North Carolina is a state rich in beauty, fun and extravaganza, and it’s waiting for you on your next OT job assignment. The state is divided into three distinct regions: the mountains, the coastline and the piedmont. Each region is equally as beautiful but each has its own reason. There is possibly no more beautiful sight than mountains. The Great Smoky Mountains wind themselves throughout Southwestern North Carolina and include the tallest mountain in the East. Giving way to the mountain terrain is the gentle rolling hills of the piedmont. This area boasts the crop that has made the area famous, tobacco, thrives.

The third region is, probably North Carolina’s most well known region, the coast. The waves of the Atlantic Ocean lapping ashore along the coastline provide plenty of opportunity for swimming, boating and so much more. The coastal area is also rich in history from the first permanent English settlement in the 16th Century to historic lighthouses and Civil War battle sites. You can experience all this and more when you take an OT job in beautiful North Carolina.

North Carolina OT jobs are in high demand. Top-notch healthcare facilities in North Carolina are continually searching for dedicated occupational therapists (OTs) and certified occupational therapy assistants (COTAs). Browse our hot jobs in North Carolina to find your next OT job.
