Coast Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine is looking for a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant to join our outpatient orthopedic team in Chico.

We have an immediate need for additional coverage due to an upcoming maternity leave. While we would ideally like to add the right person to our team on a full-time, permanent basis, we are also open to a PTA who is interested in temporary coverage, part-time work, or simply adding additional hours to their current schedule.

If you're happy where you are but have considered a change—or are simply interested in learning more—we're happy to have a confidential conversation.

About Coast

Coast Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine is an established, locally owned outpatient physical therapy practice that has served the Chico community for nearly 30 years.

We are a therapist-owned private practice with a strong reputation for personalized, evidence-based care. Our team treats a broad orthopedic and sports medicine population, including post-operative rehabilitation, sports injuries, spine and extremity conditions, balance and mobility problems, and patients working to return to an active lifestyle.

We believe excellent patient care and a good work environment should go together. We value our employees, respect our patients' time, and strive to create a clinic where clinicians can enjoy coming to work and focus on taking great care of people.

What the Position Looks Like

Our PTAs work closely with our physical therapists to provide one-on-one treatment within an established plan of care.

We are looking for someone who is:

• A licensed Physical Therapist Assistant in California, or eligible for California licensure

• Personable, dependable and professional

• Comfortable treating a diverse outpatient orthopedic population

• A strong communicator and team member

• Focused on providing excellent patient care

• Interested in being part of a positive, collaborative clinic environment

New graduates are welcome to apply.

Schedule & Employment Options

We have flexibility depending on the right candidate.

Full-time is preferred, but we are also interested in talking with PTAs who may be looking for:

• Part-time hours

• Temporary maternity-leave coverage

• Additional hours alongside another position

• A temporary position that could develop into permanent employment

If you're interested but aren't sure whether your availability fits what we're looking for, we'd still encourage you to reach out.

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive hourly compensation based on experience.

For eligible full-time employees, Coast offers a benefits package that includes:

• Health insurance contribution

• Paid time off

• 401(k)

• Consistent hours and scheduling

• Supportive, experienced clinical team

• Established private-practice environment

Why Coast?

We aren't a large hospital system or corporate therapy chain. We're a locally owned practice where relationships—with our patients and with each other—matter.

Many members of our team have been with Coast for years, and we want to find someone who fits our culture as much as our clinical needs. xhyhwjd
