Your workweek runs 37.5 hours, with flexibility between common school start/finish times.

Your responsibilities will involve case management, documentation in Frontline and SuccessEd, and working with students and staff to enhance access, participation, and function within the educational environment.

What We're Looking For:

• Current Texas Physical Therapy license (PT or PTA)
• Experience in school settings strongly preferred; pediatric background highly valued
• Proficient with required school documentation platforms or willingness to learn
• Capable of independently managing multiple campuses
• Must have completed, or be willing to complete, required state and district fingerprint/background checks
• Candidates who are former employees of the district or who have been terminated from any school district are not eligible (disclosure required via affidavit)
• Exceptional communication and organizational skills

Primary Responsibilities:

• Provide assessments, direct services, and consultative support for K–12 students with diverse needs
• Document services and progress in required systems
• Collaborate with educators and families to implement IEP-related goals
• Travel between schools with mileage between sites as part of your routine (district office available as base)
• Maintain compliance with all regulatory and credentialing requirements

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to educational success and student development over a full school year. Ready to make a positive impact in a supportive environment? Apply today to begin your journey toward meaningful school-based practice!
