Physical Therapist Assistant

Full Job Description

Build a Career Where Your Growth Is Taken Seriously

You did not become a Physical Therapist Assistant just to move patients through exercises, meet productivity numbers, and repeat the same routine every day.

You became a PTA to help people move better, regain their independence, and return to the activities that matter most to them, to get back to what they love!

At Surge Mobile Physical Therapy, you will work alongside clinicians who are committed to improving their skills, achieving meaningful patient outcomes, and becoming better both professionally and personally.

We are hiring a full-time Physical Therapist Assistant for our growing outpatient clinic in Port Isabel, Texas.

Whether you are a new graduate looking for training or an experienced PTA ready for greater responsibility and career advancement, you will have the support and opportunities needed to keep moving forward.

What You Will Receive

• Target annual compensation of $60,000
• Bonus opportunities based on performance
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Monthly clinical education and skills training
• Structured Mentorship
• Career advancement and leadership opportunities
• Wellness resources
• Free uniforms
• Company parties and team events
• Monday through Friday schedule
• No on-call responsibilities
• Support staff to help you focus on patient care

Develop Skills That Move Your Career Forward

We believe clinical development will continue long after graduation.

Our clinical team meets monthly for hands-on education covering topics such as:

• Joint mobilization
• Neurodynamics
• Exercise progression and regression
• Blood flow restriction
• Therapeutic modalities
• Patient communication and education
• Clinical decision-making

You will also have access to ongoing continuing education, mindset development, professional networking, and career training throughout the year.

We do not want you to remain in the same position forever. With the right performance, attitude, and commitment, you can pursue leadership opportunities, help supervise and develop team members, and potentially grow into clinic-level responsibilities.

What Your Day Will Look Like

As a Physical Therapist Assistant, you will collaborate closely with licensed Physical Therapists to carry out individualized plans of care and help patients achieve measurable improvements.

You will:

• Guide patients through therapeutic exercises, stretches, and functional activities
• Provide hands-on assistance during treatment sessions
• Educate patients on proper movement, posture, body mechanics, and home exercises
• Monitor patient response and adjust treatment within the established plan of care
• Document progress, pain levels, range of motion, vital signs, and functional improvements
• Communicate patient updates and concerns to the supervising Physical Therapist
• Apply therapeutic modalities under the direction of a Physical Therapist
• Assist patients with therapeutic equipment and ensure proper technique
• Promote patient safety and reduce the risk of falls or injury
• Maintain an organized, clean, and prepared treatment environment
• Assist with scheduling, patient records, and administrative responsibilities when needed
• Protect patient confidentiality and follow all HIPAA, ethical, and legal requirements
• Participate in continuing education and clinical development
