Position Details:
NESCA is seeking per diem occupational therapists to join the Real-life Skills Coaching team (4-10 hours per week, usually afterschool hours).
Coaches provide services for adolescents and adults looking to develop functional life skills in their own homes and communities.

Concrete skills such as managing money, using transportation, personal shopping, self-care routines, and meal preparation are often areas of need for clients.
