Occupational Therapist Jobs in Montana: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a occupational therapist in Montana?
You must hold an active license from the Montana Board of Occupational Therapy Practice before working in the state. The path starts with completing an accredited master's or doctoral occupational therapy program, then passing the NBCOT certification exam. After passing, you apply directly to the Montana Board with your exam results, transcripts, and application fee. Montana does not participate in the OT licensure compact, so out-of-state therapists must apply for a Montana license individually.
How much do occupational therapists make in Montana?
Occupational therapists in Montana earn a median of about $88,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,110 for the lowest 10% to over $110,910 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire occupational therapists in Montana?
Montana occupational therapist roles are posted by Voyage Health, Granite Peak Home Health, and Bozeman Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Large health systems anchored in Billings and Missoula tend to post the most consistent volume, particularly for inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient clinic positions.
Which Montana cities have the most occupational therapist jobs?
Billings, Missoula, and Bozeman are the Montana cities with the most occupational therapist openings. Billings leads because it is home to the largest hospital system in the state, drawing regional patients from southeastern Montana and Wyoming, while Missoula's concentration of university-affiliated clinics and Helena's state government health programs sustain steady hiring in those markets.
Are there remote occupational therapist jobs in Montana?
Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy is a hands-on clinical profession, and most positions require direct patient contact in a facility, clinic, or home setting. About 8% of occupational therapist openings tied to Montana are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, and those roles tend to be in telehealth assessment, care coordination, or supervision rather than direct treatment.
How can I get hired as a occupational therapist in Montana with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate positions at Montana's larger health systems, particularly Billings Clinic and Providence St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, which regularly hire new OTs into structured onboarding programs. School districts across Montana also hire entry-level therapists through the state's special education programs, where a provisional license is accepted while the full credential is finalized. Completing a Level II fieldwork rotation at a Montana facility is the strongest competitive edge, as it establishes local clinical relationships before graduation.
Where can I find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Montana?
You can find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Montana on Migrate Mate, which lists current Montana openings across hospitals, outpatient clinics, school districts, and home health agencies. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your license level and specialty, and apply directly to each position.
