Job Description:
-Occupational Therapist, Inpatient (Acute Care) -Are you an
experienced Occupational Therapist? Are you looking for a new
opportunity? At VHC Health, our staff exceeds expectations by
performing at the top-level of the profession. "Occupational
therapy is defined as the therapeutic use of everyday life
activities -(occupations) with individuals or groups for the
purpose of enhancing or enabling participation in roles, habits,
and routines in home, school, workplace, community, and other
settings. Occupational therapy practitioners use their knowledge of
the transactional relationship among the person, his or her
engagement in valuable occupations, and the context to design
occupation-based intervention plans that facilitate change or
growth in client factors (body functions, body structures, values,
beliefs, and spirituality) and skills (motor, process, and social
interaction) needed for successful participation. Occupational
therapy practitioners are concerned with the end result of
participation and thus enable engagement through adaptations -and
modifications to the environment or objects within the environment
when needed. Occupational therapy services are provided for
habitation, rehabilitation, and promotion of health and wellness
for clients with disability- and non-disability- related needs.
These services include acquisition and preservation of occupational
identity for those who have or are at risk for developing an
illness, injury, disease, disorder, condition, impairment,
disability, activity limitation, or participation restriction.
