Occupational Therapy Hiring Outlook
Travel OT jobs sit within a growing field. BLS projects about 10,000 OT openings a year for 2025-35. That includes new jobs and replacement hiring. OT employment is projected to grow 15% over the decade. Both figures cover the whole profession, not just travel roles.
Planning Occupational Therapy Travel Jobs
Occupational therapy focuses on helping people participate more fully in the activities that matter in daily life, and travel OT jobs bring that work into many different settings. Occupational therapists may travel to hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing centers, outpatient programs, home health organizations or schools, depending on their background and interests.
Occupational therapy is a growing profession across rehabilitation, hospitals, home health, schools and community-based care. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects OT employment to grow 15% from 2025 to 2035. For travel OTs, that growth supports a wide range of settings while the profession's focus stays consistent: helping people participate more fully in the daily activities that are important to them.
Travel Occupational Therapy Jobs FAQs
How much experience do travel occupational therapist jobs require?
Most travel OT jobs require two years of recent OT work. Some accept one year. Each job page lists the experience needed for the role.
Can I use the OT Compact for a travel contract?
Yes, if you're eligible and both your home and destination states offer OT Compact privileges. You must live in the home state and hold an unencumbered license there. Complete the required background check and any state law exam, then obtain the destination privilege before practicing. State membership alone does not mean privileges are available.
How long do travel occupational therapy jobs last?
Anders Group says most of its travel assignments are 13 weeks, with shorter and longer options possible. For an OT assignment, the specific contract's dates determine how long you are committing to that role.
Does an active OT license mean my NBCOT certification is current?
No. State licensure and NBCOT certification have separate renewal processes. NBCOT certification is renewed every three years to maintain active status. An active state license alone does not confirm that your NBCOT certification is current.
