Embark on a rewarding path as a Physical Therapy Assistant in Cape May, New Jersey, where compassionate care meets coastland charm. This opportunity invites you to partner with licensed therapists to restore function, reduce pain, and accelerate patients toward independence. As you guide individuals through personalized therapeutic activities, you’ll witness small, meaningful victories every day. Picture yourself making a tangible difference in rehabilitation, while enjoying the distinctive rhythm of Cape May — from sunlit beaches to the historic elegance of its Victorian streets, and the serene beauty of Cape May Point. The New Jersey coast offers a dynamic backdrop for clinical excellence, accented by world-class seafood, vibrant shore towns, and a community oriented toward wellness and resilience. For professionals seeking broader horizons, this role also opens pathways to assignments across the United States, enriching your clinical repertoire with diverse patient populations, facilities, and practice environments.

Location benefits go beyond the clinic doors. Cape May delivers a high quality of life with accessible outdoor recreation, dining, and cultural activities that support a healthy work-life balance. The proximity to the Jersey shore means you can unwind after shifts with beach walks, lighthouse visits, and sunset views. Collaborate with seasoned PTs and rehab teams in a region known for its robust healthcare networks, where your expertise is valued and your growth is nurtured. If you crave broader exposure, we offer opportunities to travel to additional sites nationwide, allowing you to broaden your clinical perspective while still anchoring in a supportive community. Embrace a role that combines professional development with the chance to experience new locales, learn from diverse clinical teams, and build a network that spans the country.

- Core responsibilities: Under PT supervision, implement treatment plans, guide therapeutic exercises, assist with modalities and assistive devices, participate in initial and ongoing patient assessments, document progress accurately, ensure patient safety and infection control, and provide thorough patient and family education for home exercise programs.

- Professional growth: This role emphasizes hands-on skill development within the Physical Therapy Assistant specialty, with opportunities to expand your scope through mentorship, continuing education support, and exposure to diverse patient populations across multiple settings. You’ll gain experience across orthopedic, neurological, pediatric, or geriatric rehab contexts, strengthening your clinical confidence and earning potential.
- Compensation and perks: Enjoy competitive weekly pay within the range of $1,202-$1,297, with guaranteed hours of 35.0 per week. The contract is structured in weeks, with the possibility of extensions based on performance and facility needs. Additionally, the package includes a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation logistics, and clear extension opportunities should you wish to continue collaborating with our teams. Our travel programs are designed to remove barriers to success, so you can focus on patient care while we handle logistics.
