Job Description

Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)

Full-Time | The Radcliff | Wood Dale, Illinois

You’re not just joining a therapy team. You’re becoming part of a community. At Prava, we believe therapy in senior living should feel different. It shouldn't be about walking into a building, seeing a list of patients, completing treatments, and walking back out. It should be about

knowing the people you serve. We’re looking for a

full-time Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)

to join our team at

The Radcliff in Wood Dale, Illinois

—a family-owned senior living community offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care. The Radcliff is built around personalized care, connection, independence, and helping residents continue to live meaningful lives. Their philosophy is centered on meeting residents where they are and adapting support as their needs evolve. That is exactly how we believe therapy should work. What you'll do

As a Prava PTA, you'll work alongside the Physical Therapist to deliver exceptional, functional therapy to residents throughout the community. You'll: Provide skilled physical therapy interventions under the direction and supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist

Treat residents across Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care

But here's what makes this different.

You’ll have a community—not just a caseload. At The Radcliff, residents are encouraged to remain active and engaged through fitness, activities, social programs, gardening, creative programs, dining, and community events. Your job is to help residents continue participating in those things. Maybe it's helping someone safely walk to the pub. Maybe it's getting someone strong enough to participate in an exercise class. Maybe it's improving balance so a resident can confidently navigate the community. Maybe it's helping someone return to an activity they stopped doing because mobility became difficult. Those are therapy outcomes. We want you to see the person behind the diagnosis and understand what matters to them. The PTA we're looking for
