About the role

Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) – In-House

If you’ve worked in SNF therapy under a contract model and felt like the company’s priorities didn’t always match your patients’ needs — this role is intentionally different.

We are an in-house, family-owned therapy organization — not a contract therapy company. Our therapy teams are clinician-led and clinician-supported, so you can focus on what you were trained to do — delivering meaningful, patient-centered care that changes lives.

Why Therapists Choose Sprenger Therapy

- In-house therapy model — your loyalty is to your residents, not a contract company’s bottom line

- Therapy time protected — no routine non-therapy tasks pulling you away from patients

- Clinical judgment respected — autonomy is valued

- Mentorship available — support that goes beyond orientation

- Stable, family-oriented culture — leadership is present and accessible

- Care decisions guided by outcomes and patient needs — not short-term volume

Our therapy teams operate differently — and it shows in our retention and culture.

What You’ll Do

- Provide skilled occupational therapy services under OT supervision

- Assist with evaluations, treatment planning, and patient progression

- Deliver patient-centered interventions focused on function and safety

- Collaborate with PT, SLP, nursing, and the full interdisciplinary care team

What We’re Looking For

- Active COTA license in good standing

- Commitment to patient-first, outcomes-driven care

- Team-oriented mindset with strong communication skills

- New graduates welcome — mentorship provided from day one

Pay & Benefits

- Competitive compensation based on experience

- Flexible scheduling

- Generous 401(k) with company match

- Continuing education units (CEUs) — available

- Paid time off and vacation pay

- Health, dental, and vision insurance

- Company-paid life insurance

- Tuition reimbursement

- Growth opportunities within a 12-facility network
