(flexible to change according to other commitments you may have) We use AI-assisted documentation tools, and documentation time is part of the workday. The goal is that notes are finished before you leave. Front desk and billing staff handle scheduling, insurance verification, and authorizations; PTs and trained aides support clinical flow. About the Clinic We’re a therapist-owned clinic with a small team of physical therapists, PTAs, aides, and dedicated front desk staff. The caseload is general outpatient orthopedics with steady referral volume — post-surgical patients, athletes, and active older adults — so you’d be busy from the start rather than building a schedule from zero. We’re planning a second location; this role is an addition to the team, not a backfill, with room to grow as the practice expands. What the Job Involves Delivering individualized, evidence-based interventions under each supervising PT’s plan of care. Managing an assigned outpatient orthopedic caseload and communicating patient response and progress to the supervising PT. Keeping documentation accurate, timely, and payer-compliant. Collaborating with PTs, aides, front desk staff, patients, and families to support continuity of care. Participating in team meetings and in-services and contributing ideas that improve care and clinic flow. Qualifications Associate degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant from a CAPTE-accredited program. California PTA license, active or pending. New grads are welcome to apply before licensure comes through. Current BLS/CPR certification. Outpatient orthopedic experience and Spanish are both helpful but not required.
