Which companies hire occupational therapy assistants in Vermont?
Employers hiring occupational therapy assistants in Vermont right now include Powerback Rehabilitation, HiredFirst, and Allaire Health Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026.

Which Vermont cities have the most occupational therapy assistant jobs?
Newport, Rutland, and Windsor have the most occupational therapy assistant openings in Vermont. Burlington accounts for the largest share thanks to UVM Medical Center and its affiliated outpatient network, while Rutland and Barre see steady demand from regional hospitals and skilled nursing facilities serving Vermont's older rural population.
How can I get hired as a occupational therapy assistant in Vermont with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to fieldwork placement programs at Vermont's accredited OTA programs, which regularly connect students with clinical sites at facilities like UVM Medical Center and regional skilled nursing centers.
