  • Communicate resident progress and concerns to the supervising OT and interdisciplinary care team
  • Educate residents, families, and caregivers on adaptive techniques and home exercise programs
  • Support discharge planning and contribute to care plan meetings as needed
  • Maintain compliance with state, federal, and facility regulations, including Medicare/Medicaid documentation standards

What You'll Bring

  • Graduate of an accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant program
  • Current NBCOT certification (COTA)
  • Active Colorado OTA license (or eligibility/willingness to obtain — license reciprocity candidates welcome)
  • CPR/BLS certification (or ability to obtain upon hire)
  • New grads welcome — SNF or long-term care experience a plus
  • Strong documentation skills and a team-first, resident-centered mindset

What's Offered

  • Competitive hourly rate, commensurate with experience
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Paid time off and holiday pay
  • Continuing education support and license reimbursement
  • Relocation assistance may be available for the right candidate
