Peake Physical Therapy | 3338 Paper Mill Rd, Phoenix, MD 21131

Peake is a clinician-owned outpatient practice with five locations in the Baltimore area. Our PTAs are movement specialists and patient experience leaders, not an afterthought. We are looking for a PTA to join our Jacksonville clinic.

About the Role

  • Deliver treatment, coach exercise, and progress patients under PT direction
  • Build trust with patients across a mostly orthopedic and post-op caseload
  • Communicate clearly with the treating PT about load tolerance, symptom changes, and readiness to progress
  • Full-time (36+ hours) or part-time, with scheduling flexibility

Every new hire is paired with a mentor and gets a structured first 90 days. No sink or swim.

Pay: $30 to $40 per hour

What We Offer

  • Meaningful time with patients, not a rushed schedule
  • A defined onboarding program with daily debriefs in the first weeks
  • A team that treats PT/PTA collaboration as a partnership
  • Annual continuing education fund
  • Paid time off and paid holidays for full-time staff
  • Health insurance and a 401(k) with employer matching for eligible full-time staff
  • Growth into mentorship and leadership if that interests you

About You

  • Graduate of an accredited PTA program with an active (or pending) Maryland PTA license
  • Strong exercise coaching and cueing skills
  • Warm with patients and easy to work with
  • New grads are welcome
