Job Description:

Work where others vacation in this travel Occupational Therapist contract in beautiful Buena Vista, CO, just outside Salida. This rural clinic role is built for an OT who enjoys making a hands-on impact through evidence-based hand therapy and purposeful outpatient interventions. You’ll examine clients with functional limitations, design and modify therapeutic programs, and help improve everyday abilities across a range of needs and age groups. In addition to treatment, you’ll provide consultation and education, support prevention of setbacks, and maintain timely documentation and charges for services rendered.

This assignment stands out for its focus on hand therapy within an outpatient clinic setting—plus the chance to explore a scenic mountain community when you’re off the clock. If you have strong outpatient experience (minimum 2 years) and are ready to bring your OT scope to life in Colorado, you’ll fit right in.

• Hike at Mueller State Park
• Explore downtown Salida and local shops
• Soak in the hot springs at The Riverside Hot Springs
• Take a day trip to Great Sand Dunes National Park
