Job Description

Job Description

Step into a key role supporting students across multiple campuses as a Physical Therapist or experienced Physical Therapist Assistant. This contract opportunity runs through the end of the academic year, providing meaningful services in a dynamic school environment. The position is full-time, requiring a commitment of 37.5 hours per week, with a typical schedule from either 8:00-4:00 or 7:30-3:30 depending on campus needs. You’ll primarily work on-site within a large K-12 student population, helping students reach their full physical potential.

Your caseload will consist of 160 students (50 receiving direct therapy), collaborating with another PT to ensure individualized attention. You’ll be based from a district office and travel between schools within the district’s southwest Houston service area.

What we’re looking for:

• Licensed Physical Therapist in Texas, or a highly experienced PTA with substantial prior school or pediatric experience
• Familiarity with Frontline and SuccessEd documentation systems
• Prior experience supporting K-12 students
• Ability to drive between local schools and manage a flexible, multi-campus caseload
• Strong collaboration and communication skills
• Completion of state fingerprinting/background check
• Must not have worked for this district previously
• Must disclose any prior school district terminations (affidavit required as part of credentialing)

In this engaging school setting, you’ll make a real impact through partnership and creative solutions. The district fosters support for clinicians, offering the ability to use the district office as a home base for organization and team connections.

The district needs to move quickly in credentialing, including fingerprint background check requirements, so if you’re ready for a rewarding assignment serving diverse students and have the necessary licensure and experience, apply today to play a significant part in students’ educational journeys!
