Job Description

Step into a meaningful, multi-week assignment as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant in Salt Lake City, Utah, where your clinical expertise will empower patients to reclaim independence and improve daily life. In this specialty you’ll partner with seasoned therapists to design and implement targeted interventions, monitor progress, and celebrate every recovery milestone. This is your chance to apply evidence-based practice in diverse settings, from acute care to outpatient rehabilitation, while making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and families across Utah’s vibrant communities. Envision the impact you can have—one person, one goal, one step forward at a time—within a supportive team that champions your growth, resilience, and professional voice. And beyond the professional impact, Utah offers a treasure trove of natural wonders and cultural richness—from the grandeur of the Wasatch Mountains to sparkling alpine lakes and world-class national parks—creating a backdrop for balance, inspiration, and lasting memories.

Working in Salt Lake City blends urban opportunity with outdoor vitality. You’ll be part of a thriving healthcare landscape that values patient-centered care and innovative therapy approaches, while enjoying a city renowned for its safety, walkable neighborhoods, and a broad array of dining, arts, and entertainment options. The region serves as a springboard to explore Utah’s scenic basketball of landscapes, where weekend adventures—skiing in winter, hiking in spring and fall, or relaxing by a lake—complement your professional routine. For those who relish geographic flexibility, there is potential to collaborate with teams across the U.S., expanding your professional network and exposure to varied patient populations, settings, and care models. This role offers the stability of guaranteed hours, a clear weekly pay range, and the chance to develop deep specialty competencies in occupational therapy assistance.

Role specifics and benefits begin with a patient-centered remit : you’ll assist licensed occupational therapists in evaluating functional abilities, participating in treatment planning, delivering individualized interventions, and documenting progress notes with accuracy and timeliness. Your responsibilities may include therapy sessions focused on self-care tasks, mobility, cognitive strategies, motor skills development, and home environmental adaptations that support independence. You’ll support discharge planning, caregiver education, and community reintegration, while monitoring safety, adherence, and outcomes. The position provides a pathway to deepen expertise within the Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant specialty, with mentorship and ongoing professional development that promote autonomy, evidence-based practice, and leadership in your clinical area. In addition to professional growth, attractive benefits are woven into the package : a competitive weekly pay range of $1,397–$1,446, with a guaranteed 36.0 hours per week to anchor your schedule and financial planning. The assignment is described as a weeks-long engagement starting on 12 / 15 / 2025, designed to align with healthcare facilities’ needs and your own preferences for intensity and exposure.

To further support your success, the role features a robust package designed to attract and retain dedicated clinicians. Expect a sign-on style bolster through a competitive bonus program, plus housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs during the assignment. The arrangement also provides extension opportunities that allow for continuity of care and deeper integration into clinical teams, should both you and the facility wish to continue beyond the initial term. Importantly, you’ll never travel alone : our comprehensive 24 / 7 support network is available to you throughout the travel experience, ensuring you have reliable access to clinical guidance, logistics, and wellbeing resources whenever you need them.

Company values are reflected in a culture that empowers staff to advance their careers while maintaining a supportive, collaborative work environment. The company prioritizes open communication, professional development pathways, and recognition of the critical role that every COTA plays in patient outcomes. You’ll find a work atmosphere where colleagues encourage ongoing learning, celebrate accomplishments, and invest in your long-term success—whether that means pursuing specialty certifications, expanding scope of practice, or stepping into mentorship and leadership roles within the therapy team.

If you’re ready to apply, seize this opportunity to join a company that values your contribution and champions your professional development. This Utah Salt Lake City assignment is crafted to fit clinicians who thrive in dynamic teams, value patient impact, and cherish access to outdoor living and urban amenities alike. Begin your next chapter as a dedicated Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant in a setting that balances compassion, clinical excellence, and life beyond the clinic. A rewarding journey awaits you—where your expertise helps people reclaim independence, and your career path ascends through supportive leadership, meaningful assignments, and a thriving professional community. Please take the next step and submit your application to explore how this role can align with your aspirations and lifestyle. Your impact starts here, in the heart of Utah’s capital and its remarkable, expanding therapeutic landscape.
