Physical Therapist Assistant

Outpatient Pediatric Physical Therapist

Position Overview

Join a hospital-based outpatient clinic offering comprehensive physical therapy services. You'll work in a full-service pediatric PT setting, treating patients with developmental delays, torticollis, cerebral palsy, and orthopedic injuries. This is an independent role—you'll manage your own caseload and assessments.

Schedule & Contract

• Shift: Monday–Friday, 9:30 AM–6:00 PM (5×8 hours)
• Contract Duration: 13–26 weeks
• Start Date: ASAP
• On-Call: No
• Float Required: No
• Call-Offs: Facility may call off 1 shift per 2 weeks

Requirements

• Minimum 1 year pediatric PT experience (first-timers accepted if independent)
• Valid California PT license
• BLS certification
• Proficiency with pediatric assessments (PDMS-2 preferred)
• Medical-based outpatient or home health experience strongly preferred

Clinical Scope

Daily caseload of 7–8 patients per hour. You'll evaluate, treat, and discharge patients independently. Acute care experience is valued—therapists may float into the acute hospital if outpatient census is low. You'll work with adaptive equipment, AROM/AAROM/PROM techniques, and develop home exercise programs.
