Job Description & Requirements
Occupational Therapist - Home Health - (OT - HH)
StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 8 D Pay Rate: $2345.00 - $2416.00

This 13-week Occupational Therapist home health assignment is based in Jefferson City, Missouri, the state’s capital and a welcoming community along the scenic Missouri River. Jefferson City offers a unique mix of historic charm and modern convenience, with an easygoing pace of life that makes it simple to balance a rewarding workday with enjoyable off-time. The city features a beautifully preserved downtown and the iconic Missouri State Capitol, where you’ll find stunning architecture, museums, and grounds that overlook the river. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the nearby Katy Trail for biking and walking, the Runge Conservation Nature Center for hiking and nature exploration, and Binder Lake for kayaking, fishing, and picnic spots. The area is known for its friendly neighborhoods, manageable traffic, and affordable cost of living, as well as a variety of local restaurants, coffee shops, and small businesses that give the city an inviting, community-focused feel. In this role, you will provide skilled Occupational Therapy services to adult and geriatric patients in their homes throughout Jefferson City and surrounding communities. Your typical day will include traveling between patient residences, completing comprehensive evaluations, and developing individualized treatment plans focused on maximizing safety, independence, and quality of life in the home environment. You will be responsible for interventions that may include ADL and IADL training, home safety and fall risk assessments, energy conservation strategies, caregiver education, adaptive equipment recommendations, and coordination of services with the broader care team. The schedule for this 13-week contract typically includes full-time daytime hours, with flexibility based on patient needs and agency scheduling practices. Productivity expectations are aligned with a home health model, where you can often anticipate seeing several patients per day, with visit volume tailored to allow for thorough assessments, meaningful treatment sessions, and timely documentation. You will document all care using an electronic medical record system and will be supported by clinical and office staff who help coordinate visits and ensure continuity of care. This assignment offers the opportunity to strengthen your skills in autonomous clinical decision-making while still being part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary team. You’ll work closely with nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists, and other home health professionals who share a commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care. The environment is ideal for Occupational Therapists who enjoy building strong therapeutic relationships, providing education directly in the home, and seeing the real-world impact of their interventions on daily function and safety. For those looking to build their resume, a home health role in a state capital city offers exposure to a wide range of diagnoses and care needs, including post-acute, chronic disease management, and complex medical cases. This 13-week contract can be a strong stepping stone toward future leadership roles, specialization in home and community-based practice, or continued travel assignments in diverse settings.
