NOW HIRING

Eagle River, Alaska

It’s More Than Speech offers Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Educational Services using a family-centered, team-based approach. Our focus is on achieving functional outcomes that support both our clients and their families.

At It’s More Than Speech, we’ve created a supportive work environment and flexible schedules that empower our team members to feel successful while delivering exceptional services to families. The owner, who is also a full-time therapist, ensures that no staff member is asked to take on tasks or schedules that she wouldn’t work herself.


We prioritize spending time with families both in the therapy room and after sessions, emphasizing parent training to help generalize skills outside of therapy. We structure schedules so therapists have time to accomplish this, as well as to complete notes, prepare for clients, and maintain high-quality communication with families. Many of our team members enjoy working four 10-hour days, which allows for after-school therapy sessions and time for office support.


Caseloads and Flexibility:

Our goal for Occupational Therapy is to maintain a minimum of 28 clients per week, typically in 60-minute sessions unless otherwise recommended. As the evaluating therapist, you have the autonomy to determine what is most appropriate for each individual—you make the recommendations, not administration.
 

Compensation and Growth:

Salaries are based on the 28-treatment-hour minimum, which allows for 12 hours of documentation, planning, and a weekly staff meeting. For therapists seeking additional opportunities, you can increase your salary by letting administration know you’d like a fuller schedule. Additional sessions are paid biweekly on a per-session basis.

 

Occupational Therapist Job Responsibilities:

  • Conduct evaluations tailored to the patient’s diagnosis.

  • Develop and implement individualized treatment plans to meet client needs.

  • Deliver well-planned therapy sessions with thorough documentation that provides a clear picture of the skilled services provided.

  • Complete treatment session documentation within 3 days and evaluation write-ups within 1 week, managing this independently.

  • Perform re-evaluations and adjust goals based on the patient’s progress.

  • Work primarily within the clinic, but be willing to provide home visits, community-based sessions, and teletherapy when appropriate and needed.

  • Educate and support clients and their families with strategies to enhance outcomes and independence.

  • Exhibit excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with clients, families, healthcare professionals, and staff, ensuring a team-based approach and continuity of care.

 

Qualifications:

  • Active Alaska Occupational Therapist License.

  • Degree from an accredited Occupational Therapy program.

  • Valid driver’s license.

  • Ability to pass a background check.
     

Employee Benefits and Perks:

Continuing Education Support:  Annual continuing education funds provided, as well as coverage for national certification and licensing costs.

Retirement Plan: Employer-paid SEP IRA contributions ranging from 0-25%, depending on the overall success of the company. Contributions require no vesting.

Medical Benefits: Medical insurance costs are covered by IMTS.

Paid Time Off (PTO): Accrued based on hours worked, typically equating to 2 weeks for full-time employees.

Personal Wellness Days: 3 additional days accrued based on hours worked, to be used for illness, medical appointments, care giving, or mental health.

Flexible Work Environment: Enjoy a supportive and flexible schedule tailored to balance work and personal priorities.

Professional Growth: Opportunities for continued professional development and advancement within the company.

Salary Range:

$87,000 - $95,000 per year, depending on experience.
