Physical Therapy Assistant-SNF and Outpatient

Join Us At Rivetus Rehab!

Skilled Nursing & Outpatient Therapy! As a PTA in this role, you will become an integral teammate in our continuum of care, where we offer SNF therapy as well as 1-on-1 outpatient therapy to patients from outside of the SNF! Why choose the hybrid role of SNF/OP? This position is great for any therapist - from a new grad who wants to get exposure to a variety of settings, to a seasoned therapist who is excited about providing a wide range of treatments. The SNF/OP role allows you to flex your treatment muscles and see a wide range of diagnoses and treatment approaches! In the SNF, you can expect to provide 1-on-1 treatments, concurrent therapy, and group therapy as appropriate; and on the OP side you can expect to provide 1-on-1 sessions for 45-60 minutes in the beautifully updated outpatient gym we have at our Woodward Hills facility! This role generally has a consistent outpatient schedule that will flex with SNF time as caseloads fluctuate, meaning you don't have to worry about inconsistent hours!

Rivetus has been serving the geriatric Post-Acute community since 1998. We are a specialized rehabilitation company operated and managed at the executive level by licensed clinicians. Our perspective is unique in providing continuity of care across the health care continuum in the Skilled Nursing, Home Health, and Outpatient settings.

Benefits:

• Consistent caseloads - if outpatient is low, you'll have more SNF hours!
• Ability to grow your skill set as a clinician and take on new projects
• Challenge your skillset and have a wide range of diagnoses and treatment plans
• Flexible schedule
• Mentorship with strong clinical support and expertise
• Opportunity to expand into other settings

Facility Location: Woodward Hills - 39312 N Woodward Ave Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304. This is a hybrid role providing outpatient therapy services in conjunction with SNF based therapy services. Outpatient and SNF services are paid at an hourly rate.
