StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 8 D Pay Rate: $2448.00 - $2522.00

This home health Occupational Therapist position is based in Somersworth, New Hampshire, a welcoming small city in the Seacoast region that blends historic New England charm with convenient modern amenities. Somersworth’s location offers the best of both worlds: a close-knit community with quiet residential neighborhoods and easy access to vibrant nearby hubs such as Dover, Rochester, and Portsmouth. You will be just a short drive from the Atlantic coastline, scenic rivers, and lakes, with opportunities for hiking, biking, kayaking, apple picking at local orchards, and exploring the White Mountains for year-round outdoor recreation. Somersworth is known for its historic mill buildings, walkable downtown, and friendly, community-focused atmosphere. The surrounding region offers local markets, seasonal festivals, farm stands, and a growing restaurant and arts scene. Families and professionals appreciate the area’s quality schools, manageable traffic, and sense of safety, while travelers and new residents benefit from the region’s accessibility and variety of things to do. With Boston and Portland within driving distance, you have access to major airports, specialty care centers, and cultural attractions while enjoying the relaxed pace of life in coastal New Hampshire. As a home health Occupational Therapist in this role, you will provide one-on-one, patient-centered care in the comfort of patients’ homes. Your typical day may include performing comprehensive functional and home safety assessments, developing individualized treatment plans, and guiding patients through therapeutic activities designed to improve independence with daily tasks. You will help patients with bathing and dressing strategies, kitchen and household tasks, mobility around the home, and use of adaptive equipment and durable medical equipment. A significant part of your work will involve educating patients and caregivers on safe techniques, energy conservation, and modifications that support aging in place and recovery after illness or surgery. You will collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary home health team that may include nursing, physical therapy, speech therapy, social work, and home health aides. Together, you support patients recovering from hospitalization, managing chronic conditions, or transitioning from facility-based care back to the community. Patient acuity and complexity can vary, and caseloads typically focus on adults and older adults, with visit volumes tailored to regulatory standards and agency expectations. Patient ratios are structured around a manageable daily visit schedule to allow for thorough interventions and detailed documentation. In this position, you can expect a mix of scheduled home visits during daytime hours, with some flexibility in arranging your daily route across Somersworth and nearby towns. You will use an electronic medical record system and mobile documentation tools to complete evaluations, progress notes, and discharge summaries in a timely manner. The environment is well suited to clinicians who enjoy autonomy, problem-solving in real-world home settings, and forming meaningful relationships with patients and families over the course of care episodes. Working in Somersworth and the surrounding Seacoast region provides a strong professional foundation in home health practice. The area’s diverse patient population, range of medical conditions, and emphasis on community-based care offer excellent experience if you are looking to strengthen your skills in functional assessment, discharge planning, and independent living support. This is a role where you can see the tangible impact of your work every day, helping patients remain safely at home in a beautiful, resource-rich part of New England.
