Physical Therapy Assistant-Outpatient/Home Outpatient

Join Us At Rivetus Rehab!

As a PTA in this role, you will become an integral teammate in our continuum of care, where we offer 1-on-1 outpatient therapy and 1-on-1 Home-Based outpatient therapy to patients from outside of the SNF!

Why choose the hybrid role of OP/HOME-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 OP/Home OP role allows you to flex your treatment muscles and see a wide range of diagnoses and treatment approaches! 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! In addition, you will have the opportunity to provide outpatient services to patients in their homes as part of our "Outpatient Bridge Program". 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:

• 1-on-1 outpatient therapy-no double booking or overlapped visits!
• Consistent caseloads
• 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 schedules
