Los Angeles County is the single biggest employer of occupational therapists in the United States, and for a traveler that scale is the whole point. More people, more hospitals and rehab facilities, and more settings than anywhere else mean OT contracts in nearly every specialty are open at any given time. LA has an unusually deep school-based and pediatric therapy sector, a large adult rehab and skilled-nursing market driven by an aging population, and a busy outpatient and hand-therapy scene, plus niche demand you find almost nowhere else, from performing-arts and sports rehabilitation to entertainment-industry clinics. For benchmarking, occupational therapists earn a national median of about $98,340 a year per BLS data, and Los Angeles sits above it.
The practical upshot is choice and turnover. Whatever setting or population you want to work with, LA runs it at volume, so your recruiter can match you closely rather than slotting you into whatever is open. We Care Staffing's current LA contracts pay up to $3,200 a week on a 40-hour schedule.
Two honest realities shape an LA assignment. First, Los Angeles is vast, so the neighborhood your contract is in matters as much as the city itself; a commute across LA can eat an hour each way, so ask your recruiter where the facility actually sits and plan housing around it. Second, the cost of living is high, though more moderate than the Bay Area. Your tax-free housing and meal stipends are built to offset it, so review the package and location together with your recruiter before you accept, and you can make an LA contract pay well while landing somewhere you actually enjoy.
As a travel occupational therapist with We Care Staffing in Los Angeles, you evaluate patients and build treatment plans that restore everyday function: helping people regain independence after injury, surgery, stroke, or illness, adapting tasks and environments, and recommending assistive equipment. Days run a predictable weekday schedule, roughly 9 AM to 5 PM, 40 hours a week, across the settings we staff: skilled nursing, home health, inpatient, and outpatient. Tell your recruiter your preferred setting and experience level.
We Care Staffing places occupational therapists across Los Angeles County: skilled nursing facilities, home-health territories, inpatient rehab units, outpatient and hand-therapy clinics, and school-based and pediatric settings. Because LA is so large, contracts range across the metro, so tell your recruiter which areas work for your commute and housing.
