Home Health Occupational Therapist (OT)

Per Diem | San Francisco or San Mateo County — Dedicated Territory Assigned

Where great OTs come to do their best work.

At Health Link Home Health & Hospice, we believe great patient care starts with supporting the clinicians who deliver it. For over 20 years, we've served the greater Bay Area with a focus on clinical quality, strong systems, and a collaborative culture.

We are hiring Occupational Therapists for both our San Francisco and Peninsula teams. You will be assigned to one dedicated territory — SF County or San Mateo County — so you can build familiarity with your patients and your area without being stretched across both.

Why OTs Choose Health Link

• Dedicated Territory: Your caseload stays within a manageable radius in either SF or the Peninsula — no crossing bridges or unpredictable commutes. SF patients are spread across neighborhoods like the Sunset, Richmond, and Mission; Peninsula patients run from Daly City down through Redwood City.
• SF Rideshare Support: If you take the SF territory, company-provided rideshare credits (Uber/Lyft) help cover travel to and from patient visits so you can focus on care, not logistics.
• AI-Assisted Documentation: We use AI-assisted charting so you spend less time on notes and more time with patients.
• Clinical Support: You are never alone. Our experienced case managers and clinical team are available in real-time to assist with complex situations or patient coordination.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $125,000 – $150,000 per year (based on experience)
• Performance Bonus: Up to 25% of base salary tied to quality metrics and clinical outcomes
• Total Earning Potential: $156,250 – $187,500 per year
• Health: Medical, dental, vision, life, and pet insurance
• Retirement: 401(k) with employer matching
• Perks: Paid time off, vehicle reimbursement options, and company-provided devices (iPad)

Your Role

• Provide skilled occupational therapy services focused on ADLs, adaptive equipment, and functional independence
• Develop, implement, and manage individualized plans of care based on physician orders
• Report changes in patient condition and collaborate with physicians, case managers, and the Director of Nursing
• Maintain accurate, timely clinical records using AI-supported documentation tools

Requirements

• Current, active California Occupational Therapist license (required)
• Minimum of 1 year of home health experience strongly preferred
• Valid California driver's license
• Strong organizational skills, clinical judgment, and a compassionate communication style
