About the job
Make a Meaningful Impact Where Life Actually Happens
At Kinetic, we believe therapy should restore independence in the place that matters most: home. As a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) on our home health team, you will empower individuals to thrive in their daily routines, overcome functional barriers, and regain autonomy in their everyday living spaces.
If you are an adaptable, compassionate clinician who thrives on clinical autonomy, personalized 1-on-1 patient care, and collaborative partnership with supervising OTs, you’ll find your stride at Kinetic.
Why You’ll Love Working with Kinetic
Individualized 1 on 1 Care: Say goodbye to double-booking and high-volume clinic mills. Spend focused, quality time delivering functional outcomes that directly improve daily living.
Flexible Autonomy: Manage your daily schedule with local travel, giving you ownership over your routine and balance in your day.
Collaborative Clinical Culture: Work alongside experienced Occupational Therapists who value your clinical observations, treat you as an essential care partner, and support your ongoing professional growth.
Streamlined Documentation: Document on the go with online electronic medical records systems.
What You’ll Do
Carry out individualized treatment plans designed by the evaluating OT, targeting ADLs, IADLs, energy conservation, home safety modifications, and adaptive equipment training at an average of 6-7 patients per day.
Guide patients through practical, everyday challenges - from kitchen safety and bathroom mobility to customized daily routines tailored to their actual living spaces.
Maintain active, proactive communication with supervising Occupational Therapists to report functional progression, adjust treatment strategies, and celebrate milestone recoveries.
Partner with families and caregivers, providing clear instruction on adaptive strategies and safe functional transfer techniques.
Complete point-of-care clinical notes and documentation promptly, keeping the interdisciplinary care team aligned and informed.
What We’re Looking For
Licensure: Active (or eligible) license to practice as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) in North Carolina.
Education: Graduate of an ACOTE-accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant program.
Experience: Minimum of 1 year of clinical experience required; direct experience in Home Health or adult rehabilitation settings is strongly preferred.
Certifications: Current BLS / CPR certification.
Mobility & Reliability: Valid North Carolina driver’s license, reliable transportation, and an active auto insurance policy for local territory visits across Pitt County and adjacent communities.
Mindset: Strong interpersonal skills, excellent self-management, sound clinical judgment, and genuine empathy for patients navigating recovery at home.
