Occupational Therapist Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a occupational therapist in Massachusetts?
You become a licensed occupational therapist in Massachusetts by completing an accredited master's or doctoral occupational therapy program, passing the NBCOT certification exam, and applying for licensure through the Massachusetts Board of Allied Health Professions. The board requires proof of education, a passing NBCOT score, and a completed application before you may legally practice. Many programs include supervised fieldwork rotations at Massachusetts clinical sites, which also build local professional networks before graduation.
How much do occupational therapists make in Massachusetts?
Occupational therapists in Massachusetts earn a median of about $100,930 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $73,140 for the lowest 10% to over $127,380 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire occupational therapists in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring occupational therapists in Massachusetts right now include Aveanna Healthcare, Thom Child & Family Services, and Reliant Rehabilitation, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's dense concentration of academic medical centers, pediatric hospitals, and post-acute rehabilitation networks means occupational therapist demand is spread across both large systems and specialized outpatient clinics throughout the state.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most occupational therapist jobs?
The cities with the most occupational therapist openings in Massachusetts are Boston, Lowell, and Lynn. Boston's concentration of world-class academic medical centers and children's hospitals drives the largest share of postings, while Worcester and Springfield generate consistent demand through their regional hospital systems, community health networks, and school district contracts serving large surrounding populations.
Are there remote occupational therapist jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy is fundamentally a hands-on clinical role, so most positions require in-person patient care. About 6% of occupational therapist openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be telehealth consultation roles, early intervention coordination, or administrative and supervisory positions rather than direct treatment caseloads.
How can I get hired as a occupational therapist in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new graduate programs at large Massachusetts health systems, where employers like Mass General Brigham and Boston Children's Hospital offer structured onboarding and mentorship for newly licensed OTs. Completing Level II fieldwork rotations at Massachusetts facilities builds direct local references. Candidates who hold an active Massachusetts license and OTR credential before applying move through screening faster, and targeting school-based or early intervention roles through public school districts and regional education collaboratives is another well-established entry point that does not require prior clinical employment history.
Where can I find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings updated regularly. Find the roles that fit your specialty, setting, and location, then apply directly to each one.
