About the Position

We are seeking a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) to join an established outpatient orthopedic physical therapy clinic in Stanton, California. This is an excellent opportunity for a PTA who enjoys hands-on patient care and has recent experience with manual therapy.

Patients typically spend approximately one hour in the clinic.

• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation
• Learn and utilize the clinic's EMR and AI-assisted documentation tools

• PTA degree from an accredited program
• Recent, hands-on manual therapy experience strongly preferred
• Outpatient orthopedic physical therapy experience preferred
• Strong patient communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work effectively as part of a collaborative clinical team
• Comfortable learning new technology, EMR systems, and AI-assisted documentation tools

Schedules include an 8-hour workday and a 1-hour lunch. This is a salaried position with some flexibility when patient care requires staying slightly later.

• Medical insurance through Anthem or Kaiser HMO/PPO plans
