About This Role
Step Up Rehab is seeking a Physical Therapy Assistant for their Port Charlotte skilled nursing facility location. This is a PRN (as-needed) position offering schedule flexibility, making it ideal for PTAs who want to balance work with personal commitments. You'll work directly with patients in a SNF setting, assisting with therapeutic exercises, mobility training, and rehabilitation activities under the supervision of licensed physical therapists. The role suits PTAs with current credentials who are reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in patient outcomes. While the position is PRN, full-time employees enjoy benefits including CEU reimbursement, 401(k) matching, substantial PTO, and a $1,000 referral bonus program. This is a straightforward patient care role in a facility focused on maintaining quality standards.

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.
