Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant

Spirit Lake, Iowa is one of the most beautiful and dynamic cities in the Midwest. With a four-seasons lifestyle, thriving business climate, and a warm, friendly quality of life, you’ll find it all here in Spirit Lake. Come join our team in this amazing place.

Join NIT’s multi-disciplinary therapy team to help support outstanding outcomes for the patients and residents. This award-winning elite senior community in the heart of one of the most beautiful and dynamic cities in all of Iowa is where our therapy teams are focused on creating amazing outcomes. With over 50 specialized therapy programs to assist our patients in regaining lost or declining function, developing compensatory skills, and regaining their independence quickly our goal is to ensure our patients reach their maximum level of function. Toward that end, we have equipped our therapy gym with the latest ACP equipment, modalities and have in place over 50+ targeted programs developed to give you a bevy of options for proving therapy to your patients.

You will be supported not only by your fellow clinicians in this facility, but also by your Area Clinical Manager who will collaborate with you on everything from clinical protocols to advancing your skills set through training and certification opportunities. At NIT, our investment is in supporting our therapists to be their best selves, which in turn allows them to provide outstanding care to those we have the privilege of serving. That’s why at NIT, we look for a modest 80% productivity expectation because we believe pushing unrealistic productivities as 90-95% harms both the therapist and the patient.

And we know that work-life balance is key to everyone’s life. In addition to excellent compensation packages (salary + full benefits) we provide the opportunity for significant quarterly incentive bonuses, and paid travel time (both milage and time), a robust syllabus of in-service training programs (some for CEU credits!), and advancement opportunities. At NIT, everyone has a seat at the table, and we encourage our team members to submit success stories, new program ideas, and suggestions on how to do things better.

This opportunity is in the region’s Top Rated Assisted Living Facility (ALF) with a consistent case load of patients in ALF/IL/Memory Care/HH wings. Your caseload will be fluid across these settings. This position is open to Occupational Therapy Assistants who are licensed in Iowa or who are eligible for licensure in IA. Looking for a change of scenery? We offer relocation assistance!
