Occupational Therapy Aide

Pay ranges from $20-$22/hour, based on experience

At Country Meadows, our Occupational Therapy Aide plays a hands-on role in supporting residents' mobility, independence, and overall well-being through a structured restorative and rehabilitation-support program. We're looking for someone with a strong caregiving background-ideally in a personal care or senior living environment-who is comfortable working directly with residents to carry out restorative exercises, ambulation programs, and daily activity plans. This is a non-licensed position focused on compassionate, consistent resident support rather than clinical therapy, making it a great fit for experienced caregivers who are passionate about helping older adults thrive. This position is located at our Bethlehem campus.

• Be a personal cheerleader to rally residents in reaching their goals and supporting each milestone along the way.
• Encourage residents to participate in social programs and on- and off-campus lifestyle activities to promote their wellness.
• Build bonds with residents' families by sharing your expertise and educating them on their loved ones' goals and progress so everyone can support success.

Occupational Therapy Aide Responsibilities:

• Prior personal care and/or rehab experience.
• Minimum High School Diploma or GED.
• Ability to maintain a positive, therapeutic attitude toward residents, families, co-workers, etc.
• Communication skills that include careful listening, sensitivity to emotions attached to the message and thoughtful responses.
• Professional, flexible and positive attitude and the ability to change the course of activity with changing demands without experiencing undue stress or frustration.
