Occupational Therapist Jobs in Irving
Therapy 2000 is hiring occupational therapists to work with pediatric patients across Irving and the surrounding DFW region, from infants in the NICU through school-age children navigating sensory, motor, and developmental challenges. Pediatric occupational therapy can change a child’s life trajectory, and Therapy 2000 is built to support the clinicians doing that work. The culture here is mentorship-first, collaborative, and therapist-centered: caseloads are structured for quality clinical work, not volume.
As one of Texas’s largest pediatric therapy providers operating statewide, we give occupational therapists geographic variety, long-term career stability, and a clear path for clinical growth. If you’re an OT professional who wants meaningful patient relationships and a workplace that invests in you professionally and financially, read on.
What separates Therapy 2000 from hospital systems, school districts, and outpatient clinics is a fundamental commitment to clinician quality of life alongside patient outcomes. Here’s what that means in practice:
- Pediatric-only clinical focus — You work within well-developed protocols and specialty knowledge across the team. Every clinician here understands sensory integration, fine motor development, and early intervention science because that’s all we do.
- Manageable caseload structure — Session quality comes before throughput. Caseloads are designed to allow you to deliver thorough evaluations, individualized treatment, and genuine family partnership—not to maximize billable hours.
- Statewide presence with real choice — Positions span major Texas metros (Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin) and underserved areas. You can build a career here and move geographically as your life changes, or stay rooted in one community for years.
- Cross-discipline team collaboration — OTs, PTs, and SLPs work on shared caseloads regularly. You’re not isolated in a single specialty; you learn from colleagues across disciplines and see how integrated care works in practice.
- Clinical autonomy supported by leadership — Management prioritizes patient outcomes and therapist judgment over standardized productivity metrics. You make clinical decisions, and leadership backs them.
- Access to proprietary training and CEU funding — Continuing education is funded at no cost. Therapy 2000 covers approved courses, in-house specialty workshops, and certifications relevant to pediatric OT practice so you stay current without out-of-pocket expense.
This role is built for clinicians who want meaningful patient relationships rather than a high-volume production environment. Your typical week includes:
- Evaluate and treat pediatric patients from birth through age 21 across the full developmental spectrum—from NICU transitions and early intervention through school-age motor and sensory challenges.
- Develop individualized treatment plans in collaboration with families, caregivers, and interdisciplinary team members. You own the clinical direction within scope of practice.
- Document progress notes and maintain clinical records in compliance with Texas licensure requirements and payer standards—with documentation workloads designed to fit within your shift, not extend into personal time.
- Communicate regularly with families to explain treatment goals, progress, and home practice recommendations in plain language. Clear family partnership is non-negotiable here.
- Participate in team case conferences and clinical supervision where applicable to your licensure level and experience, working through complex cases and ethical challenges with peers.
- Collaborate with school districts and early intervention programs as each patient’s care requires. You coordinate with educators and other providers to ensure continuity across settings.
- Mentor therapy assistants and clinical fellows where your licensure and experience qualify you to do so. Clinical leadership is a natural career path here.
Why Work With Us
Therapy 2000 operates one of the largest pediatric in-home therapy networks in Texas. We’ve been doing this work for decades, which means our operations, clinical standards, and support systems are mature. We know what works. We also recently expanded significantly by acquiring Circle of Care and joining KidsCare, forming a national pediatric home health provider—so your growth opportunities are real. Many of our OTs have moved into clinical leadership, mentorship, and specialty program development.
Locally in Corpus Christi, we have established relationships with pediatricians, schools, and families, which means your referral pipeline is steady and your work is recognized in the community.
Mentorship Program
Structured clinical mentorship begins in your first week—not informal guidance from a busy colleague. New clinicians are paired with a trained mentor and given dedicated time for case review, skill development, and documentation coaching. This is a formal program with selected mentors, not an ad hoc arrangement.
Work-Life Balance
Flexible scheduling and manageable caseloads are designed around clinician well-being. Management works to accommodate your preferred hours, preferred service areas, and caseload intensity where operationally possible rather than defaulting to maximum utilization. No mandatory overtime, documentation workloads that fit within the shift, and a management team that responds when your caseload becomes unsustainable.
Free CEUs
Continuing education units are funded at no cost. Therapy 2000 covers approved courses, in-house specialty workshops, and certifications relevant to pediatric OT so you stay current without out-of-pocket expense. We cover the full CEU hours required for Texas licensure renewal.

Frequently Asked Question:
You’ll treat pediatric patients from birth through age 21 in in-home settings, outpatient therapy centers, schools, and early intervention programs. Caseloads span developmental delays, sensory processing challenges, fine motor deficits, autism spectrum support, and post-injury rehabilitation—the full spectrum of pediatric OT practice.
Yes, we actively hire new OT graduates and CFYs (Certified Fulfilling Year). The mentorship program pairs you with an experienced clinician from day one for case review, documentation support, and clinical confidence-building.

In-home therapy gives you direct access to the child’s natural environment—their home, family routines, and real-world challenges. You see how sensory or motor deficits actually affect daily life. In-home positions require a valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle; mileage is reimbursed. Clinic-based roles offer more consistent scheduling and reduced travel time.
Caseloads are designed for quality over volume. Rather than the high-throughput models common in hospitals or large school districts, Therapy 2000’s caseload structure prioritizes time for thorough evaluation, individualized treatment planning, and genuine family partnership. Exact caseload size depends on service model and experience level—ask during the interview.
Student loan debt is a real burden for new therapy graduates. Therapy 2000’s Debt Crusher Program provides loan repayment support to help you reduce student debt faster.
