This is a unique opportunity to work in a positive, supportive team environment with a split schedule between our Paducah Clinic and Draffenville Clinic. If you’re passionate about helping patients reach their goals and enjoy being part of a collaborative team that values learning and growth, we’d love to hear from you!

• Evaluate patients’ ability to safely and effectively perform independent living skills.
• Develop individualized plans of care, including appropriate treatment types and frequency.
• Provide hands-on treatment and utilize appropriate therapeutic modalities.
• Complete thorough and accurate SOAP notes documenting each patient’s progress and status.
• Monitor patient progress and modify the plan of care as needed, seeking consultation when appropriate.
• Educate patients and their families or caregivers about diagnoses, deficits, treatment, and strategies for continued progress.
• Assist with patient discharge and transition from therapy services, including assessment of home and work environments and recommendations for return-to-work modifications when appropriate.
• Educate patients on the appropriate selection and use of adaptive equipment and available support programs.
• Oversee the care provided by Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants and therapy technicians in accordance with licensing laws, state regulations, and OT practice standards.
• Support and supervise OT and OTA students completing clinical rotations.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Occupational Therapy required upon hire.
• Previous experience is preferred but not required.
• Current Kentucky Occupational Therapist license required upon hire.
• Deep Physical Agent Modalities (DPAM) certification required, or willingness to obtain certification.
• A patient-centered approach and genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of those you serve.
• Strong critical-thinking and decision-making skills.
• Proactive and positive communication skills.
• A willingness to learn, grow, and continue developing your clinical skills.
• A team-oriented attitude and enthusiasm for working in a supportive, collaborative environment.

At PRO Physical Therapy, we value teamwork, professional growth, and providing exceptional patient care. If you’re looking for an opportunity where you can continue learning, work alongside a great team, and make a meaningful impact on your patients, we’d love to have you join us!
