Overview

Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA)
Full-Time · 30-35 hrs/week · Secure Inpatient Rehab | Unique Skilled-Nursing Environment

 

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Unique, Secure Setting – Deliver skilled-nursing–level rehab inside a protected campus that feels safer and more predictable than many home-health or community sites.
  • No Insurance Red Tape – Forget visit caps and prior-auth headaches; your clinical judgment—not paperwork—guides every plan of care.
  • Autonomy + Teamwork – Provide true 1:1 care while collaborating closely with an on-site OT and a supportive interdisciplinary team.
  • Strong Compensation & Benefits – Competitive pay, full benefits, CEU support, and the resources you need to thrive.
  • Meaningful Impact – Help older adults regain independence, master ADLs, and enjoy a higher quality of life during their stay.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Do

  • Deliver evidence-based ADL training, therapeutic exercise, and adaptive-equipment education under the supervision of a licensed OT.
  • Assist with evaluating, progressing, and documenting personalized care plans for geriatric, post-surgical, orthopedic, and neurological patients.
  • Educate patients - and staff when appropriate -on safe transfers, fall-prevention, and self-management strategies.
  • Maintain a safe, therapeutic environment by following security and infection-control protocols and ensuring equipment is in top condition.
  • Communicate progress and changes promptly to the OT and wider care team to keep treatment plans current and effective.

Qualifications

What You’ll Bring

  • Accredited OTA degree and active (or eligible) Ohio OTA license with NBCOT certification.
  • Experience—or a strong interest—in skilled-nursing, geriatric, or inpatient rehab settings.
  • Ability to work confidently and independently while staying closely aligned with your supervising OT.
  • Clear, compassionate communication skills and a team-first attitude.
