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

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

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

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

• Inpatient

• Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF)
