Pediatric Occupational
Therapist

About the Role

Bring therapy where life actually happens

At Brain Waves, we believe the most meaningful therapy happens in the spaces kids already know — their living rooms, playgrounds, and neighborhoods. As a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, you will work with children ages 0–10, delivering evidence-based services in their natural environments while partnering closely with families to build real, lasting progress.

This is a role for someone who wants more than a clinic. You will have the flexibility to shape your schedule, the mentorship to deepen your clinical skills, and a team that genuinely cares about the families it serves.

What You'll Do

Day-to-day responsibilities

• Conduct evaluations, re-assessments, and develop individualized, family-centered treatment goals
• Deliver evidence-based OT services with a focus on sensory integration and functional participation
• Coach caregivers through education and consultation to support carry-over at home
• Provide services across SLO County — in-home, community, and occasional telehealth visits
• Complete timely clinical documentation and progress notes
• Participate in regular supervision and mentorship meetings
• Maintain your California OT license, BLS/CPR certification, and continuing education requirements

Qualifications

What we're looking for

• Master's or Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from an accredited program
• Active California OT license (or eligibility to obtain one)
• BLS/CPR certification — current or able to obtain prior to start
• Pediatric experience preferred — new graduates with a passion for working with children are encouraged to apply
• COTA applicants will be considered based on experience
• Reliable transportation to travel throughout SLO County
