Job Summary
Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) – Unique Growth Opportunity (PTA License Required)
Marino Physiotherapy | Knoxville, TN
Are you a PTA who wants more than a routine PTA job? This is NOT your typical PTA position.
Marino Physiotherapy is seeking a motivated Physical Therapist Assistant to join our growing outpatient orthopedic clinic in Knoxville. This role offers mentorship, hands‑on learning, and a clear path for professional learning and growth. Work directly with experienced clinicians in a supportive, upbeat environment focused on quality care - not rushed volume.
What Makes This Role Different
This is not a “thrown into a caseload and hope you survive” position.
This is a development‑focused role designed to help you grow step‑by‑step with mentorship, training, and real clinical exposure.
Initial Role Includes
- Clinical support / treatment / tech duties
- Administrative support and patient flow coordination
- Documentation assistance / scribing
- Hands‑on learning beside experienced clinicians
- Weekly education and skill‑building sessions
- Direct one‑on‑one mentorship
As your skills progress, you will transition into increasing PTA treatment responsibility and be paired with a PT to help manage a shared caseload.
Our Treatment Model
- Every patient is seen 1-on-1 each visit
- PTAs receive regular collaboration, guidance, and progression planning
- Team‑based care is the norm
- Quality and outcomes come first
This creates a strong learning environment where PTAs can continue developing instead of feeling professionally isolated.
