San Jose, CA - Full-Time | Onsite

Make a Meaningful Difference Every Day

Are you a California-licensed Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA) looking for a role where you can build meaningful relationships with participants while providing high-quality occupational therapy care?

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
• Meaningful relationships - Build long-term connections with participants rather than short-term rehab interactions
• Collaborative environment - Work closely with OTs, therapists, providers, and other disciplines
• Better work-life balance - No after-hours documentation
• Holistic care approach - Help participants achieve greater independence in their daily lives
• Varied setting - Provide care at the center and in participants’ homes

What You'll Do

• 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
• Acute care
• Inpatient
• Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF)
