care plans under close supervision. You may also attend team meetings, participate in discussions about patient progress, and get an inside look at documentation and administrative responsibilities. While direct hands-on involvement is usually limited, you'll gain valuable insights into best practices, client interaction, and the day-to-day workflow of an occupational therapy practice. This experience can provide a strong foundation for pursuing further education or a career in occupational therapy.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in occupational therapist shadowing, and why are they important?

To thrive in Occupational Therapist Shadowing, you should have a foundational understanding of healthcare principles, strong observation skills, and a keen interest in occupational therapy. Familiarity with medical terminology, patient confidentiality standards (such as HIPAA), and basic office or clinical systems is beneficial. Strong interpersonal skills, professionalism, and a willingness to ask questions and learn from practicing therapists will set you apart. These qualities are essential for absorbing hands-on knowledge, understanding the daily realities of occupational therapy, and making a positive impression during your shadowing experience.

Job description

Occupational Therapist (OT) – Home Health | Long Branch, NJ | Part-Time | $55–$85/Visit

Are you a licensed Occupational Therapist looking for flexible, well-paying work—without the clinic politics, double-booking, or productivity pressure? Stern at Home Therapy is hiring a Part-Time Occupational Therapist to provide one-on-one care in patients' homes throughout Long Branch and the surrounding Monmouth County, NJ area.

About Stern at Home Therapy:
At Stern at Home Therapy, we believe clinicians provide the best care when they have the freedom to practice independently. Our therapists create their own schedules, treat one patient at a time, and are supported by a dedicated administrative team that handles scheduling and coordination.
Whether you're looking to supplement your current caseload or build a consistent part-time schedule, this position offers the flexibility to fit your lifestyle.

What You'll Do:
  • You'll evaluate and treat a primarily geriatric patient population in their homes throughout Long Branch and surrounding Monmouth County communities, developing individualized treatment plans while maintaining full clinical autonomy.
  • Our administrative team manages scheduling, patient coordination, and documentation support so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care.
  • Shadowing opportunities are available for therapists who are newer to home health or want to experience our model before getting started.
  • Our Stern Scheduling Assurance Plan helps keep your schedule consistent. If we're unable to replace a cancelled visit, you'll be paid for up to two cancellations per month.

Why Therapists Choose Stern:
  • Earn $60–$85 per visit.
  • Flexible part-time schedule—you choose your availability.
  • One-on-one patient care with no double-booking.
  • Full clinical autonomy.
  • Fast onboarding—many therapists begin seeing patients within two weeks.
  • Cancellation protection (up to two paid cancellations per month).
  • Dedicated administrative support.
  • Shadowing available.

Compensation:
  • W2 Part-Time.
  • $60–$65 per visit.
  • 1099 Part-Time.
  • $72–$85 per visit.
Part-Time Benefits (W2):
  • Medical stipend (up to $250/month).
  • 401(k) retirement plan.
  • Student loan repayment assistance ($125/month after one year).
  • CEU reimbursement ($250 annually).
  • Commuter stipend ($75–$125/month).
  • Quarterly wellness stipend ($125 per quarter after your second quarter).

Qualifications:
  • Active New Jersey Occupational Therapist license (required).
  • Reliable transportation (required).
  • Minimum one year of U.S. clinical experience preferred.
  • CPR certification preferred.
  • Home health experience is a plus but not required.
