Embark on a rewarding journey as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant in Helena, Montana, where your dedication to patient care translates into tangible, meaningful progress every day. In this role you will assess functional abilities, craft tailored therapy plans, implement hands-on interventions, and coach clients through strategies that promote independence in daily activities. You’ll collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to optimize motor function, cognitive skills, and adaptive equipment use, while documenting outcomes that reflect steady growth. This is more than a job—it's an opportunity to shape recovery stories, empower families, and witness the resilience of the human spirit. And when you crave inspiration outside the clinic, Montana’s majestic landscapes await—the rugged mountains, wide open skies, pine forests, and the Missouri River weaving through Helena’s surroundings offer prime opportunities to recharge and reconnect with what fuels your purpose.
Location Benefits: Working in Helena places you in a community known for its warmth, practical amenities, and access to outdoor recreation. You’ll enjoy a balanced lifestyle with a strong healthcare network, professional development resources, and the chance to experience the Montana hospitality that makes a difference for both staff and patients.

Role Specifics and Benefits: The COTA will lead hands-on therapy that targets upper-limb function, mobility, activities of daily living, and participation goals tailored to each patient. Responsibilities include initial assessments, treatment planning, implementing therapeutic activities, monitoring progress, updating caregivers, and ensuring precise, compliant documentation. You’ll have the opportunity for ongoing professional growth within occupational therapy, advancing your skills in pediatrics, geriatrics, or rehab across settings as needs evolve. The position offers competitive weekly pay in the range of $1,225 to $1,295, with guaranteed 36.0 hours per week, and starts on or around 04/06/2026, with weeks-long assignments designed to fit a dynamic career path. There is potential for bonuses, housing assistance, and contract extensions, providing stability and additional support as you settle into new environments. Our travel program delivers comprehensive, 24/7 support while you’re on assignment, ensuring you’re never alone on the road. You’ll be joining a team that uses evidence-based practices, modern therapy tools, and a collaborative approach to care, with mentorship and peers available to help you sharpen your practice.
