Full Job Description
  • Role: Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA)
  • Schedule: Full-time Monday-Friday + occasional weekends (as needed)
  • Location: Field Based
  • Compensation (Productivity Points): $58.00 / point | $75,000-$100,000/year


The PTA role is a core part of that mission: you help restore function, keep patients safe at home, and drive real outcomes - in partnership with a supervising PT.

We also build technology to support field clinicians. Our charting product reduces documentation burden, and our scheduling product (launching soon) will make routing and visit coordination easier - protecting your time.

What you will do:
  • Deliver skilled PTA visits in the home under the supervising PT's plan of care.
  • Execute treatment plans with a focus on functional mobility and measurable progress: gait/balance, transfers, strengthening, functional mobility, home safety, fall prevention.
  • Set/track objective progress within PTA scope and communicate updates/concerns to the supervising PT.
  • Drive multidisciplinary coordination: escalate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
  • Coach patients and caregivers with practical home programs that actually get done.
  • Document promptly and thoroughly - defensible, efficient, and consistent.


Must-haves
  • Active Colorado PTA license (in good standing)
  • Strong clinical judgment and comfort working independently in the field (within PTA scope and under PT supervision)
  • Comfortable escalating changes in condition to PT/RN/MD and documenting rationale clearly
  • Strong communication and documentation
  • Reliable follow-through on treatment plans, visit cadence, and patient goals
  • Current driver's license and comfort with daily travel across assigned territory
  • Able to carry/transport basic therapy equipment as needed
  • Competency in core home health PTA scope
    • Safety-first mobility work: transfers, gait training, balance/fall prevention, assistive device education
    • Strengthening, functional mobility, and home safety assessment/modification education
    • Patient/caregiver coaching with practical home programs


Nice-to-haves
  • Prior home health experience
  • Deeper clinical experience in high-signal ortho/neuro populations
  • Strong organization and time management


The rest of the package
  • Full-time target: ~30 productivity points/week; clinicians earn more for exceeding it.
  • Referral bonuses (we're growing)!
  • Benefits for full-time (medical/dental/vision, PTO)
  • Car Program - employee contributions required
