Make a Meaningful Difference Every Day

Are you a California-licensed Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA) looking for a role where you can build meaningful relationships with participants while providing high-quality occupational therapy care?

We’re seeking a compassionate and skilled COTA with adult and/or geriatric experience to join a collaborative, multidisciplinary care team. This is an opportunity to move beyond high-volume therapy settings and provide personalized care focused on helping participants maintain independence, safety, and quality of life.

Pediatric-only experience does not meet the ideal profile for this role.

Why You'll Love This Role

Lower patient volumes – No seeing 3–4 patients per hour

Meaningful relationships – Build long-term connections with participants rather than short-term rehab interactions

Collaborative environment – Work closely with OTs, therapists, providers, and other disciplines

Better work-life balance – No after-hours documentation

Holistic care approach – Help participants achieve greater independence in their daily lives

Varied setting – Provide care at the center and in participants’ homes

What You'll Do

Under the direction of an Occupational Therapist, you will:

Implement occupational therapy treatment programs established by the OT

Provide restorative and rehabilitative services to help participants maximize independence and safety

Assist with obtaining vital signs, range of motion, and strength measurements

Coordinate with the Rehabilitation team to carry out individualized treatment plans

Provide interventions involving adaptive devices, therapeutic techniques, activities, and exercises

Support muscle re-education, perceptual-motor and cognitive function, balance, endurance, and ADL performance

Schedule participant treatments and clinical visits

Complete accurate clinical documentation and billing-related responsibilities

Communicate participant progress and condition updates with the interdisciplinary team

What We're Looking For

Required

Associate degree in Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) from an accredited program

Valid California OTA license or proof of license eligibility

Knowledge and skills to work with frail, elderly participants with complex needs

Ideal Experience

Adult and/or geriatric patient experience

Outpatient

Acute care

Inpatient

Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF)

Join a Team Where Your Work Matters
