Job Description

COTA (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant) Springfield, MA

*Must have 1 year clinical experience*

| $37–$40 Per Visit | Flexible Schedule | Comprehensive Benefits

Proudly Voted a Top Place to Work by the Boston Globe and USA Today in 2024 — because we take care of our people like you take care of your patients.

Let’s be honest — you didn’t become a COTA (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant) just to count reps and chase paperwork. You’re here to help people regain independence, one adaptive technique at a time. At Visiting Rehab and Nursing Services (VRNS), we’re clinician-owned, which means we actually understand what it’s like in the field. No micromanaging, no mileage mystery math — just real support, flexible schedules, and a team that gets it.

We’re growing fast (on purpose), and we’re looking for a Per Diem COTA (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant) in the Springfield residential area of Massachusetts who are ready to ditch the cookie-cutter hours and make a difference — without burning out.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• Competitive Per Visit Pay: $37–$40 — because “just doing exercises” is doing a lot.
• Flexible Scheduling: Work mornings, afternoons, or the sweet spot in between.
• Full-Time Benefits: dental and vision — the works.
• Mileage Reimbursement: $0.62/mile — we won’t let your gas tank suffer.
• Professional Development: Learn, grow, and stay sharp without the yawns.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Provide in-home occupational therapy treatments under the guidance of a licensed OT (no trust falls, we promise).
• Track progress, adapt plans, and help patients crush their daily goals.
• Teach patients and caregivers how to safely do the things that matter — from brushing teeth to mastering the microwave.
• Document clearly and efficiently in our user-friendly EMR.
• Deliver care that’s hands-on, heart-forward, and never boring.

We partner with specialized programs like the Acquired Brain injury (ABI) Waiver Program, which means steady, consistent caseloads — and the flexibility to live your life, too. Plus, our support team is always a phone call away (and they answer!)

What We’re Looking For:

• COTA (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant) , licensed in Massachusetts
• 1+ year of clinical experience
• Great communicator with a sense of humor and a love for teamwork
• Ability to work independently, without feeling like you’re on an island
• EMR experience preferred (ours won’t crash your soul)
• Home health experience is a plus, but not required — we’ll train you!
