Job description

Start your next adventure with the Aquacare Physical Therapy PLUS!

We are searching for a PART-TIME/PRN Physical Therapist Assistant to join our PT PLUS mobile rehab program.

Aquacare Physical Therapy PLUS is an innovative mobile rehab model that brings outpatient (Part B) therapy directly to patients' homes. It serves more active individuals focused on maintaining independence, recovering from orthopedic injuries, or achieving personal fitness goals. This role offers the advantage of spending more time with each patient and managing a smaller daily caseload compared to traditional outpatient clinics.

If you enjoy outpatient work but prefer fewer patient visits per day and the ability to provide personalized care without time constraints, this role is ideal for you!

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide outpatient-level therapy services to patients recovering from orthopedic surgeries (e.g., joint replacements, rotator cuff repairs, spinal procedures) or managing chronic musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., back pain, arthritis).
• Manage a diverse orthopedic caseload: treat injuries, pain, movement dysfunctions, and active older adults focused on mobility and injury prevention.
• Create personalized care plans emphasizing strength, mobility, balance, and pain reduction.
• Spend more one-on-one time with each patient, prioritizing quality care and patient-centered outcomes.
• Provide care in homes, parks, fitness centers, and community settings, ensuring sessions are functional and relevant to real-world activities.
• Collaborate with physicians, surgeons, and healthcare teams to coordinate care.

Is Aquacare PT PLUS the Right Fit for You?

This role is suitable for a physical therapist who:

• Enjoys outpatient work but prefers lower daily patient volume for more time per session.
• Has experience or interest in orthopedic rehab and musculoskeletal conditions.
• Thrives in autonomous, community-based settings with mobile care flexibility.
• Values patient-driven outcomes and creating personalized care plans.
• Likes working in varied environments like homes, parks, and fitness centers.

Physical Therapist Assistant Education and Experience (Required):

• Active PTA License: Licensed by the Maryland State Board of Physical Therapy Examiners and/or part of the PT Compact Program.
• Accredited Education: Graduate with at least an Associate's degree in a recognized physical therapy program by APTA.
• Driver Requirements: Valid driver’s license, current insurance, and a good driving record.
• Certification: PTA License (Required), CPR Certification (Preferred).
