Physical Therapist Assistant

Post Rehabilitation Services at Civita Care Center at Newington is hiring a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) for a full‑time role in our skilled nursing facility. Join a respected team delivering personalized care to residents. Why Choose to Work as a PTA in a Skilled Nursing Facility? Working in an SNF offers unique rewards that many Physical Therapist Assistants find deeply fulfilling: Build lasting relationships with residents and see meaningful, long‑term progress in mobility, strength, balance, and daily independence; helping them regain the ability to walk, transfer safely, and participate in activities they love. Enjoy a diverse caseload with varied diagnoses, allowing you to implement hands‑on treatments and functional exercises, often more rewarding than faster‑paced acute settings. Collaborate closely in a supportive interdisciplinary team (with PTs, OTs, SLPs, nursing, and more), where you play a key role in carrying out plans, reporting progress, and directly improving resident quality of life while preventing complications like falls. Benefit from strong job stability, competitive pay potential in nursing facilities, and the chance to make a real difference in geriatric and post‑acute care amid growing demand for skilled mobility support. Responsibilities Assist the supervising Physical Therapist in evaluating patient status, observing during/after treatments, and reporting progress or changes. Implement individualized treatment plans as a PTA, including therapeutic exercises, gait training, manual techniques, stretching, and use of assistive devices like walkers or canes. Set clear goals with patients, educate them and families on expectations, and build understanding of their rehab process. Counsel patients and families while maintaining precise documentation for all visits, treatments, and outcomes.
