About This Role
This full-time day shift role has you working directly with patients in a physical therapy clinic setting. You'll assist licensed therapists by helping patients with exercises, mobility work, and recovery activities while documenting progress and maintaining treatment areas. The position offers a consistent daytime schedule, which means predictable hours and evenings/weekends off. Lovelace Health System provides tuition assistance for professional development, comprehensive health benefits, and paid time off as part of the package. This role suits someone with a PTA license or certification who enjoys hands-on patient care, has solid communication skills, and thrives in a structured healthcare environment. You should be comfortable with repetitive physical tasks and motivated by helping people regain mobility and function.

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.
