Job description

Pediatric Physical Therapy Assistant

Outpatient Clinic

• Oklahoma City, OK
• Full-Time
• 45-60k/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 – $60,000 / 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!
