Occupational Therapist Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a occupational therapist in Pennsylvania?
To become an occupational therapist in Pennsylvania, you must complete a master's or doctoral degree from an accredited occupational therapy program, pass the NBCOT certification examination, and obtain a license from the Pennsylvania State Board of Occupational Therapy Education and Licensure before practicing. The board requires a completed application, proof of your degree, and passing NBCOT scores. Pennsylvania does not participate in the OT Licensure Compact, so out-of-state applicants must apply directly to the Pennsylvania board for licensure by endorsement.
How much do occupational therapists make in Pennsylvania?
Occupational therapists in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $98,440 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $69,120 for the lowest 10% to over $128,790 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire occupational therapists in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring occupational therapists in Pennsylvania right now include Ivy Health, UPMC, and Temple Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems, school districts, and long-term care networks generate consistent openings across the state year-round.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most occupational therapist jobs?
Philadelphia, York, and Pittsburgh have the most occupational therapist openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads due to its concentration of major academic medical centers, pediatric hospitals, and school systems, while Pittsburgh's strength in rehabilitation and neuroscience drives significant demand through systems like UPMC, and Allentown's growing Lehigh Valley Health Network supports a steady suburban hiring market.
Are there remote occupational therapist jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy is fundamentally hands-on, so most roles require in-person patient contact. About 0% of occupational therapist openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be in telehealth consultation, care coordination, or school-based documentation support rather than direct clinical treatment.
How can I get hired as a occupational therapist in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate residency or fellowship programs at large Pennsylvania health systems such as UPMC or Jefferson Health, which offer structured clinical training for newly licensed therapists. School districts across Philadelphia and Allegheny counties also hire new graduates for pediatric and developmental roles. Completing Pennsylvania Level II fieldwork placements at major employers, securing your Pennsylvania license promptly after passing NBCOT, and obtaining UPMC or Penn Medicine affiliated fieldwork experience can all give candidates a meaningful edge.
Where can I find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current Pennsylvania openings from employers actively hiring across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and specialty area and apply directly.
