Job Code: AK1017

Schedule: PRN

Shift: Days

PRN Occupational Therapist (OT) 

Join Cleveland Clinic Akron General where we have been providing world-class care to the community for over 100 years. At Akron General, you will work and learn from some of the best caregivers, provide and receive multitudes of support and appreciation, and create the steppingstones toward a rewarding career with one of the world's most respected healthcare organizations.   

Occupational Therapists provide many wide-ranging services to diverse populations of patients who have been referred by a physician due to a problem with their inability to perform normal activities of daily living (ADLs). This may be due to a physical injury, emotional or developmental problems, a stroke, elective surgery, disease processes, aging or birth defects. Diagnoses often referred to occupational therapy include autism, head trauma, hand and upper extremity injuries/conditions, stroke (CVA), total hip/knee replacements, cerebral palsy, sensory integration deficits, depression, cancer, arthritis, and more. The goal of OT is to maximize the ability of each individual to perform self-care, work, and leisure activities to the best of their physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities. Ultimately, the goal is also to help people re-learn skills needed to live independent, productive, and satisfying lives.  

A caregiver in this position must have flexibility with work assignments and working weekends and holidays – this is a PRN position so no set hours or schedule. Hours normally between 8:00am – 4:30pm.  

A caregiver who excels in this role will:  

  • Evaluate and treat occupational therapy patients.  

  • Communicate to referral sources about patients’ initial condition, progress and discharge disposition.  

  • Complete patient related and non-patient related documentation in a timely manner. 

  • Delegate and supervise the patient care of COTA's, support staff and students. 

  • Market services to patients, referral sources and the public. 

  • Form and maintain positive interpersonal relationships with patients and caregivers. 

  • Effectively organize work assignments and time without compromising quality patient care while achieving maximum productivity and efficiency. 

  • Achieve personal and professional development through participation in continuing education, in-services, orientation programs and student programs. 

  • Maintain an orderly and safe work environment.  

  • Keep treatment areas and department clean and orderly. 

  • Complete mandatory education and training in order to maintain organization and department specific competencies, requirements, certification and/or licensure. 

Minimum qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:  

  • Bachelor’s degree in occupational therapy.  

  • Current license to practice as an Occupational Therapist in the State of Ohio.  

  • Current CPR certification.  

Preferred qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include: 

  • Occupational therapy experience.  

  • Flexibility with work assignments and ability to work weekends and holidays.
