AID Performance Physical Therapy is seeking a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant who wants a consistent, genuinely part-time position in an independent outpatient orthopedic and sports medicine clinic.
This opportunity may be an excellent fit for an experienced PTA returning to patient care, balancing work with family or other responsibilities, or looking to add predictable outpatient hours to an existing PRN schedule.
We can structure the position around two or three recurring weekday blocks, including hours that align with the school day. Additional hours may be available but are not required.
About the Position
The PTA will primarily provide follow-up treatments after the clinic owner has completed the patient’s evaluation and established the plan of care.
You will work collaboratively with the supervising physical therapist to implement and progress appropriate interventions, collect objective measurements, monitor patient responses, and communicate changes in clinical status.
The clinic owner will remain responsible for evaluations, reevaluations, plans of care, discharge decisions, and overall management of each patient’s physical therapy care.
