What does a Occupational Therapist do?

Occupational Therapists evaluate and restore the functional skills patients need for daily life — from post-stroke ADL recovery and hand rehabilitation to pediatric sensory integration and aging-in-place home safety assessments. In Florida, home health OT is in particularly strong demand as AHCA-certified home health agencies expand post-surgical and neurological rehab programs to meet Medicare reimbursement requirements.

What we're really selling

We sell freedom.

Agencies tell Occupational Therapists where to work, when to work, and what they're worth. ShiftCura shows you what's available and lets you choose. Here's what that actually looks like for Occupational Therapists in Florida:

Curate your schedule

Work a morning shift at one facility, a night shift at another, a weekend at a third — in the same week. You build your schedule across multiple providers.

Dictate your pay

See open shifts with transparent rates. Take the ones paying more than your current job. The market sets the rate in front of you.

Become a traveling OT

Every OT on ShiftCura is effectively a travel caregiver within Florida. Move where the shifts are good, not where an agency sends you.

No single-employer dependency

Work for multiple providers simultaneously. No single bad dispatcher, no one facility's politics controls your income.

Take a day off or vacation

Agencies punish caregivers who turn down shifts. On ShiftCura, you just don't accept shifts that day. Next day, your full feed is back.

One-off shifts work now

Picking up a single shift is frictionless — tomorrow's shift is on the same platform, same profile. Single shifts become continuous income.

Why per diem OT work beats agency employment

The per-visit math for Florida home health OT is hard to ignore: agencies pay $85-$120 per home visit, and at 6-8 visits a day you're clearing more than most salaried staff OT positions pay annually — with complete control over your own schedule. ShiftCura connects you directly with agencies that have open caseloads, so you build your own book rather than filling someone else's roster.

You're changing the market

You're not just taking shifts. You're resetting Florida's caregiver economy.

Florida's caregiver workforce has been underpaid for too long. Staffing agencies historically skim 30-60% off every OT rate before you ever see a paycheck. Medicaid reimbursement formulas still reflect numbers from a decade ago. The people doing the hardest work in healthcare have been getting paid the least.

Every shift you pick up on ShiftCura puts pressure on that model. When Florida Occupational Therapists have a direct marketplace with transparent rates, the agency economic leverage breaks down — facilities that used to pay agency markups have to reconsider the math. Over time, rates have to follow, because the labor pool keeps moving to platforms that pay fairly.

This isn't just a better gig app. It's a structural correction to a broken market — and you're at the center of it.
