    About the Role:

    We’re seeking a dedicated inpatient Physical Therapist Assistant to join our team of highly skilled professionals. Our therapists specialize in treating patients with acute neurological, orthopedic, cardiac, and multi-system conditions across the acute care continuum.

     

    Acute care presents unique challenges as patients are often medically complex, with rapidly changing conditions that require quick clinical decision-making, strong communication skills, and adaptability. Therapists must balance early mobilization with medical stability, navigate discharge planning, and collaborate closely with the medical team to ensure safe, effective, and timely care.

     

    You will work side-by-side with a multidisciplinary team to deliver coordinated, evidence-based, and patient-centered care that makes a meaningful difference in patients’ recovery and outcomes.

     

    Whether you're a new graduate or an experienced clinician, you'll find a supportive team and a culture that encourages growth, innovation, and excellence.

    Job Description:

    Under the direct supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist and working within their scope of practice as part of a multidisciplinary team, the Physical Therapy Assistant implements rehabilitative programs that improve or restore physical function, alleviate pain and prevent dysfunction in patients with impairments, functional limitations, disabilities or changes in physical function and health status from injury, disease or other causes.

    What You’ll Do:

    + Deliver hands-on, effective treatment plans with clinical excellence

    + Motivate and educate patients and families throughout their recovery journey

    + Keep accurate, timely documentation to support quality care

    + Meet productivity goals while contributing to department-wide improvement initiatives

    + Stay sharp through ongoing training and knowledge-sharing

    What You Bring:

    + Associate’s Degree from an accredited PTA program

    + Active Massachusetts PTA license

    + 1+ year of experience in a healthcare setting

    + Strong communication, critical thinking, and tech skills

    + A commitment to compassionate, high-quality care

     

    At Lahey Clinic, you’ll find a supportive environment, opportunities to grow, and the chance to make a difference—one patient at a time.

     

    As a health care organization, we have a responsibility to do everything in our power to care for and protect our patients, our colleagues and our communities. Beth Israel Lahey Health requires that all staff be vaccinated against influenza (flu) as a condition of employment.
