OT Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a ot in Virginia?

To become an ot in Virginia, you must earn an accredited master's or doctoral degree in occupational therapy, complete the required supervised fieldwork hours, and pass the NBCOT certification exam. You then apply for licensure through the Virginia Board of Medicine, which oversees occupational therapy licensing in the state. Most Virginia employers require your license to be active before your start date.

Which companies hire ots in Virginia?

Employers hiring ots in Virginia right now include Inova Health System, HealthPRO Heritage, and Continuum Therapy Partners, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Virginia's large integrated health systems, school divisions, and pediatric rehabilitation networks account for the majority of consistent openings across the state.

Which Virginia cities have the most ot jobs?

Richmond, Fairfax, and Norfolk have the most ot openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's concentration of major health systems and pediatric practices drives volume there, while Richmond's academic medical centers and Virginia Beach's large coastal hospital networks sustain strong hiring in those metros year-round.

Are there remote ot jobs in Virginia?

Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy is a hands-on clinical role, so most positions require in-person patient contact. About 36% of ot openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles tend to be limited to telehealth screenings, documentation, or care coordination functions rather than direct treatment.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate positions at large Virginia health systems such as Inova, Sentara, or VCU Health, which regularly onboard new clinicians from accredited programs. School-based positions through Virginia's public school divisions are also accessible entry points for graduates. Completing fieldwork rotations in Virginia facilities builds local connections, and having your NBCOT certification and Virginia license application in progress before graduation gives you a meaningful edge.

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