Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) - Per Diem

Make Movement Matter. Change Lives Every Day.

Are you a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) who wants more than a routine clinical role? Do you thrive in hands-on, meaningful work where your skills directly improve someone's quality of life? Join our interdisciplinary team and help individuals achieve greater comfort, mobility, and independence through thoughtful, person-centered rehabilitation services.

This is a dynamic, highly interactive role for a PTA who enjoys collaboration, problem-solving, and being a trusted clinical resource.

Your impact will include:

Providing range of motion and rehabilitative services as referred by the Interdisciplinary Treatment Team (ITT), using skilled manual techniques and safe lifting (up to approximately 60 lbs).

Assisting with equipment weaning, maintaining schedules, and monitoring progress to support functional outcomes.

Supporting the Physical Therapist by coordinating and securing clinic visits related to equipment concerns, and accompanying individuals to appointments as needed.

Ensuring all required documentation and paperwork are prepared and transported for clinic visits.

Assisting with annual and quarterly evaluations, including:

Transporting individuals in wheelchairs (combined weight up to approximately 140 lbs)

Observing individuals in adaptive equipment

Taking goniometer readings of all extremities

Bending, kneeling, stooping, and visually assessing positioning and alignment

Providing weekly observations of individuals on assigned teams and submitting written recommendations to leadership.

Delivering hands-on training and in-service follow-up to direct care and clinical staff on positioning, equipment application, and range of motion techniques.

Attending annual evaluations and presenting oral reports in the absence of the Physical Therapist.

Applying, monitoring, adjusting, repairing, or altering adaptive equipment to ensure proper fit, safety, and condition.

Completing designated sections of Medicaid Justification Forms accurately and on time.

Serving as a clinical resource on rehabilitative and mobility-related issues.
