Job Description

Step into a vital role supporting students as a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant in a dynamic school setting near Elgin, IL. This contract opportunity runs from now until June 2027, offering the chance to impact learners across several campuses and age groups—from preschool through transition-aged students (up to age 22).

As a key member of the district’s Itinerant Special Education team, you will split your time among multiple school sites, collaborating with educators and related service providers. Schedules align with each assigned school’s daily hours, averaging 35-37.5 hours per week. This role is on-site only, with no remote or virtual options available.

Key Qualifications:

  • Current Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA) license through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation
  • Active Educator License from the Illinois State Board of Education
  • Experience in school-based practice (strongly preferred)
  • Ability to work across elementary, middle, and high school environments, adapting to varied student needs
  • Must complete required background checks and fingerprinting promptly

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Deliver occupational therapy interventions under the supervision of an OT, in accordance with students' Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
  • Support students’ participation in academic and daily life tasks, promoting independence and growth
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary school teams to develop and implement strategies for student success
  • Maintain thorough documentation as required by school and state guidelines
  • Travel between multiple campuses within the district to serve assigned caseloads

This is a fantastic opportunity to build relationships across school sites, make a tangible difference in students’ educational experiences, and grow your professional skills. If you are a committed COTA ready to inspire and empower students across grade levels, submit your application today to take the next step in your school-based therapy career!

Compensation for this position ranges from $25.06 to $45.06. Eligible candidates may also receive healthcare benefits, housing, and meals/incidentals. Full details of our healthcare benefits plan can be found here. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
