Part-Time & Full-Time | $32–$40/hr DOE

What You're Walking Into

Cherrelyn Healthcare Center is a 176-bed skilled nursing facility in Littleton, CO, part of Stellar Senior Living and operating for 12+ years. That kind of longevity in this industry means something: stable leadership, consistent census, and a therapy team that's built real culture over time.

You'll work directly alongside our OTs to help residents rebuild the functional skills that matter most to them. This is hands-on, relationship-driven rehab work in a structured SNF environment.

The Role

As a COTA, you'll carry an assigned caseload under OT supervision, implementing individualized treatment plans focused on ADLs, functional mobility, and quality-of-life outcomes.

Day-to-day responsibilities:

• Deliver OT treatment plans under the supervising OT's direction
• Work with residents on ADL retraining, fine motor skills, strength, balance, and daily functional tasks
• Track and document resident progress accurately and on schedule
• Educate residents and families on techniques, adaptive equipment, and home carry-over strategies
• Collaborate with nursing, PT, SLP, and care coordination teams
• Maintain organized, safe treatment spaces in compliance with facility and state standards
• Participate in ongoing clinical training and competency development

What We Offer

• $33–$40/hr, based on experience
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid Time Off + paid holidays
• 401(k) retirement savings plan
• Paid bi-weekly
• Tuition reimbursement and continuing education opportunities
• A tenured therapy team — no constant turnover, no starting over every 6 months
• Real advancement pathways within a growing, multi-community company

Who's a Strong Fit

• COTAs who want consistent, meaningful caseloads — not rushed 15-minute sessions
• Clinicians who enjoy building relationships with older adults over a full course of care
• Therapists ready to step into a collaborative, long-standing SNF team
• People who take documentation seriously and can work both independently and under OT supervision

Requirements

• Active Colorado COTA licensure/certification in good standing
• Associate's degree from an accredited OTA program
• Minimum 1 year of COTA experience (SNF or post-acute preferred)
• Strong communication and documentation skills
• Physical ability to assist with patient mobility and perform repetitive therapeutic tasks
