Position Overview
We are seeking a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant to join an established outpatient orthopedic clinic in Stanton, California.
This position is ideal for a PTA with recent, hands-on manual therapy experience who wants to work in a collaborative environment where manual treatment is a meaningful part of the patient-care model-not simply an occasional addition to exercise-based care.
The PTA works directly with each patient for the first 30 minutes of the visit before transitioning the patient to an aide for the remainder of the session. Patients are typically in the clinic for approximately one hour.
Patient Care Model Outpatient orthopedic setting
Strong emphasis on manual therapy
First 30 minutes of each visit provided one-on-one by the PTA
Remaining treatment completed with support from a trained aide
Approximately one hour of total clinic time per patient
Collaborative care provided under the direction of a licensed Physical Therapist
Modern EMR with AI-assisted documentation
Responsibilities Implement treatment plans established by the supervising Physical Therapist
Provide skilled manual therapy and therapeutic interventions
Guide patients through appropriate therapeutic exercises
Monitor patient response and communicate progress or concerns to the Physical Therapist
Educate patients regarding exercises and treatment recommendations
Coordinate patient transitions to clinic aides when appropriate
Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation
Use the clinic's EMR and AI-assisted documentation tools
Collaborate with Physical Therapists, aides, and other team members to provide a consistent patient experience
Minimum Qualifications Active California Physical Therapist Assistant license
Current CPR certification or ability to renew as required
Recent, ongoing manual therapy experience
Comfortable learning new technology, documentation tools, and clinical workflows
Strong communication, organization, and patient-care skills
Collaborative and team-oriented approach
There is no strict minimum number of years of experience. Recent outpatient orthopedic and manual therapy experience is more important than total time in the field.
Candidates whose only manual therapy exposure occurred several years ago, during school, or in a skilled nursing or home health setting may not have the current hands-on background needed for this position.
Compensation Approximately $72,000-$85,000 annually
Additional productivity bonus based on patient volume
Final compensation will be based on experience, manual therapy skills, and overall fit
Benefits Health insurance through Anthem or Kaiser HMO/PPO plans
Employer pays 50% of the health insurance premium
HSA and FSA options
Employee-paid dental insurance through MetLife, typically approximately $20-$40 per month
Employee-paid vision insurance through Anthem, typically approximately $20 per month
10 PTO days during the first year, increasing to a maximum of 15 days by year three
Five paid sick days
Six paid holidays:
New Year's Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
Approximately $1,000 in annual continuing education support, including an $800 allowance and MedBridge subscription
401(k) program
Reimbursement for California PTA license renewal
Reimbursement for CPR renewal
Team and Culture
The clinic offers a collaborative, team-focused environment with regular opportunities for employees to connect outside of daily patient care. Team-building activities are held approximately once a week, with several company-wide gatherings throughout the year, including a summer event and an annual Christmas party.
Interview Process
The interview process includes:
An initial phone interview to discuss experience and overall fit
An in-person interview that includes an assessment of manual therapy skills, patient interaction, and salary expectations
The practice generally aims to respond to candidate submissions within 48 hours.
