Finding a Recreation Therapist position involves utilizing both specialized and general job search platforms. RecreationTherapy.com is the best source for recreation therapy-specific positions, as it focuses exclusively on opportunities in this field and attracts employers specifically seeking credentialed therapists.

In addition to this specialized resource, popular job boards are excellent for broadening your search:

  • Indeed – One of the largest job aggregators with filters for healthcare and therapeutic positions
  • LinkedIn Jobs – Allows you to network with professionals in the field while searching for opportunities
  • USAJOBS – Essential if you’re interested in VA hospitals or other federal recreation therapy positions

Consider also joining professional groups on social media, attending ATRA (American Therapeutic Recreation Association) conferences, and networking with fellow recreation therapists who may know of unadvertised opportunities.
