Job description

Outpatient Clinic

• Oklahoma City, OK
• Full-Time
• 45-57k/year

Therapitas has served Spanish-speaking families in Oklahoma since 2015 with one mission: ensuring Spanish-speaking children have the same access to quality therapy as any other child. If that mission matters to you, this role is worth reading.

We’re hiring a Pediatric Physical Therapy Assistant to join our multidisciplinary outpatient team in Oklahoma City. We provide trained interpreter support, so Spanish fluency is a plus, but not required.

Why Join Therapitas?

• Mission-Driven Work: Be part of a team that expands access to care and makes a meaningful difference for children and families.
• Work-Life Balance: Documentation gets done at work, not at home. We build documentation time into your schedule, protect your lunch hour, and use unfilled cancellations as additional documentation time.
• Structured Mentorship and Support: New hires go through a formal training and ramp-up period, with ongoing support through regular one‑on‑ones, documentation guidance, and professional development.
• Collaborative Team Environment: Work alongside experienced OTs, PTs, SLPs, and support staff who value teamwork, growth, and excellent care.
• A Sustainable Caseload: Most therapists carry about 23–28 hours of direct therapy per week, with caseloads built around experience and preferences.

What You’ll Do

• Implement treatment plans developed by a licensed Physical Therapist (PT).
• Provide skilled intervention to improve strength, mobility, motor development, and functional independence.
• Educate patients and caregivers on therapeutic activities and home programs to enhance progress.
• Document services in our easy‑to‑use EMR to meet clinical standards and payer requirements.
• Collaborate with OTs, SLPs, and other team members to provide coordinated, family‑centered care.
• Supervise Physical Therapy Assistant students.

What Your Caseload May Look Like

You’ll see mostly toddlers and school‑age children, with some infants and adolescents. Patients may range from 2 weeks to 20 years old. Common diagnoses include developmental delay, toe walking, torticollis/plagiocephaly, Down syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and other genetic or neurological conditions.

What We’re Looking For

• PTA degree from an accredited program
• Oklahoma PTA license or eligibility to obtain
• New grads and upcoming board exam candidates welcome
• Passion for working with children and families
• Strong work ethic, adaptability, and a team‑oriented mindset
• Mission‑driven approach to care
• Spanish‑speaking ability is a plus, but not required

What We Offer

• $45,000 – $57,000 / year based on schedule and experience
• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Supplemental Insurance
• 401(k)
• Generous PTO, paid holidays, and sick leave
• Continuing education and licensure assistance
• Monday–Friday schedule only

Join a team where your skills, growth, and passion make a difference!
