OT Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a ot in Pennsylvania?

To work as an ot in Pennsylvania, you must hold an active license issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Occupational Therapy Education and Licensure. You first earn a master's or doctoral degree from an ACOTE-accredited program, complete the required fieldwork hours, and pass the NBCOT certification exam. After passing, you apply to the State Board for your Pennsylvania license before practicing. Some employers also value specialty certifications in areas like hand therapy or school-based practice.

Which companies hire ots in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring ots in Pennsylvania right now include Evolve Therapy Services, Powerback Rehabilitation, and Symbria, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems, school districts, and skilled nursing networks generate consistent openings throughout the year, particularly in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metro areas.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most ot jobs?

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Altoona have the most ot openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its concentration of academic medical centers, children's hospitals, and rehabilitation networks, while Pittsburgh's strength in health system employment through large regional employers drives volume there, and Allentown benefits from a growing network of outpatient rehab and post-acute care facilities serving the Lehigh Valley.

Are there remote ot jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, but they're rare. OT is a hands-on clinical profession, so the large majority of roles require in-person patient contact. About 47% of ot openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, which reflects a small segment of the field. The parts of ot work most likely to be remote include documentation support, telehealth consultation for certain evaluations, and care coordination or supervision roles.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate programs at Pennsylvania's large health systems, where UPMC, Jefferson Health, and Geisinger run structured residency and clinical development tracks for early-career ots. School districts across Pennsylvania also hire new graduates for school-based positions with mentorship built in. Completing your Level II fieldwork at a Pennsylvania facility strengthens your candidacy, and obtaining your NBCOT certification and Pennsylvania license before your start date removes the biggest hiring barrier for entry-level applicants.

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

You can find and apply to ot jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current Pennsylvania openings updated regularly. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty, location, and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
