Help Patients Regain Mobility and Independence

Independence Rehab is hiring a Full-Time Physical Therapist Assistant to join our therapy team serving Everett Transitional Care Services in Everett.

This is a great opportunity for you to work with patients across short-term transitional rehabilitation and skilled nursing care without traveling between facilities.

As a PTA, you'll work closely with the supervising Physical Therapist to deliver hands-on therapy that helps patients regain functional mobility.
