Overview:
Outpatient Physical Therapy Clinic is seeking a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant for Full-time or Part-Time Work (approx 20-30 hrs. per week) . We are searching for that special Therapist who is looking to grow in the field, both professionally and financially. As we continuously expand our services and programs, we are looking to compliment our dynamic team with another exceptional professional. Must have great communication skills, extremely confident in treating an orthopedic caseload and want to make a difference in an outpatient setting....without being micro-managed. We just put a pool in at our new location and we are looking for someone to either come in and work that area, or work in our outpatient clinic.
