Occupational Therapist – Outpatient Orthopedic / Hand Therapy

Location: Lakeland, FL

Posted by: The therapist-first team at Comprehensive Therapy Consultants

Full Time

 We’re looking for an Occupational Therapist who knows their way around outpatient adult orthopedics, particularly hand therapy, and can bring both skill and heart to the table (or treatment table, to be specific).

This role is in Lakeland, FL, a hidden gem nestled between Tampa and Orlando, where the sunshine is generous, and the vibe is just right for therapists who want meaningful work without the big city burnout.

Who This Role Is For:

This isn’t just about checking boxes, but if you’ve got the following, we’re definitely interested:

• You’re a licensed Occupational Therapist (or license-eligible in Florida)

• New grad? Cool. If you’ve got 3–6 months of outpatient adult ortho/hand therapy fieldwork, we’d love to chat.

• Experienced OT? Even better. We’re looking for 1–3 years of adult hand therapy experience.

• Splinting/orthotic fabrication? Yes please—you should be comfortable and efficient with it.

• CHT (Certified Hand Therapist) is preferred, but not a deal-breaker. If you’re working toward it, we’ll cheer you on.

Benefits:* Competitive salary and benefits package: 401(k), PTO, Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, and Disability.* Opportunities for professional development and continuing education.* Supportive and collaborative work environment.* Realistic scheduling and productivity goals that allow for the high quality of care and delivery of services.* Career growth and advancement.* 8 paid holidays a year in addition to your regular Paid Time Off (PTO)!* Opportunity to work with some of the best surgeons in the country.

Why Lakeland?

Think charming lakes, swan-filled parks, walkable downtown with craft coffee shops, and a thriving arts scene—all without losing that relaxed, Florida pace. You’re just 45 minutes from Tampa and an hour from Orlando, which means you’re never far from a beach or a rollercoaster (choose your adventure).

Lakeland is a perfect spot for relocating therapists looking for their a permanent landing pad or locals ready for a new opportunity in a supportive clinic with great people.
