Now Hiring: Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA) San Jose, California | Onsite / Community-Based | Full-Time
Are you a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant looking for a role where you can build meaningful relationships with participants rather than move from patient to patient all day? We’re seeking a COTA to join an interdisciplinary care team providing personalized occupational therapy services to adult and geriatric participants across center and home-based settings.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Lower patient volumes than traditional high-volume therapy settings, allowing more time for meaningful, individualized care
Build long-term relationships with participants rather than providing short-term episodic rehabilitation
Serve primarily adult and geriatric participants with complex needs while developing deeper expertise in functional rehabilitation
Strong work-life balance with 17 days PTO, 12 observed holidays, 6 sick days, 401(k) with match, comprehensive benefits, and unlimited CEUs through MedBridge
Key Responsibilities:
Deliver occupational therapy treatment programs under the direction of a licensed Occupational Therapist
Implement individualized interventions designed to improve ADLs, mobility, balance, endurance, cognition, coordination, and functional independence
Assist with vital signs, range-of-motion assessments, strength testing, and other components of participant care
Coordinate treatment activities with the broader Rehabilitation and Interdisciplinary Team (IDT)
Provide services in both center and participant home settings, adapting interventions to real-world functional needs
What We’re Looking For:
Associate’s degree from an accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) program
Valid California COTA/OTA license, or proof of eligibility for licensure
Strong clinical knowledge relevant to adult and geriatric rehabilitation
If you’re looking for a COTA role where you can spend more time helping people regain independence—and less time chasing patient volume, we’d love to connect.
