We’re a fast-paced, patient-focused organization that values teamwork, professionalism, and continuous learning. Our diverse and driven staff are passionate about collaboration and committed to helping one another reach their highest potential, all while serving the community we’re proud to call home.

Our Core Values: Compassion, Integrity, Teamwork, Excellence, Growth, and Accountability.

The Opportunity

We are currently seeking a part-time physical therapy aide to join our physical therapy team. This position provides day-to-day support to our licensed Physical Therapists while helping patients feel comfortable, prepared, and supported throughout their appointments.

The Physical Therapy Aide is an important part of keeping our clinic running efficiently. You’ll spend much of your day working directly with patients, preparing treatment spaces, assisting with therapist-directed activities, and making sure equipment and supplies are ready for each appointment.

We’re looking for someone who brings a positive attitude, communicates well with patients and coworkers, and is comfortable staying active throughout a busy clinic day. Because many of the patients we serve are Spanish-speaking, bilingual English/Spanish candidates are strongly preferred.

Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Prepare treatment areas and exercise stations for scheduled patients
• Assist patients with exercises and activities according to instructions provided by a licensed Physical Therapist
• Provide support during walking, balance, and mobility activities when directed by the therapist

• Prepare basic treatment items such as hot and cold packs as instructed
• Monitor frequently used supplies and help keep treatment areas properly stocked
• Welcome patients and help them navigate their therapy visits
• Communicate with Physical Therapists and other team members to help keep appointments moving efficiently
• Provide occasional front office support, including answering phones and assisting with scheduling when needed

Patient Experience & Safety

As a Physical Therapy Aide, you’ll have regular interaction with patients throughout their course of care. We expect every team member to communicate with patience, professionalism, and respect while helping create an environment where patients feel comfortable during their rehabilitation.

You’ll be responsible for following clinic safety and cleanliness procedures, maintaining patient confidentiality under HIPAA, and communicating any patient concerns or changes to the appropriate clinical team member.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred
• Previous experience as a Physical Therapy Aide, Rehab Aide, Rehabilitation Technician, or in another patient-facing healthcare position is preferred but not required
• Strong verbal communication and interpersonal skills
• Comfortable interacting directly with patients of different ages and mobility levels
• Able to stay organized while handling multiple responsibilities
• Dependable, punctual, and willing to take initiative
• Able to follow instructions and work closely with licensed Physical Therapists
• Positive, team-oriented approach to patient care

This physical therapy aide position is a great opportunity for someone interested in gaining experience in an outpatient physical therapy environment while making a direct impact on the patient experience.
