Occupational Therapy Aide (Owensboro, KY) Job at TheraTree Pediatric Therapy Services in Owensboro

What You’ll Do: (and Love Every Second Of It) Be the glue that holds therapy sessions together – assist Occupational Therapists & OT Assistants directly in sessions by setting up activities, guiding children through exercises, and reinforcing therapeutic techniques with energy and encouragement. Engage with patients – help children and youth complete therapy tasks, play‑based interventions and therapeutic activities to promote fine and gross motor skills, sensory integration, and cognitive development; support children in activities of daily living (ADL) such as dressing, grooming, and feeding. Uplift & motivate – cheer on, encourage, and support our kids through their therapeutic journeys. Your enthusiasm empowers children to reach milestones they never thought possible. Be an extra set of eyes, ears, and hands – observe patient progress, help collect data, and communicate with therapists about needs or adjustments. Set the stage for success – set up and break down sessions like a therapy ninja: swings, obstacle courses, sensory bins, and therapy tools, making sure we have what we need when we need it. Keep our therapy spaces cleaner than a NASA lab. Welcome every family – work at the front desk to greet patients with warmth and efficiency, check them in, and provide excellent customer service. Be a scheduling wizard – assist with appointment scheduling, rescheduling, and managing cancellations to ensure smooth clinic operations. Answer calls like a pro – help parents with questions, provide updates, and support the front desk in keeping everything on track. Support the entire team – jump in where needed, whether that means lending a hand to therapists, updating patient records, or ensuring the clinic stays organized and patient‑ready.

Requirements: High school diploma or equivalent; additional coursework or experience in healthcare or child development is a plus.

Who You Are: Believe in potential – obsessed with helping kids succeed. Have energy for days and love being part of a fast‑paced, no‑two‑days‑are‑the‑same environment. Have eagle‑eye attention to detail because the little things make a big difference. Organized and proactive, anticipating needs before they arise. Can juggle tasks like a circus pro while keeping a smile on your face. Part of a team because big victories happen when people work together. Eager to learn – this is more than a job; it's a chance to build a career in pediatric therapy. Aren’t afraid to get messy, get creative, and get things done.
