What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Occupational Therapy Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Occupational Therapy Manager, you need a solid background in occupational therapy practice, a current OT license, and experience in clinical supervision or management. Familiarity with healthcare management systems, documentation platforms, and relevant certifications like Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) or leadership training are often required.

These competencies are crucial for ensuring regulatory compliance, staff development, and the delivery of effective therapy services in a healthcare setting.

What are Occupational Therapy Managers?

Occupational Therapy Managers are healthcare professionals who oversee the operations and staff of occupational therapy departments or programs. Their responsibilities include supervising occupational therapists and assistants, managing budgets, coordinating therapy services, and ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations. They also develop policies, evaluate program effectiveness, and may participate in hiring or training staff. Occupational Therapy Managers play a key role in optimizing patient care and supporting the professional growth of their teams.

What are the main challenges Occupational Therapy Managers face when balancing administrative duties with clinical responsibilities?

Occupational Therapy Managers often juggle the dual demands of overseeing administrative tasks, such as scheduling, budgeting, and staff management, while also maintaining their clinical expertise and ensuring high-quality patient care. This balance can be challenging, as managers must allocate time efficiently, delegate appropriately, and stay updated on best clinical practices. Effective communication and organizational skills are essential to manage these competing priorities and support both the therapy team and patients. Many managers find success by setting clear goals, fostering strong team collaboration, and leveraging available resources to streamline workflows.

Job description

Occupational Therapy ManagerLead with Purpose. Empower Healing. Transform Lives.

Location: Sioux Falls, SD

Are you an experienced Occupational Therapist who is passionate about leadership, innovation, and helping others reclaim their independence?

At Call to Freedom, you'll have the opportunity to do more than provide therapy—you'll lead a dynamic occupational therapy program that empowers survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation to heal, rebuild, and thrive.

This is more than a management position. It's an opportunity to create meaningful change every day while leading an exceptional team dedicated to restoring hope through trauma-informed care.

What You'll Do

As the Occupational Therapy Manager, you will:

  • Lead, mentor, and support a team of occupational therapy professionals.
  • Develop and expand innovative occupational therapy programming for survivors.
  • Provide direct occupational therapy services when needed.
  • Collaborate with case managers, counselors, advocates, healthcare providers, and community partners to ensure holistic, client-centered care.
  • Ensure services reflect evidence-based and trauma-informed best practices.
  • Monitor program outcomes and identify opportunities for growth and improvement.
  • Foster a positive, collaborative team culture while supporting staff development.
  • Help shape the future of occupational therapy services at Call to Freedom.
What We're Looking For

We're seeking a compassionate leader who combines clinical excellence with a heart for service.

Qualifications

  • Master's degree in Occupational Therapy.
  • Current Occupational Therapy license in South Dakota (or ability to obtain licensure).
  • Minimum of 1 - 2 years clinical experience.
  • Previous leadership or supervisory experience preferred.
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.
  • Passion for serving vulnerable populations through a trauma-informed approach.
  • Ability to think creatively, solve problems, and inspire others.
Why This Role Is Different

This isn't your typical occupational therapy management position.

At Call to Freedom, you'll work with survivors who are rebuilding their lives after trauma. Occupational therapy becomes a powerful pathway to healing—helping individuals establish healthy routines, develop life skills, increase independence, build confidence, and achieve meaningful goals.

You'll have the unique opportunity to:

  • Lead one of the region's most innovative occupational therapy programs serving survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
  • Balance leadership with meaningful client interaction.
  • Collaborate with an incredible multidisciplinary team that believes healing happens together.
  • Help shape the future of trauma-informed occupational therapy.
  • Experience the profound reward of seeing lives transformed through meaningful occupation.

If you're looking for a career with purpose—not just another job—this is your opportunity.

Why You'll Love Working Here

At Call to Freedom, we believe caring for our employees is essential to caring for our clients. We foster a supportive, collaborative culture where innovation is encouraged, professional growth is valued, and every team member plays a vital role in our mission.

Benefits Include
  • Competitive salary
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 403(b) retirement plan with employer match
  • Generous paid time off
  • Paid holidays
  • Licensure and certification support
  • A collaborative, mission-driven workplace where your work truly matters
