Occupational Therapist - Part-time - Clinic-based

Job description

Compensation: $55–$60 per billable hour · Job Type: Part-time, hourly · Work Setting: In-person, clinic Location: Split between Southlake, TX and Keller, TX

Let's be real: not all therapy companies are created equal. Some places give OTs a caseload and a treatment room and call it support.

At Gracent Pediatric Therapy, you get something different: a true interdisciplinary environment where collaboration isn't just encouraged—it's built into how we care for kids. The SLP down the hall knows your goals. The BCBA is eager to problem-solve with you. Together, we create treatment plans that look at the whole child, not just one piece of their development.

And the work you do every day matters. Whether you're helping a child tolerate new foods, develop self-care skills, improve emotional regulation, or gain the confidence to participate more fully in daily life, you're creating meaningful changes that impact families far beyond the therapy room.

We're the kind of company where:

• You're a clinician, not a cog. You carry out thoughtful, individualized OT plans, and your observations actually shape them.
• True interdisciplinary care is the norm — OTs, SLPs, and BCBAs working the same kids, often co-treating, so care reflects the whole child.
• You'll feel good wearing the swag, because it represents a place that backs its clinicians with real resources and a play-based, purpose-built space.
• Flexible scheduling that's actually flexible. Full-time, part-time, reduced schedule — we work with what fits your life. Doctor's appointment? Don't take PTO, just work around it. No one here is missing their kid's school events, their own appointments, or a life outside of work.
• Growth isn't a buzzword, it's a path. Our Clinical Ladder Program maps real advancement, and new grads get extra mentorship and onboarding to land well.

What we hear from clinicians who join us is the same whether they're a year out of school or fifteen: "This feels closer to the role I originally wanted." That's what happens when your work is trusted, and the people around you have your back.

Who will love this role:

• A sensory detective: You read a child's sensory world like a map and know which input will unlock a hard moment.
• A fine-motor coach: Pencil grips, scissor skills, that first independent shoe-tie, the small wins are your favorite kind.
• A daily-living champion: You light up helping a kid master the everyday things, dressing, mealtime, self-regulation — that change a family's whole day.
• A co-treat believer: You don't just tolerate working with SLPs and BCBAs, you actively want the insights only cross-discipline care surfaces.
• A family translator: You turn OT concepts into simple, doable guidance parents can actually use at home.
• A little bit playful: You know therapy works best when it's fun, and you're not afraid to get on the floor, use silly voices, or celebrate tiny wins like they're championship moments.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Evaluate, develop, and implement individualized treatment plans that help children build meaningful skills and greater independence.
• Assess progress, analyze outcomes, and adjust treatment plans to ensure continued growth and success.
• Build kids' independence in daily activities, fine motor, self-care, self-regulation, and school-readiness skills.
• Co-treat and coordinate with SLPs and BCBAs on shared kids — real teamwork, not the occasional meeting.
• Keep documentation accurate and on time.
• Partner with families so progress carries over at home.

What you'll work with:

• Pediatric OT tools — sensory-integration equipment, fine-motor and handwriting programs, ADL / self-care goals, and play-based materials
• Co-treat structures with SLP and ABA
• A purpose-built, sensory-considerate pediatric clinic space

What you bring:

• A Master's or Doctoral degree in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program.
• Current NBCOT certification and a Texas Occupational Therapy license in good standing.
• 1–2 years in a clinical setting, pediatric experience preferred.
• Strong evaluation, treatment planning, and clinical reasoning skills.
• Strong communication and people skills — you'll work closely with both the therapy team and families.
• A genuine commitment to growing your clinical skills.

What it pays. What it includes.

• $50–$55 per billable hour, based on experience.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with company match (up to 4%).
• Paid time off and genuinely flexible scheduling for full-time employees.
• A Clinical Ladder Program with defined advancement, plus extra support and onboarding for new grads and early-career clinicians.
• Teladoc subscription from day one, for full- and part-time employees.
• Monthly social events and a culture of real collaboration — plus committees like Experience, DEI, and Brand Ambassadors where you can help shape it.

Pressure test us. 

We know clinical mentorship, real work-life balance, a manageable day, and a clear path to grow are what you'll actually decide on. If anything in this post sounds too good — or doesn't match what you're hearing elsewhere — ask us in the interview. We're genuinely open to talking it through.

Joining a team is about more than the role — it's the people, the support, and the culture. Our interview process is built so you'll see exactly who we are: you'll connect with multiple leaders, tour the center, and meet the team you could soon be working with. We can't wait to meet you.
