Rehab Director COTA

## Description

**Director of Rehabilitation – In-House**

*If you’re a strong clinician ready to lead and you want to do it in an environment that puts patients and people first — this role is intentionally different.*

We are an in-house, family-owned therapy organization — not a contract therapy company. Our Directors of Rehabilitation are clinical leaders first, supported by an organization that values outcomes over volume and invests in the teams they lead.

**Why DORs Choose Sprenger Therapy**

• In-house therapy model — your decisions serve your residents and your team, not a contract company’s margin
• Clinical leadership respected — you set the standard for care in your building
• Operational support provided — systems, resources, and leadership that back you up
• Stable, family-oriented culture — leadership knows who you are and invests in your success
• Growth within a 12-facility network — opportunity to influence therapy operations at the program level
• Care decisions guided by outcomes and ethics — not short-term volume targets

• Our therapy teams operate differently — and it shows in our retention and culture.
• **What You’ll Do**

• Lead and develop a multidisciplinary therapy team including PT, OT, SLP, and therapy assistants
• Oversee clinical quality, productivity, and compliance across your therapy department
• Manage caseload, scheduling, and staffing in coordination with building leadership
• Monitor and drive functional outcome performance including GG score tracking
• Collaborate with admissions, nursing, and interdisciplinary care teams to support census growth and care continuity
• Mentor clinical staff and foster a culture of excellence, autonomy, and patient-centered care
• Serve as the primary therapy liaison to building administration and corporate leadership

**What We’re Looking For**

• Active clinical license in good standing — PT, OTR, PTA, COTA, or SLP
• Clinical experience in a SNF setting — prior DOR experience a plus but not required
• Strong clinical foundation with the ability to lead, develop, and retain a therapy team
• Comfortable managing productivity, scheduling, and compliance alongside clinical responsibilities
• Commitment to outcomes-driven, ethics-led care
• A natural leader who builds culture, not just manages schedules

**Pay & Benefits**

• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Flexible scheduling
• Generous 401(k) with company match
• Continuing education units (CEUs) — available
• Paid time off and vacation pay
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid life insurance
• Tuition reimbursement
• Growth opportunities within a 12-facility network

**From Our Therapy Team**

*“I feel supported, trusted, and confident that the work I do here actually matters. That’s not something I take for granted.”*
