Trade the Traffic for the Vineyards

Are you tired of the big city hustle, endless traffic, and high cost of living? It’s time for a breath of fresh air. Nestled in the heart of Arizona’s stunning high desert, Cottonwood and the Verde Valley offer the ultimate lifestyle upgrade.

Imagine living in a community surrounded by a rapidly emerging wine culture, local vineyards, and limitless outdoor adventures. Plus, you’re just 20 minutes away from the world-famous red rocks of Sedona , giving you instant access to world-class hiking, mountain biking, and breathtaking beauty right in your backyard.

To help you trade smog for sunshine, we are offering a comprehensive relocation assistance package to make your transition to the countryside smooth and stress-free.

The Best of Both Worlds: Outpatient Clinic & School Settings

Founded in 2011, Verde Valley Occupational Therapy is a thriving, collaborative practice of three dedicated OTRs. Our vision is to provide best-practice services that promote functional development skills in children of all abilities, while empowering their families, caregivers, and teachers.

We are seeking a passionate therapist to step into a dynamic role that bridges two rewarding environments:

• Our Outpatient Clinic: Work with toddlers to teens in a collaborative environment featuring a large, fully equipped sensory room designed to spark progress and play.

• Local School Settings: Partner with two small, close-knit local schools, allowing you to make a direct impact on students' academic success and daily routines.

Design Your Ideal Day: We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all schedule. At our practice, you have an excellent opportunity to fine-tune your caseload, balancing your time between the clinic and schools in a way that aligns with your professional interests.

What We Offer

We value our therapists and believe that a supportive environment and a true work-life balance are the keys to a long, fulfilling career.

• Compensation: Competitive pay range, commensurate with your experience.

• Flexibility: Flexible work hours to fit your lifestyle.

• Time Off: Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) so you actually have time to explore your new home.

• Financial Security: IRA retirement plan with an employer match.

• Health & Wellness: Health insurance stipend.

• Professional Growth: Continuing education reimbursement to expand your pediatric skill set.

• On-the-Road Support: Mileage and drive time are fully reimbursed.

Qualifications

• Valid Arizona Occupational Therapist (OTR) license (or eligibility to obtain).

• A genuine passion for pediatric therapy (toddlers to teens).

• Excellent communication skills for collaborating with parents, clinic staff, and school educators.

• New graduates with strong pediatric clinical rotations are encouraged to apply!
