Job description

Part-Time Physical Therapist Assistant

Work Inside a Practice Built Differently

Independent Living + Assisted Living + Memory Care

You Don't Have to Own the Practice to Work Somewhere That Feels Different.

Maybe you've worked in senior living before.

You know the routine:

See the resident.
Treat.
Document.
Move on.

Maybe you've wondered if there was a better way to practice.

We think there is.

Prava is powering therapist-owned practices inside senior living communities, and we're looking for a Part-Time Physical Therapist Assistant to join one of our Practice Owners.

This isn't a traditional PTA position.

You're joining someone who is building something.

One community.
Three levels of living.
A different way to practice.

You'll work across Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care, building relationships with residents and becoming part of the community.

You'll have the opportunity to see the full picture of senior living therapy—not just a diagnosis or a treatment session.

Maybe it's helping an Independent Living resident maintain the strength and confidence to stay active.

Maybe it's helping an Assisted Living resident safely navigate their daily routine.

Maybe it's working with a Memory Care resident on mobility, transfers, or participation in something that matters to them.

The goal isn't simply to complete therapy.

It's to help people keep doing what makes their lives theirs.

Go Where the Function Is.

We don't just work bankers' hours.

Because residents don't live bankers' hours.

Sometimes the most meaningful mobility work happens:

• Before dinner

• Walking to an activity

• Practicing a transfer during a real routine

• Navigating the community

• Building confidence in the environment where someone actually lives

We go where the function is.

What Makes Prava Different?

Your Practice Owner is building the clinical presence within the community.

Prava powers the practice behind them.

That means you get to work in practice with the infrastructure, technology, clinical standards, and operational support of Prava - without having to build the business yourself.

Your focus is what matters most:

Great Therapy.

Great Relationships.

Great Care.

Your Role

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Provide individualized PT interventions under the direction of the Physical Therapist

• Work with residents across Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care

• Address gait, balance, strength, transfers, endurance, and functional mobility

• Practice mobility in the environments where residents actually live

• Build relationships with residents, families, and care teams

• Partner with the Practice Owner to support the clinical program

• Carry therapy strategies into residents' everyday routines

• Contribute to a practice that is becoming part of the community - not simply visiting it

We're Looking for a PTA Who:

• Loves working with older adults

• Builds relationships naturally

• Believes mobility is about participation - not just distance

• Is comfortable working across Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care

• Is curious, collaborative, and self-directed

• Wants to practice in a community where their clinical voice matters

• Is excited by a therapy model that doesn't look like every other therapy model

You Don't Need to Be an Entrepreneur.

You don't need to own a practice.

You just need to want to work somewhere that someone is building something better.

Maybe you're not ready to own a practice.

That's okay.

Maybe you simply want to work for someone who is building one—with Prava behind it.

Come Work Inside a Practice Built Differently.

Come Practice PT Where Life Happens.

Come Practice Prava.
