Rehab Clinic Manager - COTA

At AdvantageCare Rehabilitation, we believe exceptional rehabilitation leaders aren't defined solely by their management experience. They're clinicians who lead by example, take initiative, support their teammates, and genuinely care about the quality of services their patients receive.

We're seeking a motivated, organized, and clinically confident Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) to join our team as a Rehab Clinic Manager at Chapel Pointe in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of the daily operations of a rehabilitation department while remaining actively involved in hands-on patient care.

As our Rehab Clinic Manager, you'll serve as the primary on-site rehabilitation team leader, helping guide clinical operations, coordinate patient care, support fellow therapists, and maintain strong relationships with facility administration and Advantage leadership.

Whether you're an experienced rehabilitation leader or a COTA who consistently demonstrates initiative, strong clinical judgment, and the ability to bring a team together, we'd love to meet you!

We understand that not every rehabilitation department needs the same leadership structure or schedule.

At Chapel Pointe, we've created a flexible, hourly leadership opportunity designed to balance clinical care, department management, and work-life balance.

Here's what you can expect:

As our Rehab Clinic Manager, you'll have an important role in ensuring the rehabilitation department operates efficiently, delivers excellent patient care, and maintains a positive, collaborative team environment.

• Provide skilled occupational therapy services under the direction and supervision of a licensed Occupational Therapist, as required.

• Implement individualized treatment plans focused on improving functional independence, mobility, and activities of daily living.

• Promote adherence to applicable Medicare, Medicaid, facility, and rehabilitation regulatory requirements.

• Support departmental quality assurance initiatives and continuous improvement efforts.

• Identify opportunities to improve workflow, resource utilization, and team communication.

• Collaborate with Advantage regional leadership regarding departmental performance, operational priorities, and staffing needs.

• Maintain an appropriate balance between direct patient care and administrative responsibilities.

• Serve as the primary on-site rehabilitation contact for Chapel Pointe administration and interdisciplinary care teams.

• Build and maintain professional relationships with nursing leadership, facility administrators, and other departments.

• Participate in appropriate facility meetings, care coordination discussions, and discharge planning activities.

• Communicate rehabilitation needs, departmental updates, and operational concerns to Advantage leadership.

• Support a strong partnership between the rehabilitation department and the broader Chapel Pointe community.

• Represent AdvantageCare Rehabilitation with professionalism, initiative, and a commitment to exceptional service.

• Graduate of an accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant program.

• Previous leadership or management experience is welcomed but not required.

If you're a COTA who takes pride in your clinical skills, enjoys supporting fellow therapists, and wants to play a larger role in the success of a rehabilitation department, this could be the perfect next step.

At Chapel Pointe, you'll have the opportunity to combine clinical care, team leadership, and department management in a position where your contributions truly matter.

We recognize that some of the strongest leaders are clinicians who haven't yet held a formal management position.

If you're someone who naturally takes initiative, follows through on commitments, communicates effectively, and approaches challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset, we want to hear from you.

You'll have access to experienced regional rehabilitation leadership and organizational resources to help you succeed in your role.

Located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Chapel Pointe is a continuing care retirement community that provides a supportive environment for older adults through a variety of residential and care services.

Working within this community offers the opportunity to build lasting relationships with residents, collaborate closely with interdisciplinary professionals, and help individuals maintain independence and improve their quality of life.

As Rehab Clinic Manager, you'll have the opportunity to make an impact not only through the patients you treat but also through the team you support and the department you help lead.

At AdvantageCare Rehabilitation, we're a therapist-founded, therapist-led organization with more than 23 years of experience delivering patient-focused rehabilitation services.
