Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) – Pediatric Settings

Part-Time or Full-Time | Cynergy Rehab Group

Come work for an established, supportive company that puts pediatric therapy at the heart of its brand. At Cynergy Rehab Group, we don’t just provide therapy—we build relationships, support families, and help children reach meaningful milestones in their everyday lives.

As a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA), you will work under the direction of an Occupational Therapist to deliver individualized, play-based therapy across two dynamic pediatric settings.

Settings:

• EIDT (Early Intervention Day Treatment): Working with children 6 weeks to 6 years old in a structured, team-based environment
• Outpatient Pediatric Clinic: Serving children and adolescents up to age 21

Schedule: Part-time or full-time opportunities available

License Requirement: Active COTA license

Your Role in Action

This is a hands-on, highly interactive role where creativity and adaptability are key. You’ll have the opportunity to work with a wide range of ages and developmental needs across both settings.

In this role, you will:

• Provide 1:1 play-based therapy sessions to children with developmental delays, sensory processing needs, autism spectrum disorders, and other diagnoses
• Implement treatment plans developed by the supervising OT, focusing on fine motor skills, visual motor integration, sensory regulation, and daily living skills
• Use creative, child-led activities (sensory play, crafts, obstacle courses, structured routines) to promote engagement and progress
• Support development of self-care skills such as feeding, dressing, grooming, and toileting readiness
• Apply sensory integration strategies to improve attention, behavior, and participation
• Collaborate closely with teachers and staff in the EIDT setting to integrate therapy into the child’s daily routine
• Educate and partner with parents/caregivers to support carryover at home
• Monitor progress and communicate updates to the supervising OT
• Complete electronic documentation accurately and in a timely manner
• Work alongside a multidisciplinary team (OT, PT, SLP) to provide comprehensive care
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized therapy environment

What the Day Looks Like

• A mix of structured therapy sessions and natural, play-based interventions
• Working with younger children (6 weeks–6 years) in EIDT and a broader age range (up to 21) in outpatient
• Opportunities to build strong, consistent relationships with children and families
• A collaborative, supportive environment where your input is valued
• A fast-paced, rewarding day where no two sessions are the same

What We’re Looking For

• Current COTA license
• Passion for working with children across a range of developmental stages
• Ability to be engaging, creative, and flexible in different settings
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care
