Travel Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant Job
Location benefits: Rolla sits in the heart of Missouri’s Ozarks, where scenic trails, tranquil parks, and welcoming neighborhoods create an inviting backdrop for busy healthcare professionals. The region offers affordable living, a vibrant local culture, and convenient access to outdoor recreation—from hiking and fishing to state parks and historical sites. For those who crave broader horizons, our program also provides the opportunity to work in various locations across the U.S., broadening clinical exposure, building cross-site connections, and enriching your professional panorama while you maintain your base in Rolla when you’re not traveling. Missouri’s diverse landscapes and communities offer a balanced lifestyle that supports focus during the workweek and fulfilling exploration on days off.
Role specifics and benefits: In this role, you’ll support occupational therapy sessions by setting up equipment, guiding therapeutic activities, documenting progress notes, and adjusting interventions under OT supervision. You’ll assist clients with adaptive strategies for self-care, mobility, cognition, and social participation, prioritizing safety, dignity, and individualized goals. The position provides pathways for professional growth within the occupational therapy assistant spectrum, exposure to diverse patient populations, and opportunities to elevate your competencies through mentorship and continuing education support. Competitive compensation includes weekly pay ranging from $1,473 to $1,617, with no guaranteed hours, reflecting the flexible, travel-forward nature of the assignment. In addition, you’ll be eligible for a bonus program, housing assistance, and contract extension opportunities that acknowledge reliability and impact. Comprehensive, 24/7 support while traveling with our company ensures you have trusted guidance, resources, and assistance at any hour, wherever your assignments take you, from Rolla to new locations across the country.
Company values: Our organization is devoted to empowering staff, fostering clear career pathways, and cultivating a supportive, inclusive work culture. We champion autonomy, collaboration, and ongoing learning, ensuring you have the tools, mentorship, and encouragement to grow within the specialty and explore leadership or advanced practice avenues if you choose. We believe strong teams thrive when every voice is heard, when careers are built on defined trajectories, and when compassion guides every patient, family, and colleague interaction.
Call to action: If you’re ready to join a company that values your clinical expertise and is committed to your professional development, apply now. This is your chance to contribute to meaningful care in Rolla, enjoy Missouri’s natural beauty, and broaden your horizons by exploring varied settings across the United States. Start date is December 1, 2025, with a multiweek assignment designed to help you settle in, deliver impactful OT services, and grow in your specialty.
