Job description

Wee Care offers Therapy Services and Home and Community-Based Services using evidence-based treatment models to help your loved one achieve and maintain the highest level of independence. Wee Care has been serving families in our community and surrounding communities since April 2006.

As an Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) contractor, you will deliver in-home occupational therapy services to children and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) under the supervision of a licensed OTR/L. This role exists to help clients build functional skills and greater independence through consistent, evidence-based support.

Key responsibilities include implementing OTR-directed treatment plans, documenting session notes clearly and on time, communicating progress and concerns with the supervising OTR/L and caregivers, and maintaining a safe, respectful home-based care approach.

Required qualifications/skills:

• Valid Arizona COTA licensure
• Experience supporting individuals with IDD
• Strong verbal and written communication
• Compassionate, patient-centered care style
• Ability to work independently with OTR supervision
• Comfort providing therapy in home settings
• Reliable transportation and strong time-management

Your day is built around a flexible part-time contractor schedule, most often on weekdays after school (approximately 2 PM–6 PM). You confirm your session locations, travel to clients' homes, and keep your time organized to meet a minimum of 10 sessions per week. Between visits, you stay responsive to messages, finalize documentation, and coordinate with your supervising OTR/L so plans remain aligned. The pace is steady but manageable, with time reserved for transitions, caregiver check-ins, and ensuring each session runs smoothly from arrival to wrap-up. You choose the hours and locations that fit best, while maintaining consistent, reliable follow-through for the families you serve.
