Embark on a rewarding journey as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant in Helena, Montana, where your hands‑on expertise translates into real, lasting outcomes for patients across the rehabilitation spectrum. In this travel‑based opportunity within the Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant specialty, you’ll partner with licensed OTs to help clients regain independence in daily activities, regain mobility, and reclaim confidence after illness, injury, or surgery. Your day may include guiding therapeutic activities, fabricating adaptive equipment, teaching strategies for home safety, and empowering patients and families with practical tools for long‑term success. This role is designed for clinicians who are curious, adaptable, and passionate about making a visible difference in people’s lives. Beyond the clinical impact, you’ll enjoy the chance to immerse yourself in Montana’s striking landscapes, vibrant communities, and rich local culture during your time off, with downtime set against a backdrop of wide skies, rivers, and mountain vistas that invite exploration.
Helena sits at the heart of Montana’s outdoor ethos and offers a welcoming base for clinicians who value balance between professional growth and personal discovery. The location benefits go beyond a stable core site: you’ll have the chance to work in a dynamic, supportive environment within a state known for its natural beauty and strong sense of community. In addition, this travel assignment provides flexibility to operate in various locations across the United States, expanding your clinical perspectives and exposing you to a range of practice settings—from outpatient clinics to inpatient rehab and skilled nursing facilities. You’ll gain exposure to diverse patient populations and care models, building a broader professional portfolio while enjoying the distinctive advantages of each community—whether you’re negotiating a quiet mountain town rhythm or the energy of a bustling regional hub. Expect a generous blend of professional challenge and personal enrichment, with the opportunity to discover new locales, make lasting professional connections, and return with enhanced clinical confidence.
The role specifics emphasize collaboration, clinical excellence, and continuous growth. Under the supervision of licensed occupational therapists, you’ll implement individualized treatment plans, monitor patient progress, and adjust activities to optimize outcomes. You’ll document assessments and treatment notes, participate in discharge planning discussions, and communicate effectively with interdisciplinary teams to ensure seamless care transitions. Your responsibilities include facilitating therapeutic activities that address fine motor skills, cognitive rehab, endurance training, visual-mpatial skills, and safety education for activities of daily living. You’ll assist with equipment fabrication and adaptive strategies, help guide families in home modification and safety strategies, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives through careful data collection and outcome tracking. This assignment offers a clear path to professional advancement within a supportive framework that values your growing expertise and recognizes your contributions. The financial package features a competitive weekly pay range of $1,239-$1,256, with guaranteed weekly hours of 36.0 and a start date of February 9, 2026. The contract spans a defined period of weeks, with opportunities for contract extensions based on performance, patient needs, and organizational demand.
In recognition of the realities of travel work, the program includes attractive benefits designed to support you every step of the way. A welcome or sign‑on bonus may be available, alongside housing assistance to ease relocation and temporary housing costs, and clear extension opportunities if you enjoy the setting and the role. You’ll also benefit from comprehensive support services, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel team, access to on‑call clinical mentors, and robust onboarding that equips you with the tools and resources needed to hit the ground running. The combination of consistent support, structured professional development, and a culture of care ensures you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care while expanding your regional experience and professional credentials.
This opportunity is aligned with a company values‑driven approach that prioritizes empowering staff, fostering career advancement, and cultivating a collaborative, respectful work environment. You’ll join colleagues who are committed to ongoing learning, evidence‑based practice, and peer mentorship, creating a culture where your voice matters and your career trajectory is nurtured. Whether you’re pursuing specialty certifications, expanding your scope of practice, or exploring leadership pathways, the organization provides pathways, resources, and time dedicated to your growth—backed by supportive leadership and a network of travel professionals who share a common goal: helping you thrive while delivering outstanding patient outcomes.
