Bilingual Therapies

Job Description

Job Description

Step into a rewarding opportunity making a difference for students from Pre-K through 12th grade as a school-based Occupational Therapist—or COTA—covering a district-wide role. This full-time contract position begins ASAP, spanning approximately 12 weeks to cover an FMLA leave, with a strong chance of extension. Please apply only if you are committed to a maternity leave contract, understanding extensions are possible but not guaranteed.

In this essential role, you’ll partner with diverse educational teams to deliver high-quality occupational therapy services across the district. You’ll develop and implement treatment plans, monitor student progress, and bring your expertise to support learners with varied therapeutic needs. If you are a COTA, you’ll work under an OT’s supervision to provide impactful support.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Active Connecticut Occupational Therapist (OT) license OR active Connecticut COTA license/certification (CT DPH License/Passed NBCOT Exam)
  • School-based experience working with Pre-K through 12th grade preferred
  • Experience serving students with a range of disabilities
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
  • Reliable transportation

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Deliver occupational therapy services to students with diverse needs across all grade levels
  • Collaborate with educators, specialists, and families as part of an interdisciplinary team
  • Create, implement, and document progress on individualized treatment plans that support educational goals
  • Adhere to professional guidelines, district policies, and timelines for documentation
  • If a COTA, provide therapy under OT supervision

This is an excellent opportunity for OTs and COTAs seeking meaningful work with the flexibility and variety only a district-wide role can offer. The assignment starts soon—don’t miss your chance to support students’ growth and success in a collaborative school environment.

If you are passionate, licensed, and energized by temporary assignments with the possibility for more, apply today to take the next step in advancing your therapy career!

Compensation for this position ranges from $37.64 to $57.64. 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.
