As a Physical Therapy Assistant, you will assist licensed physical therapists in delivering evidence-based rehabilitation services to diverse patient populations. Your key responsibilities include guiding clients through therapeutic exercises, balance and gait training, and functional activities that restore independence. You will apply modalities and assistive devices as prescribed, monitor patient progress, and document outcomes with accuracy to inform ongoing care. You’ll contribute to treatment planning, reinforce home exercise programs, educate patients and families on safety and self-management, and collaborate with the broader care team to ensure cohesive care. This role offers substantial opportunities for professional growth within the specialty, including exposure to orthopedics, geriatrics, neuromuscular rehabilitation, and post-operative recovery pathways. In addition to competitive compensation, you’ll benefit from a signing bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities that recognize your commitment and clinical impact. The assignment provides 35 guaranteed hours per week with a competitive weekly pay range of $1,408-$1,519, starting on 12/15/2025 for an initial period of 13 weeks, with strong potential for extension based on performance and needs.
