Hi Jazmyn,
Occupational therapists can find roles in different settings- from pediatric and acute care to long term rehabilitation and community-based programs. The Tampa Bay area boasts a robust health care system, with a large network. There are some facilities like BayCare and Tampa General Hospital, rehabilitation centers and specialized care units offering a variety of roles. The fact that there are diverse nature of health care services means that opportunities for occupational therapists will be very available.
To secure a job in the Tampa Bay area, I advise that you monitor job platforms like Indeed, Glassdoor and LinkedIn for the latest openings. More leads can come when you network with local health care providers.
I hope this helps.
All the best
