OT Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ot in Georgia?
To work as an ot in Georgia, you must hold a license issued by the Georgia State Board of Occupational Therapy, which requires completing an accredited master's or doctoral OT program, accumulating the required fieldwork hours, and passing the NBCOT certification examination. After passing, you apply directly to the Georgia State Board of Occupational Therapy for licensure before practicing in the state.
Which companies hire ots in Georgia?
Employers hiring ots in Georgia right now include Journey, Empire Care Centers, and Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Georgia's large integrated health systems and school districts tend to post the most consistent openings, particularly in the Atlanta metropolitan area and along the Augusta medical corridor.
Which Georgia cities have the most ot jobs?
Atlanta, Marietta, and Cartersville have the most ot openings in Georgia. Atlanta drives the largest share of listings due to its concentration of major hospital systems, outpatient rehab networks, and school districts, while Augusta's robust medical university and VA medical center anchor strong demand in the eastern part of the state.
Are there remote ot jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. OT is a hands-on clinical field, so the majority of roles require in-person patient care. About 50% of ot openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those that exist are most often in telehealth consultation, care coordination, or home health documentation roles rather than direct treatment positions.
How can I get hired as a ot in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new graduate or level-one fieldwork positions at Georgia's large health systems, where Emory Healthcare and Piedmont Healthcare both onboard new clinicians through structured orientation programs. School districts across metro Atlanta also hire newly licensed OTs for school-based roles that allow clinical growth under experienced supervision. Completing a Level II fieldwork placement in Georgia is a strong advantage, as many sites convert strong students into full hires once they pass the NBCOT exam.
