Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA)

Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant

Are you an experienced, compassionate Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant with long-term care experience who is ready for a change? Do you want a real voice in your workplace instead of feeling like just a number?

Position Overview

Above All Talent Solutions is partnering with a rapidly growing therapy provider that delivers innovative rehab programs to skilled nursing and long-term care communities across the U.S. This full-time COTA position may have potential to support nearby sister facilities, serving adult and geriatric residents in a post-acute/long-term care setting.

As a key member of an interdisciplinary rehab team, you will assist OTs in helping residents improve daily living skills, mobility, and independence to maximize safety, function, and quality of life.

Responsibilities

• Implement individualized OT treatment plans for adult and geriatric residents with physical, cognitive, and functional limitations in a SNF/LTC environment under OT supervision.

• Complete timely, accurate documentation of treatments, progress notes, and resident response per facility, payer, and regulatory standards.
• Educate residents, families, and staff on adaptive techniques, safety measures, and home modification strategies.
• Participate in care conferences, QI initiatives, and program development to support strong clinical and operational outcomes.

Qualifications

• Current, unrestricted COTA license in the state of practice (or eligibility prior to start).
• NBCOT certification preferred; strong new grads with relevant LTC/acute rehab experience may be considered based on client need.
• Prior experience in skilled nursing, post-acute rehab, or long-term care strongly preferred.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and collaboration skills; resident-centered, outcomes-focused approach.

Compensation and Benefits

The hiring facility offers a competitive hourly rate (market range in nearby northern Minnesota markets is typically mid-30s to low 40s per hour, depending on experience) plus a comprehensive benefits package. Full-time benefits include:

• Competitive pay
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Supplemental insurance options
• 401(k) retirement program
