Imagine the satisfaction of watching a client return to meaningful routines—meals, dressing, work tasks, and cherished hobbies—thanks to your clinical skill, empathy, and creativity. Frederick’s welcoming communities, combined with the broader opportunities across the United States, offer a dynamic setting where your professional growth and personal fulfillment can flourish.
Frederick, Maryland, is a standout place to practice and grow. Nestled between rolling hills and historic neighborhoods, it blends small-town charm with access to major urban hubs. The area offers vibrant dining, cultural events, and outdoor adventures—from scenic trails and parks to nearby waterways and historic sites.

You’ll work alongside dedicated professionals who value mentorship and know-how, with access to resources designed to help you thrive. As you rotate to other locations across the country, you’ll encounter a spectrum of settings—from urban medical centers to community-based clinics and rural facilities—each presenting unique case mixes and opportunities to refine your OT skills. This exposure sharpens clinical judgment, broadens therapeutic approaches, and strengthens your ability to adapt to different patient needs, all while enjoying the cultural and natural richness of the places you visit.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a travel Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, you’ll support comprehensive rehabilitation programs under the supervision of licensed OTs. Core responsibilities include contributing to patient evaluations, assisting with treatment planning and therapeutic activities, and implementing interventions that promote independence in Activities of Daily Living. You’ll help clients practice motor skills, balance, coordination, and cognitive tasks; you’ll adapt activities and equipment to meet evolving goals; and you’ll document progress in electronic medical records to inform care teams. You’ll engage in regular rounds, collaborate with multidisciplinary staff, and participate in quick problem-solving to ensure patient safety and progress. This role offers clear pathways for professional growth within the specialty, including enhanced assessment skills, pain management strategies, and functional mobility optimization.
Benefits are competitive and designed to support you throughout your assignment. Weekly pay ranges from $1,239 to $1,285, with guaranteed hours of 30 per week, providing stability across weeks of service. The opportunity includes a bonus to recognize performance and contribution, plus housing assistance to ease relocation needs and rental logistics.
