Job description

Join Our Team as a Geriatric Physical Therapist Assistant – Make a Real Impact Every Day!

Schedule: Full-Time | Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm

Department: Geriatric Rehabilitation | PACE Program

Are you a compassionate Physical Therapist Assistant who thrives on helping older adults live safely and independently? Do you want to work within a mission-driven, interdisciplinary team? This is your chance to join a collaborative healthcare model that prioritizes whole-person care and long-term outcomes over volume-driven treatment.

Work alongside physicians, nurses, social workers, and rehabilitation professionals to support seniors in maintaining mobility, dignity, and quality of life.

The Role

Under the supervision of a Physical Therapist, you will:

• Implement individualized treatment plans focused on safety, independence, and functional mobility
• Provide therapeutic interventions including exercise, gait training, neuromuscular re-education, manual techniques, and physical modalities
• Educate participants and caregivers on assistive devices, mobility strategies, and adaptive equipment
• Lead and assist with group therapy sessions
• Collaborate with an interdisciplinary care team to ensure coordinated, high-quality care
• Document services accurately and maintain therapy equipment and supplies
• Travel locally to participant homes and multiple program sites as needed

Qualifications

• Associate’s degree from an accredited Physical Therapist Assistant program
• CPR and First Aid certification
• Valid California driver’s license, current vehicle insurance, and reliable transportation
• Experience with frail elderly or geriatric populations preferred
• Strong communication skills and collaborative approach

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Team-based, capitated care model focused on outcomes rather than productivity quotas
• Stable and growing program with long-term impact
• Meaningful patient relationships with continuity of care
• Competitive compensation based on experience

If you’re seeking a role where collaboration, compassion, and high-quality care truly matter, this could be your next step. Apply today!
