The Occupational Therapist II conducts evaluations on referred patients and implements comprehensive treatment programs, including discharge planning and patient/family education. This role involves documenting evaluation results and participating actively as a member of both self-directed departmental and interdisciplinary patient care teams.
This position offers the opportunity to practice in a quiet, rural community with the benefit of being part of a larger university health system—providing both a close-knit team environment and access to broader resources and support.
Our clinic treats a wide variety of orthopedic and neurologic diagnoses, with the potential to expand into pediatric populations for clinicians interested in developing that area of practice. This variety allows for meaningful, well-rounded clinical work and continued professional growth.
We are located within driving distance of Metro Richmond and Raleigh, with easy access to both the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic coast, making weekend travel simple and enjoyable.

We also support continuing education and advanced certifications, encouraging clinicians to grow and specialize over time.
