Sometimes the right career opportunity isn’t about leaving occupational therapy—it’s about finding a setting where your skills, interests, and professional goals are a better fit. For Occupational Therapists and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants who enjoy working with children, Aspen Center offers the opportunity to become part of a growing pediatric therapy team in the Cary, North Carolina area.
Aspen Center is currently seeking OTs and COTAs who want to help children develop greater independence while continuing to grow professionally themselves.
Put Your OT Skills to Work in Meaningful Ways
Pediatric occupational therapy is filled with opportunities to turn clinical knowledge into practical improvements in a child’s everyday life. A therapy session might involve strengthening fine motor abilities, developing motor planning, supporting sensory regulation, improving self-care skills, or helping a child participate more successfully at home or school.
Aspen Center serves children from birth through age 16, giving therapists exposure to different ages, developmental stages, and therapy goals. Individual treatment is an important part of our services, along with opportunities involving small groups and specialized areas such as sensory integration, feeding, social skills, and motor planning.
Work Alongside Other Pediatric Professionals
The people around you can make an enormous difference in your workday. Aspen Center provides a collaborative pediatric environment where Occupational Therapists and Speech-Language Pathologists work as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Being able to exchange ideas with other professionals can provide valuable perspectives when working with children who have multiple developmental needs. It also creates an environment where therapists can continue learning from one another rather than feeling professionally isolated.
A Place to Develop Your Pediatric Career
You don’t need to have every answer on your first day to become an important part of a pediatric therapy team. Aspen Center values professional development, and mentorship is available for therapists who can benefit from additional guidance as they strengthen their pediatric skills.
This can make Aspen Center an appealing opportunity for both experienced professionals and therapists who want to build greater confidence working with pediatric clients.
For established pediatric OTs and COTAs, joining a growing practice also provides the chance to bring existing knowledge and experience to a team that values collaboration and individualized care.
More Than Just Another OT Position
When considering a career move, the work itself matters. Pediatric occupational therapy provides opportunities to see progress in ways that can be meaningful to children and their families.
Helping a child successfully fasten clothing, participate in a classroom activity, tolerate a challenging sensory experience, improve handwriting, or become more confident during play can represent a significant achievement. These everyday victories are an important part of why many therapists choose pediatric care.
Aspen Center has served children and families throughout the Triangle area for more than 18 years. As our pediatric services continue to grow, we are looking for professionals who want to contribute their abilities, ideas, and enthusiasm to the next chapter of our practice.
