Relient Health

Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) Multiple California Locations

Reliant Health is seeking licensed Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTAs) for full-time, in-person opportunities within established rehabilitation departments across California. These are full-time, direct-hire, permanent placement positions (not travel, not contract, not PRN).

Our openings include opportunities in Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs), retirement communities, hospitals, outpatient clinics, pediatric settings, and home health, depending on the specific location.

Current COTA openings available in: Auburn, Fremont, Hayward, La Mesa, Novato, San Jose, San Rafael, Sunnyvale, Walnut Creek, and additional California markets.

Who Are These Opportunities Ideal For?

  • Licensed California Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants
  • COTAs relocating to California
  • Recent graduates from accredited OTA programs pursuing California licensure
  • COTAs seeking experience in SNF, ALF, retirement communities, hospital-based rehab, outpatient, pediatric, home health, or mixed-setting rehabilitation roles

This role is specific to licensed Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants practicing within a rehabilitation department. This is not a CNA, nursing assistant, medical assistant, therapy aide, or non-licensed support role.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive statewide COTA salary range: $32-45/hr (Compensation varies by market, setting, and experience.)
  • Full benefits (medical, dental, vision)
  • 401(k)
  • Paid Time Off
  • Continuing education support
  • Some locations offer relocation assistance or sign-on bonuses

Clinical Responsibilities

  • Implement treatment plans under the direction of a licensed Occupational Therapist (OT)
  • Deliver high-quality occupational therapy services in a rehabilitation setting
  • Assist patients with ADLs, functional skills, safety, and independence
  • Document patient care in EMR systems per state, federal, and facility standards
  • Collaborate with OTs, rehab staff, nursing teams, and interdisciplinary care providers

Required Qualifications

  • Graduate of an accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) program
  • Active California COTA license, or eligibility/pending licensure
  • Ability to work full-time in one of the listed California markets
  • Authorized to work in the United States

Why Interview Through Relient Health?

  • Reliant Health specializes exclusively in permanent placement for licensed rehabilitation therapy professionals nationwide.
  • We understand therapy.
  • We understand healthcare facilities.
  • We prioritize long-term alignment not just your next job.
