OT Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a ot in Florida?

To work as an ot in Florida, you must obtain a license from the Florida Department of Health's Board of Occupational Therapy Practice. That requires completing an accredited master's or doctoral occupational therapy program, passing the NBCOT certification exam, and submitting a licensure application to the state board. Florida does not participate in a universal license compact, so out-of-state applicants must apply for a Florida license directly through the board.

Which companies hire ots in Florida?

Employers hiring ots in Florida right now include The Lakes Home Care, Step Up Rehab, and Aveanna Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's large hospital systems, pediatric specialty centers, and school districts consistently post openings throughout the year, making the state one of the more active markets for occupational therapy hiring.

Which Florida cities have the most ot jobs?

Miami, Orlando, and Sarasota have the most ot openings in Florida. Miami's large and diverse hospital network and aging population drive high demand, Orlando's concentration of pediatric and rehabilitation facilities adds significant volume, and Tampa's established health systems and outpatient clinic growth account for a steady share of postings outside the major coastal metros.

Are there remote ot jobs in Florida?

Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy is primarily a hands-on clinical role that requires direct patient contact, so most positions are on-site. About 8% of ot openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be in telehealth consultation, care coordination, or school-based virtual services rather than direct treatment roles.

How can I get hired as a ot in Florida with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate positions at large Florida health systems, many of which run structured clinical onboarding programs for newly licensed OTs. AdventHealth, HCA Florida, and Nemours Children's Health regularly post new-grad roles in acute care and pediatrics. Fieldwork completed at Florida facilities is a strong advantage, as is obtaining your Florida license promptly after passing the NBCOT exam. COTA-to-OT bridge candidates and those with experience as rehab aides or therapy technicians also find these employers receptive to lateral transitions.

Where can I find and apply to ot jobs in Florida?

You can find and apply to ot jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings from employers across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
