Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant Job at ILOTA in Carbondale

Who we are: Synergy Therapeutic Group has been serving Southern Illinois families since 2004. We are not a hospital system. We are not a staffing company. We are an independent, founder-led clinic where the owners still treat patients every day - and where our belief shapes everything we do: the body is not broken, it’s adapting. We provide root-cause, integrative, family-centered care for adults with chronic pain and children with developmental challenges. What your workday actually looks like here: Hands-on patient care - the reason you became a COTA. You’ll treat, not push paperwork. Real one-on-one time with children and families under the direct mentorship of our co-founder, an OTR/L with over 32 years of pediatric experience. Documentation that takes about 2 minutes per note. We’ve built our systems so charting doesn’t eat your day or follow you home. Ask any therapist who’s worked in a hospital or SNF what that’s worth. Hands-on training from day one. We don’t hand you a caseload and disappear. You’ll be trained in our clinical approach personally, by the founders - the kind of mentorship most clinicians never get access to. Personal and professional growth, built in. Your continuing education is fully covered - 100%. As we grow our practitioner training programs, you grow with them. No corporate productivity quotas. Your job is to help patients get better. That’s the metric.

Benefits: (full-time):Total compensation: approximately $33-36 per hour in real value. Here’s the math we’ll walk you through line by line:

• Health insurance with employer-paid contribution toward your premium
• Dental and vision coverage
• Short-term AND long-term disability insurance
• Retirement plan with employer match 100% CEU coverage - your Illinois continuing education requirements fully paid
• Paid time off plus paid national holidays
