About this role

BAYADA Home Health Care is seeking a per diem occupational therapist to deliver direct patient care in clients' homes across six counties in the Joplin area. You'll conduct functional assessments, design individualized intervention plans, evaluate home environments for safety and accessibility, and educate patients and families on rehabilitation and independent living. The role emphasizes flexibility—per diem scheduling allows you to balance work with other commitments—while providing 24/7 clinical support from an interdisciplinary team and hands-on training supplemented by virtual learning.

To succeed in this position, you'll need a current Missouri OT license, at least one year of recent occupational therapy experience, and a degree from an AMA/AOTA-accredited program. While prior home health experience is preferred, the company will train you if you're new to the setting. You should be comfortable working independently, managing your own schedule across assigned territories, and documenting care using electronic medical records on a tablet. Strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills are essential for working effectively with patients, families, and the broader care team.

The role includes mileage reimbursement, weekly pay with direct deposit, medical/dental/vision/life insurance, paid time off, a 401(k) with company match, and tuition reimbursement for continued education. This is a good fit if you want meaningful one-on-one clinical work in home settings with genuine schedule flexibility and the support of an established, 50-year-old organization.
