Job description

Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant
Outpatient Clinic • Oklahoma City, OK • Shepherd Mall • Full-Time

Therapitas is a nonprofit that has served Spanish-speaking families in Oklahoma since 2009 with one mission: ensuring Spanish-speaking children have the same access to quality therapy as any other child.

We’re hiring a Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant to join our multidisciplinary outpatient team in Oklahoma City. The ability to speak Spanish is not required. We provide trained interpreter support.

Why Join Therapitas?

• Mission-Driven Work: Be part of a team that expands access to care and makes a meaningful difference for children and families.
• Work-Life Balance: Documentation gets done at work, not at home. We build documentation time into your schedule, protect your lunch hour, and use unfilled cancellations as additional documentation time.
• Structured Mentorship and Support: New hires go through a formal training and ramp-up period, with ongoing support through regular one-on-ones, documentation guidance, and professional development.
• Collaborative Team Environment: Work alongside experienced OTs, PTs, SLPs, and support staff who value teamwork, growth, and excellent care.
• A Sustainable Caseload: Most therapists carry about 23–28 hours of direct therapy per week, with caseloads built around experience and preferences.

What You’ll Do

• Implement treatment plans developed by a licensed Occupational Therapist (OT).
• Provide skilled intervention to support fine/visual motor skills, sensory processing challenges, ADL participation, delayed or restrictive feeding patterns, and overall functional independence.
• Document services in our easy-to-use EMR
• Collaborate with PTs, SLPs, and other team members to provide coordinated, family-centered care
• Supervise Occupational Therapy Assistant students

What We’re Looking For

• OTA degree from an accredited program
• Oklahoma OTA license or eligibility to obtain
• New grads and upcoming board exam candidates welcome
• Passion for working with children and families
• Mission-driven approach to care

What We Offer

• Competitive pay based on schedule and experience

• 401(k) matching
• Generous PTO, paid holidays, and sick leave from day one, not accrual-based
• Continuing education and licensure assistance
