About the Position
Therapy Career Solutions is seeking an exceptional, dependable, energetic, and highly organized Pediatric Teletherapy Treatment Support Specialist to join our growing team.
This position will work directly alongside a licensed Occupational Therapist to support the delivery of virtual occupational therapy services to children in school-based settings.
We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with children, learns quickly, is comfortable with technology, takes direction well, and can eventually become highly independent within an established system.
This is not simply an administrative or front-desk position. The person selected will be actively involved in the day-to-day operation of our virtual therapy caseload. You will help prepare treatment activities, organize therapy materials, manage technology, assist with student engagement during virtual sessions, maintain treatment-related records and schedules, and help ensure that each therapy day runs smoothly and efficiently.
The Occupational Therapist will remain responsible for clinical decision-making, evaluations, plans of care, skilled occupational therapy services, and all duties requiring professional licensure.
We are willing to train the right person.
The ideal candidate may come from a healthcare, pediatric, educational, therapy, behavioral health, special education, CNA, medical assistant, patient-care, childcare, or similar background.
What matters most to us is finding someone who is reliable, intelligent, coachable, organized, comfortable with children, comfortable with technology, and able to consistently follow through.
