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.

Ideal for PTAs who want to keep learning, expand their skills, and be part of something special.

If you’re ready for a better career opportunity, we’d love to meet you.

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.

Your 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

Unlike many clinics:

• 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.

Who This Role Is Perfect For

This role is especially ideal for PTAs who are:

• Planning to pursue a PTA-to-PT bridge program
• Interested in advanced outpatient orthopedics
• Wanting strong mentorship early in their career
• Looking to specialize in niche programs
• Passionate about becoming elite with patients

Growth Opportunities / Specialty Tracks

Depending on interests and performance, future opportunities may include:

• Orthopedics / Sports Rehab
• Parkinson's disease Programs
• Balance / Fall Prevention
• Gait Training
• Amputee Rehab
• POTS / Autonomic Care
• Advanced musculoskeletal skill development
• Preparation toward Musculoskeletal A.P.P. certification pathways

What We’re Looking For

• Tennessee PTA license (or eligibility)
• Previous Bachelors degree in related field (Kinesiology or Exercise Science Ideal!)
• Positive attitude and professionalism
• Coachable mindset
• Strong people skills
• Work ethic and dependability
• Desire to grow clinically and personally
• Pride in delivering great patient experiences

Why Marino Physiotherapy?

• Boutique, patient-first model
• Mentorship and structured growth
• Weekly clinical education
• Advanced patient population
• Strong team culture
• Modern facility
• Direct access motivated patients
• A clinic where excellence matters

Location
Knoxville - outdoor lifestyle, growing city, strong community, and access to the Smokies.
