Want to practice therapy somewhere you actually get to know your patients?

At AdviniaCare, our residents aren't just names on a caseload. We give our COTAs the chance to build meaningful relationships with residents, families, and an interdisciplinary team — while helping people regain independence and reclaim the everyday activities that matter most to them. Success here isn't always measured by a discharge home; sometimes it's relearning how to get dressed, hold a fork steady, or find a new way to do something that once felt lost.

We're growing our rehab team and looking for a compassionate, full-time Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant who wants to practice differently — one who values person-centered care, creative problem-solving, and being part of a team that treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

Responsibilities

• Assist occupational therapists in developing and implementing individualized treatment plans for patients with physical, emotional, and cognitive impairments
• Conduct assessments and evaluations to identify patients' strengths, weaknesses, and needs
• Design and implement interventions to improve activities of daily living, cognitive function, and overall well-being
• Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date patient records
• Educate and support patients, families, and caregivers to promote healthy habits and long-term independence

What We're Looking For

This role is best suited to COTAs who value:

• Relationship-based care
• Hands-on, creative clinical problem-solving
• Helping patients regain independence in daily life
• True interdisciplinary teamwork
• Making a meaningful difference in the lives of others

Requirements

• Current certification as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA)
• Graduate of an accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant program
