Job description

About Us

HireHawk builds high-performing remote teams for U.S. and Canadian companies, connecting skilled professionals worldwide with meaningful, long-term work. We’re outcomes-first, detail-obsessed, and we hire people who take ownership—because our clients’ cases and timelines depend on it.

About the Role:

At our Stanton clinic, you’ll provide hands-on outpatient orthopedic treatment in a role where current manual therapy skills matter more than a fixed number of years of experience. You’ll spend the first 30 minutes of each approximately one-hour visit one-on-one with the patient, followed by aide support.

This opportunity suits a PTA who enjoys direct patient interaction and is comfortable adopting EMR systems, AI-assisted documentation, and new workflows.

Salary: Approximately $5,833-$7,083 in monthly base pay, equivalent to roughly $70,000-$85,000 annually.

Responsibilities

• Deliver hands-on manual therapy as a central part of outpatient orthopedic patient care.
• Make the first 30 minutes of each visit focused, one-on-one treatment time.
• Help patients feel comfortable and engaged through clear explanations and personable communication.
• Support smooth transitions to the aide-assisted portion of each approximately one-hour visit.
• Maintain clear, current treatment documentation using the clinic’s EMR and documentation workflows.
• Learn and adopt AI-assisted documentation and other technologies introduced into the clinic’s workflow.

Must-Have:

• An active California Physical Therapist Assistant license.
• Recent, ongoing clinical manual therapy experience. School-only exposure or older experience without recent practice is not sufficient.
• Manual therapy experience beyond skilled nursing or home health; experience limited to those settings does not meet the role’s requirements.
• Strong hands-on treatment skills and a patient-focused, personable communication style.
• Comfort adopting EMR systems, AI-assisted documentation, and new technologies or workflows.
• Availability to work on-site in Stanton, Monday-Friday, within the clinic’s scheduling window.

Nice to Have:

• Outpatient orthopedic experience, particularly in a manual therapy-focused physical therapy setting.
