Occupational Therapist School Setting in Richmond, TX

Job description

Embark on a meaningful contract opportunity as a full-time Occupational Therapist supporting students in schools across the southwest Houston area. This role offers the chance to work with learners ranging in age from 3 to 21, providing essential evaluations, attending ARDs, and delivering direct and consultative OT services within a thoughtfully assigned zone (6-7 schools, commutable based on ZIP code). The district office is available as a home base before traveling to supported campuses, ensuring you’re always connected and prepared.

Your caseload will consist of approximately 70 students, with a primary focus on 30-40 for direct intervention and the remaining through consultation—rotating schedules mean flexibility in student interaction. The age group diversity offers a rewarding avenue for experienced professionals, especially those passionate about pediatric and school-based occupational therapy.

Candidates must meet these requirements:

• Valid and active Texas OT licensure
• Experience with pediatric or school-based caseloads
• Open to highly qualified COTAs with substantial school or pediatric experience
• Ability to drive between assigned schools within a specific zone
• Clear state fingerprinting/background check (district may use prints already on file)
• Proficiency or willingness to learn SHARES school health and Onward software; Excel for IEP logs
• Full-time availability (37.5 hours/week) only—no part-time options
• Never previously employed by this district or terminated from any school district (affidavit required)

You’ll provide treatment (no delegated COTAs) in a supportive professional environment while maintaining strong documentation skills. Typical hours are 8-4 (occasional 7:30-3:30).
