Physical Therapist Assistant

Advantage Care Rehabilitation is looking for a Full-Time Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) to join our rehabilitation team at Shore Health & Rehabilitation Center in Parksley, Virginia
.

If you're a PTA living on the Eastern Shore of Virginia
, you shouldn't have to leave the Shore to find a full-time therapy opportunity where you can build relationships with your patients, become an established member of a rehab team, and grow your career.

This is an opportunity to do exactly that.

We're looking for someone who enjoys hands‑on patient care, values being part of a team, and wants to help older adults regain strength, mobility, balance, confidence and independence.

Whether you're an experienced PTA or a new graduate beginning your career,
we'd love to have a conversation.

Advantage Care Rehabilitation has been providing rehabilitation services for more than 23 years
, and we're therapist-founded and therapist-led
.

Therapy isn't simply one service we offer.
Rehabilitation is what we do.

That means we understand the importance of having clinical support, strong communication, a consistent schedule, and a rehab team that works together.

A consistent full-time opportunity. Become part of one rehab team and one patient community rather than piecing together multiple PRN positions.

A place where PTAs matter. You're an important part of the plan of care. Your observations, communication and clinical skills directly contribute to your patients’ progress.

Collaborative therapy. Work alongside Physical Therapists and other rehabilitation professionals while being an active member of the interdisciplinary care team.

Meaningful patient relationships. You'll have the opportunity to follow patients over time and actually see the progress you're helping them achieve.

Therapist-led support. Our clinical leaders understand rehabilitation because they come from rehabilitation.

Opportunity to grow. Whether you want to strengthen your clinical skills or eventually explore leadership, Advantage believes in developing talent from within.

Working under the direction of a licensed Physical Therapist, you'll help carry out individualized treatment plans designed to improve patients’ mobility and functional independence.

Your day may include:

• Providing therapeutic exercise and functional activities
• Working on strength, balance, gait, transfers and endurance
• Helping patients improve bed mobility and functional movement
• Providing gait training and assistive-device education
• Working on fall-prevention and safety strategies
• Monitoring patients’ response to treatment
• Communicating progress and changes to the supervising Physical Therapist
• Educating patients, families and caregivers
• Collaborating with PT, OT, SLP, nursing and other members of the care team
• Completing accurate and timely documentation
• Encouraging patients through every stage of their rehabilitation journey

You’ll get to see firsthand what happens when someone progresses from needing significant assistance to doing more for themselves.

That’s the part of therapy that makes the work worth it.
