Working under the guidance of a PhysicalTherapist and as a valued member of our Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), you'll bring therapeutic care to life-delivering compassionate, hands-on support tailored to each participant's unique goals.
This is more than a clinical role-it's an opportunity to truly connect. You'll build meaningful relationships, support whole-person care, and make a lasting difference in the lives of frail seniors. Whether you're helping a participant walk more confidently, recover from a hospitalization, or simply stay active and engaged, your care will be essential to their ability to thrive at home and in the community they love.
If you find joy in helping others move forward-literally and figuratively-and you're inspired by mission-driven work in a collaborative, supportive environment, we'd love to welcome you to the team.What Does Success Look Like In This Role?
Hands-On Healing: Deliver one-on-one, personalized therapy interventions following care plans created by the PhysicalTherapist.
Mobility Mentorship: Guide participants through therapeutic exercises, balance training, gait support, and physical modalities that improve daily function and quality of life.
Attentive Observation: Monitor participants during sessions, track progress, and share valuable insights with the PhysicalTherapist to support continuous care planning.
Respectful, Person-Centered Care: Create a safe, comforting, and empowering space during each session-adapting your techniques to each individual's needs.
Supportive Education: Teach participants and caregivers how to safely use assistive devices, practice mobility techniques, and follow home exercise programs with confidence.
Collaborative Spirit: Work closely with the PhysicalTherapist and other members of the Interdisciplinary Team to ensure coordinated, holistic care for every participant.
Continuity of Care: Support transitions between home, hospital, or skilled nursing settings by helping ensure therapy services stay on track and goals are maintained.
Welcoming Environment: Keep therapy spaces clean, organized, and inviting-creating a place where participants feel safe and supported.
Reliable Documentation: Accurately record interventions and participant responses in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) in accordance with PACE, state, and federal requirements.
Team Engagement: Actively participate in daily huddles, team meetings, and training sessions to stay informed, aligned, and inspired.
Flexible Support: Step in to assist with other participant care or team needs as they arise-bringing a helpful attitude and a willingness to contribute wherever you're most needed.
What Does An Ideal Candidate Look Like?
Qualified & Ready to Care: Graduate of an accredited PTA program with an active California license (or ability to obtain one).
Prepared for the Unexpected: CPR certification (or willingness to obtain within 30 days of hire).
Experienced in Geriatric Care: At least 2 years of PTA experience, preferably with older adults or medically complex participants.
Rooted in Purpose: A genuine passion for supporting frail older adults through compassionate, person-centered care.
Strong Communicator: Ability to engage participants, caregivers, and teammates with empathy, clarity, and positivity.
Adaptable Clinician: Comfortable adjusting interventions based on participant needs, goals, and physical capacity.
Confident in Hands-On Support: Skilled in mobility assistance, transfers, and therapeutic interventions.
Detail-Oriented Documenter: Organized and timely when it comes to recording care in the EMR and managing schedules.
Tech-Savvy: Proficient with electronic medical records and basic computer applications.
Reliable Teammate: Punctual, dependable, and always ready to pitch in with a kind and can-do attitude.

On Your Feet & On the Move: Expect frequent walking, standing, bending, reaching, and movement throughout the day as you guide participants through therapy sessions and navigate the clinic.

Office-Based Work: When not delivering hands-on care, you'll document therapy sessions, collaborate with team members, and participate in care planning in an office setting equipped with EMR systems and communication tools.
Home & Community Visits: Occasionally, you'll support therapy or mobility assessments in participants' homes or other care settings (such as skilled nursing facilities or hospitals), helping ensure smooth transitions and consistent care.
Travel Between Locations: Some travel between program sites or participant homes may be required. Flexibility and reliable transportation are important to support care continuity across settings.
Team-Driven Culture: You'll be part of a warm, collaborative interdisciplinary team-including nurses, physicians, social workers, activity coordinators, and fellow therapists-working together to provide whole-person, mission-driven care.
Participant-Centered: Every day, you'll build meaningful relationships with older adults and their caregivers, empowering them to regain strength, confidence, and independence.
