Occupational Therapist Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a occupational therapist in Colorado?

To become a licensed occupational therapist in Colorado, you must complete an accredited master's or doctoral program in occupational therapy, pass the NBCOT Occupational Therapist Registered exam, and apply for licensure through the Colorado Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing. Colorado does not participate in the OT licensure compact as of recent years, so out-of-state applicants must apply for a Colorado license directly. The full application includes proof of education, exam scores, and a background check.

How much do occupational therapists make in Colorado?

Occupational therapists in Colorado earn a median of about $106,720 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $81,390 for the lowest 10% to over $157,820 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire occupational therapists in Colorado?

Companies currently hiring occupational therapists in Colorado include UCHealth, Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, and PAM Health, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's mix of large integrated health systems, pediatric specialty centers, and school district therapy programs means demand is spread across multiple employer types throughout the state.

Which Colorado cities have the most occupational therapist jobs?

The Colorado cities with the most occupational therapist openings are Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo. Denver anchors the largest share of openings because of its concentration of major hospital systems and specialty clinics, while Colorado Springs and Fort Collins draw consistent demand from regional medical centers, school districts, and a growing population of older adults requiring rehabilitation services.

Are there remote occupational therapist jobs in Colorado?

Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy is primarily a hands-on clinical role, so most positions require in-person patient care. About 8% of occupational therapist openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles tend to involve telehealth consultations, home program development, or care coordination rather than direct bedside treatment.

How can I get hired as a occupational therapist in Colorado with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate residency or structured onboarding programs run by large Colorado health systems such as UCHealth and Children's Hospital Colorado, which regularly bring on new graduates for rotational and supervised positions. School districts across the Front Range also hire entry-level occupational therapists with appropriate licensure for pediatric caseloads. Completing your Level II fieldwork at a Colorado facility and holding an active Colorado license before applying gives you a measurable edge over candidates still waiting on credentialing.

Where can I find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Colorado?

You can find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings. Search the listings for roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
