Physical Therapist Assistant | Geriatrics (PACE program)

• San Jose, CA

We’re working on behalf of a healthcare organization whose PACE (All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program provides seniors with the opportunity to continue living in their homes and in their communities. The organization’s innovative and comprehensive range of medical services to participants is what ignites their passion to treat the whole person and not the symptoms. They employ a collaborative interdisciplinary team (IDT) approach to evaluate and guide participant care, which is key to their values, team culture, and mission. The organization has been operating in San Jose since January 2024 and has repeatedly been named one of America's Best Startup Employers by Forbes.

We seek candidates with two (2) years of experience with the frail and/or elderly population for the role of Physical Therapist Assistant. The person in this role will serve as an integral part of the IDT, collaborating with other members of the Rehabilitation team to implement care plans and provide direct care to participants. Under the direction of a Physical Therapist, the PTA provides restorative and rehabilitative physical therapy services to participants at the center and in their homes to maximize independence, safety, and to develop or restore function.

Candidates must have a PTA associate’s degree from an accredited program. Must have a valid PTA license, or proof of licenseeligibility. Must have PTA knowledge necessary to treat frail, elderly participants with complex needs.

The role offers a competitive compensation (salary to $106,300 based on experience) and excellent benefits that include medical insurance coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision) and 401-K savings + match. The role also provides great work/life balance - 17 days of personal time off (PTO), 12 holidays observed annually, and sick time. This is a great opportunity to join the fastest growing PACE program in California.
