Need: Part-time

Location: Sisters of Notre Dame

Rate Range: $30-$38/hour based on years of experience

1. Mission-Driven Work

• The Sisters of Notre Dame is a religious organization focused on service, education, and care, especially for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, or people with disabilities.

• A COTA who values helping others improve their quality of life would find alignment with SND’s mission.

2. Holistic Approach to Care

• SND organizations often emphasize whole-person care, considering emotional, social, and spiritual well-being alongside physical rehabilitation.

• This allows a COTA to expand beyond traditional therapy and contribute to a more comprehensive care plan.

3. Diverse Client Population

• They may serve children, adults, seniors, or individuals with disabilities, providing a COTA with a variety of experiences and the chance to develop a wide skill set.

4. Supportive and Values-Based Environment

• SND often fosters a family-like atmosphere, which can be rewarding for personal and professional growth.

5. Opportunities for Growth

  • Cross-disciplinary collaboration with teachers, social workers, and healthcare providers.

  • Professional development in specialized areas such as pediatric or geriatric OT, adaptive technology, or life skills training.

6. Making a Tangible Impact

• Many COTAs want to see the direct results of their work—helping someone gain independence or improve daily functioning.

• In an SND setting, progress is person-centered and meaningful, which can be highly motivating.

✅ In short: A COTA might want to work at Sisters of Notre Dame because it offers a values-driven, supportive environment where they can make a real difference in the lives of diverse populations, while growing professionally in a holistic care setting.
