A Different Contractor Model for Occupational Therapists

At Belong Health, contractors are treated as independent professionals.
You maintain control over:

• The clients you work with
• The types of referrals you accept
• Your working days and hours
• Your preferred clinical areas
• Your caseload size and structure

This allows you to create a workload that aligns with both your professional goals and personal lifestyle.

No KPIs or Productivity Targets

We do not impose:

• Decline referrals that do not suit your availability or clinical preference

​This structure allows for stronger clinician-client alignment and more sustainable caseload management.

We understand that flexibility is one of the main reasons clinicians choose contracting.
As an Occupational Therapy contractor with Belong Health, you can:

• Choose the days you want to work
• Adjust your availability throughout the year
• Structure your schedule around personal commitments
• Build a workload that suits your preferred work-life balance

There are no fixed rosters or mandatory hours.
