Job Description Job Description Embark on a transformative journey as an Occupational Therapist in South Carolina, Cheraw, where your expertise will illuminate daily life for patients across hospital, rehab, and outpatient environments. This is a meaningful travel opportunity that blends professional growth with the joy of discovering a new community. You’ll design and implement patient-centered treatment plans that restore independence in activities of daily living, leisure, and work roles, while collaborating closely with physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists. Your steady hands, clinical judgment, and compassionate approach will help clients regain autonomy after injury, illness, or surgery, and you’ll witness the tangible impact of your interventions in milestones that matter. Beyond the patient rooms, you’ll experience the beauty and charm of the Palmetto State, from Cheraw’s welcoming streets to state parks and rivers that invite relaxation and exploration. South Carolina offers a diverse tapestry of landscapes—historic towns, coastal escapes accessible for weekend getaways, and abundant parks that invite outdoor adventures. Cheraw itself is a friendly hub with a strong sense of community, where festivals and local arts flourish amid tree-lined neighborhoods and easy access to larger cities for occasional excursions. This assignment starts on 01/20/2026, is structured for a defined period with guaranteed hours, and provides a competitive compensation package designed to honor your professional contributions and your need for stability while traveling.

For those who relish travel, this role also opens doors to opportunities across the United States through our nationwide network, giving you the flexibility to broaden your professional horizons while maintaining a core base of support. The South Carolina experience is enriched by nearby natural beauty—state parks, winding rivers, and scenic drives—creating a balanced rhythm between impactful clinical days and restful weekends. And with our housing assistance and weekly pay, you’ll feel supported from day one, enabling you to focus on delivering exceptional care without logistics distractions. Role Specifics and Benefits: In this Occupational Therapist position, you’ll conduct comprehensive assessments to determine cognitive, motor, sensory, and functional needs, develop personalized treatment plans, and implement evidence-based interventions that promote independence in activities of daily living, upper-extremity function, fine motor skills, and coordination. You’ll address cognitive strategies, perceptual supports, and adaptive equipment training, leveraging therapeutic activities to engage patients across the continuum of care. Documentation and outcome tracking are essential components, ensuring clear communication with the interdisciplinary team and transparent progress reporting to patients and families. You’ll educate caregivers on home programs, safety strategies, and activity modification to extend treatment gains after discharge.

The package includes a highly competitive weekly rate of $2,086-$2,152, with guaranteed hours at 40 per week, and a completion bonus option for successful assignment completion. In addition, you’ll receive housing assistance or a housing stipend, a dedicated traveler liaison for onboarding and day-to-day needs, and potential extension opportunities to continue your journey with our client network. The position also features 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring rapid responses to scheduling changes, clinical questions, or urgent needs on-site. You’ll work within a supportive framework that prioritizes safety, ethical practice, and clinician well-being, promoting autonomy while offering collaborative resources and clinical leadership as you navigate complex cases.
