Entry Level Occupational Therapy Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level occupational therapy assistant job?
Employers at the entry level look for candidates who hold an associate degree from an accredited OTA program and have passed the NBCOT certification exam. Completed fieldwork hours carry real weight at this stage, so highlight specific patient populations and settings from your clinical rotations. A concise cover letter that names the facility type you want to work in gives you a clear edge over generic applications.
Which companies hire entry level occupational therapy assistants?
Companies hiring entry level occupational therapy assistants right now include FOX Rehabilitation, National HealthCare Corporation, and Preferred Therapy Solutions, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad mix of employers, including skilled nursing facilities, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, school districts, and home health agencies actively building their therapy teams.
Are there remote entry level occupational therapy assistant jobs?
Yes, though most OTA roles require hands-on patient care in a clinical setting. About 0% of entry level occupational therapy assistant openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically involve documentation support, telehealth assistance, or administrative coordination rather than direct treatment delivery.
Are these new grad occupational therapy assistant jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior occupational therapy assistant roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes candidates with zero to two years of experience, counts supervised fieldwork or clinical rotations toward the experience requirement, or explicitly states that recent graduates are encouraged to apply. Searching for new grad openings here surfaces those roles directly.
Which industries hire the most entry level occupational therapy assistants?
Entry Level occupational therapy assistant roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Government & Public Sector, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they maintain high patient volumes, face ongoing staffing needs, and regularly onboard new graduates to support licensed occupational therapists across their caseloads.
