Occupational Therapy Assistant Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a occupational therapy assistant in Colorado?
To become an occupational therapy assistant in Colorado, you must complete an associate degree from an ACOTE-accredited OTA program, pass the NBCOT Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant exam, and obtain a state license through the Colorado Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing. The state license requires proof of your accredited education, passing NBCOT scores, and a completed application to the Division. Colorado does not participate in the OTA licensure compact, so a Colorado-specific license is required to practice in the state.
How much do occupational therapy assistants make in Colorado?
Occupational therapy assistants in Colorado earn a median of about $75,340 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,880 for the lowest 10% to over $100,190 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire occupational therapy assistants in Colorado?
Colorado occupational therapy assistant roles are posted by PAM Health, Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, and Supplied Talent and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's mix of large health systems, school districts, and long-term care networks means openings are distributed across both urban centers and smaller Front Range communities.
Which Colorado cities have the most occupational therapy assistant jobs?
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Greeley have the most occupational therapy assistant openings in Colorado. Denver dominates due to its concentration of major health systems and rehabilitation networks, while Colorado Springs and Fort Collins support strong demand through regional hospital campuses, growing school districts, and an expanding senior care sector serving Colorado's aging population.
Are there remote occupational therapy assistant jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy assisting is a hands-on clinical role that requires direct patient contact for the vast majority of positions. About 0% of occupational therapy assistant openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be documentation-heavy supervisory or telehealth care coordination roles rather than direct treatment positions.
How can I get hired as a occupational therapy assistant in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate OTA positions at Colorado's large health systems, particularly UCHealth, Centura Health, and SCL Health, which regularly onboard new OTA graduates into structured orientation programs. Applying as a rehabilitation aide or occupational therapy technician at skilled nursing facilities or pediatric clinics is a proven way to build clinical hours before transitioning into a licensed OTA role. Having your NBCOT certification completed and your Colorado Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing application submitted before interviews significantly strengthens a candidate's position with Colorado hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to occupational therapy assistant jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to occupational therapy assistant jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings across health systems, school districts, and rehabilitation facilities. Find roles that fit your experience and specialty and apply directly from the listings.
