COTA - Mercy Life - PRN/CONTINGENT (Temporary FULL-TIME Need)

Mercy LIFE Massachusetts, a member of Trinity Health, is seeking an Occupational Therapist Assistant for its location in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) coordinate and provide all needed preventive, primary, acute and long term care services so that older individuals can continue living in the community. PACE is an innovative model that enables individuals who are 55 years old or older and certified by their state to need nursing home care to live as independently as possible. Through PACE, today's fragmented health care financing and delivery system comes together to serve the unique needs of each individual in a way that makes sense to the frail elderly, their informal caregivers, health care providers and policy makers.

Many PACE participants get most of their care from staff employed by the PACE organization in the PACE center. PACE centers meet State and Federal safety requirements and include adult day programs, medical clinics, activities, and occupational and physical therapy facilities.

Mercy LIFE Massachusetts provides a competitive compensation and benefit package that complements this opportunity for personal growth and professional advancement.

**General responsibilities will include:**

+ Assist the occupational therapist with evaluation, directing, planning, and providing occupational therapy services for the participants.

+ Assist Occupational Therapist (COTA) with formulating intervention plan based on identified participant problem areas as well as strengths in conjunction with the participant, family, and IDT.

+ Evaluates effectiveness of therapy interventions and revises plan of care due to response of participant or lack of progress in conjunction with OTR.

**Candidates will have:**

+ Graduate of an American Occupational Therapy Association approved curriculum with an associate's degree in occupational therapy assistant program. Possess license to practice occupational therapy in Massachusetts.

+ Must possess a current, unencumbered, active COTA license to practice in the state of Massachusetts.

+ Must have knowledge of occupational therapy theory, practice and equipment and the ability to assess patient needs.

+ Minimum of one (1) year of documented experience working with a frail or elderly population.

+ Must possess strong interpersonal skills in order to interact in extremely delicate, sensitive and/or complex situations, and to make effective presentations before senior management.

+ Candidates should have excellent communication skills, with the ability to communicate with multiple levels in the organization.

+ Must possess strong analytical and organizational skills. Must have the ability to meet strict deadlines with a high level of accuracy, ability to prioritize tasks in a highly automated setting and possess strong interpersonal skills.

+ Candidates should also possess the ability to work as part of a team.
