You’ll work closely with licensed therapists, bring hands-on support to diverse patient populations, and witness how thoughtful, client-centered therapy translates into real-life improvements. Your expertise will empower individuals to return to daily activities they cherish, from falls-prevention and gait training to functional strengthening and endurance work. As you grow, you’ll influence treatment plans, refine manual techniques, and contribute to a culture that celebrates progress, resilience, and the transformative power of rehabilitative science.

Beyond the clinic, Maryland reveals its own compelling appeal.

Separately, you can discover the opportunity to practice across multiple locations in the U.S., expanding your professional horizons while enjoying varied clinical environments. In Frederick, you’ll enjoy a balanced lifestyle, easy commutes, and access to a range of outdoor activities that make downtime as rewarding as your workday.

As a Physical Therapy Assistant, your primary responsibilities include assisting therapists with patient evaluations, implementing individualized treatment plans, guiding therapeutic exercises, gait and balance training, and facilitation of modalities under supervision. You’ll monitor patient responses, adjust activities to ensure safety and progression, document progress accurately, and communicate effectively with the rehab team to optimize outcomes. You’ll also provide patient and family education, support discharge planning, and help coordinate scheduling and goal setting. This role offers clear pathways for professional growth within the specialty, with ongoing mentorship, credentialing support, and opportunities to take on complex cases as you demonstrate clinical judgment and leadership.

Our benefits are designed to recognize your expertise and keep you thriving on the road. You’ll receive competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,207 to $1,264, with guaranteed hours of 30 per week, and the start date set for February 5, 2026.
