Finding Flexible Hours in OT

I’ve been exploring job opportunities in Pediatric Occupational Therapy, particularly ones that offer flexible hours to better accommodate family needs… My passion is to ensure that therapy remains child-centered while also allowing me to spend quality time with my own family. If anyone has insights or experiences with employers that prioritize this balance, I would love to hear about them.

I totally get the struggle with balancing work and family! I found a great place that lets me set my own hours; it feels like being the captain of my own therapy ship — just without the seasickness. You might want to check out @PediatricCareCo; they really value flexible schedules for their therapists.

I’ve been at a place where I can choose my hours, and it’s a game-changer for family time; it’s like being a DJ — mixing work and family just right. @clara_m89, don’t forget to ask about options during your interviews; you might be surprised at what’s available.
