Job Description
WHO WE ARE
Therapy Clubhouse is a pediatric speech and occupational therapy practice serving children ages 0 to 18 across the Conejo Valley and Ventura County. We deliver in home and telehealth therapy today, and our flagship Westlake Village clinic with a dedicated sensory gym opens this year. We are a contracted and vendorized Early Start provider with Tri Counties Regional Center (TCRC), and we also serve private pay families. We were founded by two clinicians who are also moms, and who still run sessions themselves: Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L, Co-Founder and Lead Occupational Therapist. USC trained (Master of Arts in Occupational Therapy) with USC Ayres Sensory Integration certification, NBCOT board certified and licensed by the California Board of Occupational Therapy, with experience across early intervention, in home, and clinic based pediatric care. Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP, Co-Founder and Lead Speech Language Pathologist. CSUN trained (B.S. and M.S. in Communicative Disorders and Sciences), ASHA certified, California licensed, and PROMPT trained, with experience across early intervention, private practice, and school based settings. Rachel and Nita are building a small, genuinely collaborative OT and SLP team. The OT we hire is not filling a slot. They are a founding member of a team we are building for the long run, mentored directly by a USC sensory integration certifiedOT. THE ROLE, AND WHAT CHANGES ON DECEMBER 1
Now through November 2026: You deliver in home and telehealth pediatric occupational therapy across the Conejo Valley and nearby Ventura County. You manage your own daily route inside a caseload we cluster geographically so you are not crisscrossing the county. December 1, 2026 onward: Our Westlake Village clinic and sensory gym open. You can move into a hybrid schedule of clinic days and in home days, go fully clinic based, or keep doing what you are doing. We will build the schedule around you. You will also have a real say in how the gym gets used and programmed. You will evaluate and treat fine motor and gross motor skills, sensory processing and self regulation, motor planning and coordination, feeding, handwriting readiness, and daily living skills, through play based, family centered therapy that meets each child where they are.WHAT WE PAY
Hourly rate: $52 to $62 an hour, W-2, depending on experience and credentials. At 40 paid hours a week that works out to roughly $108,000 to $129,000 a year. Every hour is paid. Sessions, evaluations, documentation, parent coaching, and drive time between clients. You are not writing notes for free at 9pm.Mileage:
reimbursed at the current IRS standard business rate, 76 cents per mile as of September 2026. Long distance drives are fully covered.Health insurance:
available starting on day 91, after the 90 day introductory period.Also included:
workers compensation, California paid sick leave, and overtime.Growth track:
a salaried and benefited path as caseloads stabilize and the clinic opens.WHAT YOU WILL DO
Conduct comprehensive OT evaluations covering fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, self regulation, feeding, and daily living skills, in the home, by telehealth, and from December 2026 in our clinic. Build individualized treatment plans matched to each child's goals and developmental stage. Deliver engaging, play based therapy grounded in evidence based early intervention practice. Coach families and caregivers so progress carries over between sessions. Keep documentation timely, accurate, and compliant. Run your own daily route within a geographically clustered caseload. Collaborate with our OT and SLP team, and help shape clinic and sensory gym programming as we grow.WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
You live in or near the Conejo Valley or Ventura County. Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Oak Park, Moorpark, Simi Valley, Camarillo, Oxnard, or Ventura. We are hiring from this community. You are genuinely willing to drive to families' homes. Reliable car, comfortable working out of it, and you see the value in treating a child in the room where they actually live. We pay your drive time and your miles, and we cluster your caseload, but this is a driving job. You like the in home model, or you are curious enough about it to try. In home OT is where you find the real barriers: the doorway they will not walk through, the shirt they will not wear, the chair that does not fit. You want to help build something. We are early. There are still decisions to make about programming, equipment, and how the sensory gym runs, and you will have a real voice in them.REQUIREMENTS
Active California Occupational Therapist license from the California Board of Occupational Therapy (CBOT), or a current CBOT limited permit. NBCOT certification (OTR), or exam eligible and practicing under a CBOT limited permit pending your results. Please note that CBOT cancels a limited permit if the exam is not passed, so continued employment depends on passing. Degree from an ACOTE accredited occupational therapy program. Master's level is the current entry standard. A bachelor's level degree is accepted only if you already hold an active California OT license. Valid California driver's license, reliable vehicle, and personal auto insurance meeting California minimums (30/60/15). Cleared Live Scan (DOJ and FBI) background check, current TB clearance, and U.S. work authorization (I-9). CPR and First Aid certification, or willingness to obtain it. Employment is contingent on verification of your license, background check, TB clearance, and work authorization.NICE TO HAVE
Pediatric experience, especially early intervention or school based. Sensory Integration training or interest. We have a dedicated sensory gym opening this year and a USC Ayres SI certified OT to learn from. NDT training, or pediatric feeding experience.
