Careers at Ocean Tide Therapy
We're building a practice grounded in compassion, curiosity, and clinical excellence. If you're passionate about occupational therapy and believe that every person deserves affirming, high-quality care — you might belong here.
Life at Ocean Tide
We believe that therapists who feel supported, valued, and inspired give the best care. That's not just a talking point — it shapes every decision we make.
You'll work with real people making real progress — children taking their first unassisted steps through a morning routine, adults reclaiming their independence. This work matters, and you'll feel it.
We offer competitive pay, productivity bonuses, and a transparent pay structure. You should never have to wonder whether your hard work is recognized.
Annual CE allowance, in-house trainings, mentorship opportunities, and support for specialty certifications including interoception, sensory integration, and more.
We protect your time and attention by maintaining manageable caseloads. We don't believe in burning out good therapists with impossible schedules.
We collaborate, celebrate each other's wins, and give honest, kind feedback. No silos, no cutthroat competition — just a team genuinely rooting for each other and for our clients.
We are neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ+ welcoming — not as policies, but as commitments that shape how we work with every client and every colleague.

Who Thrives Here
Technical skill matters — but so does who you are as a person and how you show up for clients and colleagues.
Active Florida OTR/L or COTA license, or active pursuit of licensure. New graduates are welcome to apply — we offer structured mentorship.
You see the whole person — not just a diagnosis. You bring warmth and genuine curiosity to every interaction, and you're committed to neurodiversity-affirming practice.
You give credit generously, ask for help when you need it, and contribute to a team culture that makes everyone better.
You're always learning — whether that's a new assessment tool, a clinical framework, or something a client teaches you on a Tuesday afternoon.
