About This Role
This position offers Physical Therapist Assistants the chance to work in an outpatient orthopedic setting with direct control over their schedule and income. You'll manage your own caseload of patients, with earnings tied to the number of visits you complete rather than a fixed salary—allowing high performers to maximize their take-home pay. The role is flexible, giving you autonomy over when and how much you work while supporting patients recovering from musculoskeletal injuries. You'll need current PTA licensure and experience in orthopedic rehabilitation to succeed. This suits candidates who are self-motivated, want to take charge of their career trajectory, and thrive in a results-focused environment where effort directly translates to earnings.

Frequently asked questions
What license do I need to apply?
An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.
Is this a school-year or year-round position?
School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.
What experience is expected?
Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
