OT Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ot in New York?
To become an ot in New York, you must earn a master's or doctoral degree in occupational therapy from an accredited program, complete the required supervised fieldwork hours, and pass the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy exam. You then apply for a New York State occupational therapist license through the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions, which issues and oversees the license required to practice in the state.
Which companies hire ots in New York?
Employers hiring ots in New York right now include CVS Health, Riverview, LLP, and Massena Hospital, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's large integrated health systems and its extensive network of public school districts make it one of the more active states for consistent occupational therapy hiring throughout the year.
Which New York cities have the most ot jobs?
New York, Rochester, and Bronx have the most ot openings in New York, driven by the concentration of major hospital systems, rehabilitation networks, and public school programs in and around New York City, while Buffalo and Albany draw demand from regional medical centers and state government health services anchoring those metros.
Are there remote ot jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Because occupational therapy is fundamentally a hands-on clinical role, most positions require an in-person presence with patients. About 7% of ot openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those tend to involve telehealth services, care coordination, documentation review, or consulting roles rather than direct patient treatment.
How can I get hired as a ot in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new graduate or new clinician positions at large New York health systems such as Northwell Health or NYU Langone Health, both of which have structured programs that onboard new occupational therapists with mentorship and supervision. Completing fieldwork rotations at New York facilities can convert directly into job offers. Candidates who hold their New York State license and NBCOT certification before interviewing move through hiring faster than those still awaiting credentials.
