Job description
FOX Rehabilitation is growing in Springfield, IL, and the surrounding area, and we’re looking for motivated, licensed Physical Therapist Assistants who want to make a hands-on difference in the lives of older adults. Working closely with a supervising Physical Therapist, you’ll carry out individualized treatment plans, guide patients through exercises and functional activities, and help them rebuild strength, mobility, and confidence, all through FOX’s signature Geriatric House Calls™ model, delivered where patients live. This position is located in one of our Senior Living Community partners.
