About the Role
You’ll provide hands-on outpatient orthopedic treatment in a full-time, direct-hire position at our Santa Ana clinic. During each approximately one-hour appointment, you’ll work one-on-one with the patient for the first 30 minutes, followed by aide support for the remainder of the visit. This opportunity is built for a PTA who actively uses manual therapy in clinical practice and wants it to remain a core part of their work, not an occasional add-on.
- Monthly Salary (USD): Approximately $5,833–$7,083/month
Schedule
- Monday-Friday, with no weekend shifts.
- Eight working hours plus a one-hour lunch, typically 7:00 AM-4:00 PM or 8:00 AM-5:00 PM.
- Depending on the assigned schedule, shifts may start as early as 7:00 AM or end as late as 6:00 PM. All hours are Pacific Time.

- Deliver hands-on manual therapy as a central component of outpatient orthopedic treatment.

- Coordinate with aides to support a smooth transition through the remainder of each patient’s visit.
- Maintain clear treatment documentation using the clinic’s EMR and AI-assisted documentation tools.
- Learn and apply new clinic technologies and workflows while keeping patient care at the center of your work.

- Strong interpersonal skills and a patient-focused approach to communication.
- Comfort learning and adapting to the clinic’s EMR, AI-assisted documentation tools, and workflows.
