Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)

Job Description Job Description FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers in Chapel Hill is seeking a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) who values patient-centered care, clinical autonomy, and meaningful outcomes in an owner-led outpatient clinic.
We believe the best results happen when patients are truly heard and clinicians are trusted to think. Our clinic is intentionally designed around 1-on-1 treatment , individualized care, and outcomes—not volume, checkboxes, or rigid protocols. PTAs here are given the time, space, and professional respect needed to treat patients thoughtfully and effectively.
If you prefer high-volume, protocol-driven clinics, this is not the right role.
How We Care for Patients 1-on-1 treatment with patients—no overlapping visits

No mandated treatment formulas or micromanaged supervising structure

Clinical staff actively contribute to clinic policies and workflows

Leadership works to align patient populations with clinicians’ interests and career goals

Independence is paired with professionalism, accountability, and mutual respect

Who Thrives Here Passion for patient-centered, one-on-one care

Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of outcomes

Curious, thoughtful, and adaptable in clinical decision-making

Interested in growing with a small, stable, owner-led clinic

What We Offer Competitive compensation

$3,000 hiring bonus after 90 days of employment

Annual tuition reimbursement for continuing education and relevant certifications

A collaborative, experienced clinical team

Modern outpatient orthopedic and balance-focused environment

A clinic culture that prioritizes patients and clinicians

If you’re a PTA who wants to practice real one-on-one care, be trusted as a professional, and celebrate patient outcomes—not productivity metrics—we’d love to talk.
