Expect a manageable caseload of approximately 32 students (about 800 minutes weekly), spread across several elementary, middle, and high schools for an enriching, dynamic experience. Full-time hours run Monday to Friday, approximately 7.5 hours per day.

Qualifications:

  • Active Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) license in Missouri
  • Experience working in pediatric or school-based settings is preferred
  • Strong ability to manage and prioritize a diverse caseload
  • Flexibility to adapt to multiple school environments
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills

Key Responsibilities:

  • Deliver direct occupational therapy interventions to students as outlined in IEPs
  • Collaborate with educators, families, and multidisciplinary teams to support student goals
  • Maintain thorough documentation of services and progress
  • Adapt therapy strategies to best fit student needs across different campus settings
  • Participate in meetings and consultations as required

If you’re ready to take on a meaningful role within a supportive educational community, your next career step is here. Apply today to learn more and make a difference supporting students and staff in their journey to success!
