Occupational Therapist Jobs in Kansas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a occupational therapist in Kansas?

To practice as an occupational therapist in Kansas, you must hold an active license from the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts. Licensing requires completing an accredited master's or doctoral program in occupational therapy, passing the NBCOT certification examination, and submitting a license application to the Board. Kansas does not participate in the OT licensure compact, so licensure must be obtained directly through the state Board before you can begin practicing.

How much do occupational therapists make in Kansas?

Occupational therapists in Kansas earn a median of about $99,170 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $66,720 for the lowest 10% to over $120,950 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire occupational therapists in Kansas?

Kansas occupational therapist roles are posted by Ascension, RehabVisions, and Angels Care Home Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Kansas's largest health systems and school districts tend to post the most consistent volume, particularly in Wichita and the Kansas City metro.

Which Kansas cities have the most occupational therapist jobs?

Overland Park, Wichita, and Kansas City have the most occupational therapist openings in Kansas. Wichita leads as the state's largest city and home to major health systems like Via Christi Health, while Kansas City benefits from proximity to large hospital networks and pediatric facilities, and Topeka draws demand through state government health programs and Stormont Vail Health.

Are there remote occupational therapist jobs in Kansas?

Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy is a hands-on clinical discipline, so the vast majority of roles require in-person patient contact. About 17% of occupational therapist openings tied to Kansas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to involve documentation review, telehealth consultations, or care coordination rather than direct treatment.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate positions at Kansas hospital systems and outpatient pediatric clinics that offer structured onboarding and mentorship, such as those within The University of Kansas Health System or Via Christi Health. COTA roles or rehab aide positions at skilled nursing facilities across the state give candidates hands-on exposure before full licensure. Completing a Level II fieldwork placement in Kansas and securing your Kansas State Board of Healing Arts license before graduation significantly strengthens your candidacy.

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