Job description

Pediatric Physical Therapy Assistant

Outpatient Clinic

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

Therapitas is a nonprofit that has served Spanish‑speaking families in Oklahoma since 2009 with one mission: ensuring Spanish‑speaking children have the same access to quality therapy as any other child.

We’re hiring a Pediatric Physical Therapy Assistant to join our multidisciplinary outpatient team in Oklahoma City. The ability to speak Spanish is not required. We provide trained interpreter support.

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.
• Document services in our easy‑to‑use EMR.
• Collaborate with OTs, SLPs, and other team members to provide coordinated, family‑centered care.
• Supervise Physical Therapy Assistant students.

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.
• Mission‑driven approach to care.

What We Offer

• $45,000 – $57,000 / year based on schedule and experience.
• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Supplemental Insurance.
• 401(k) matching.
• Generous PTO, paid holidays, and sick leave from day one, not accrual‑based.
• Continuing education and licensure assistance.
