FAQs – Travel Occupational Therapy Jobs Near Palo Alto, CA

What certifications are required for travel Occupational Therapy jobs?
Facilities typically require current NBCOT certification as an Occupational Therapist Registered (OTR), along with BLS certification. You also need authorization to practice in the assignment’s state. Your recruiter can confirm exact requirements for this position.
How much experience do I need for a travel Occupational Therapy assignment?
Many travel OT assignments prefer at least one year of experience, ideally in the same setting as the job. Requirements vary, and some facilities consider therapists with less experience. Relevant skills include independently completing evaluations, developing treatment plans, and managing a daily caseload.
Can I practice while my California OT application is pending?
California is not an OT Compact member, so you must apply for a California occupational therapist license. A clinician holding a current, active, unrestricted license in another state may practice for up to 60 calendar days from the Board’s receipt of the application, but only in association with a California-licensed OT. Fingerprinting remains required, and the practice allowance applies only when every statutory condition is satisfied. Confirm current fees, requirements, and application steps with the California Board of Occupational Therapy.

Benefits

  • Relocation and Travel Reimbursement
  • Dedicated team to help with state licensing & renewals
