Occupational Therapist – Pediatric Outpatient
1099 Contract Position with Guaranteed Pay for the First 90 Days While Building Your Caseload
Be your own boss and make your own schedule! Full caseload ready to be taken over from day one.
Choose between $50–$70 per hour or a percentage-based pay
Role Overview
A pediatric therapy clinic in Houston, Texas, is seeking a full-time Occupational Therapist to join its interdisciplinary team. This role will provide outpatient occupational therapy services to children primarily ages 2–8, with opportunities to work with a variety of diagnoses, including autism and sensory processing needs.
The clinic is looking for a therapist who enjoys hands-on, play-based treatment in an active therapy gym and is passionate about helping children develop functional skills. Pediatric outpatient experience and sensory integration training are preferred, though motivated new graduates who are eager to learn and grow with weekly mentorship will also be considered.
This is a fully in-clinic, 1099 independent contractor position with flexible scheduling and a collaborative team environment.
Benefits and Compensation
Compensation: Choose between $50–$70 per hour or a percentage-based payment arrangement.
Initial Earnings Support: $5,000 monthly minimum during the first three months while building a caseload.
Flexible Scheduling: Opportunity to build a schedule that fits your availability and preferences.
Clinical Mentorship: Weekly mentoring available for therapists seeking additional guidance and professional development.
Collaborative Environment: Work alongside occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists.
Summer Camp Opportunities: Optional participation in a three-week therapy camp in July, with additional hours paid for participation.
Established Clinic: Join a stable pediatric practice with an interdisciplinary team and supplied therapy equipment and testing materials.
This is a 1099 fee-for-service contractor position and does not include W-2 employee benefits or a stipend. Actual earnings depend on the selected compensation structure, hours worked, caseload, and insurance reimbursement.
Requirements
Licensed Occupational Therapist in Texas or eligible to obtain the required state licensure.
Experience in pediatric outpatient therapy preferred; new graduates with a strong interest in pediatrics will be considered.
Experience treating children with a variety of diagnoses, particularly autism and sensory processing needs, is preferred.
Sensory integration certification or specialized training is a plus but is not required.
Comfortable providing active, play-based treatment in a pediatric therapy gym.
Ability to manage consecutive appointments, generally lasting 53 minutes, and maintain timely clinical documentation to support insurance billing.
Must provide a personal laptop for documentation and clinic-related work.
Ability to work in person at the Houston clinic.
Interest in a full-time schedule, ideally approximately 35 hours per week, with a target caseload of more than 30 clients weekly.
What Makes This Role Stand Out
An opportunity to join an established, interdisciplinary pediatric therapy practice.
Flexibility to select a compensation structure and build a schedule aligned with your goals.
Support for new graduates through weekly mentorship and continued clinical development.
A hands-on treatment environment with equipment and testing materials provided.
An opportunity to make a meaningful impact on young children's development while working with a collaborative team.
