Build Hands-On Physical Therapy Experience While Helping Patients Move, Recover, and Get Stronger
If you are interested in Physical Therapy, exercise science, kinesiology, or rehabilitation and want a role where you can gain meaningful hands-on experience, this may be a great next step.
At Central Jersey Physical Therapy Associates, you will work directly alongside Physical Therapists and our clinical team while helping patients safely complete their exercise programs, preparing treatment areas, and creating an organized and welcoming clinic experience.
This is more than simply cleaning tables or moving equipment.
We are looking for someone who wants to learn, take ownership of the patient experience, understand how a busy outpatient orthopedic clinic operates, and become a valuable part of the clinical team.
This can be an especially strong opportunity for an exercise science or kinesiology graduate, aspiring Physical Therapist, experienced PT aide, or foreign-trained Physical Therapist currently working toward U.S. licensure.
What You Will Receive
- $18.00 to $21.00 per hour
- Full-time Monday through Friday schedule
- 3% employer-paid 401(k) contribution
- 2% profit-sharing opportunity
- Paid Time Off
- Training and professional development
- Hands-on experience in an established outpatient Physical Therapy clinic
- Direct exposure to orthopedic rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise
- Support from experienced Physical Therapists and clinical team members
- Opportunity to strengthen your knowledge of exercise progression and patient care
- Potential assistance with health insurance premiums for the right candidate
- Supportive, family-like team environment
Gain Real Experience in Outpatient Physical Therapy
If you are considering a future career in Physical Therapy, healthcare, exercise science, or rehabilitation, there is a big difference between learning concepts in a classroom and seeing rehabilitation happen every day.
Here, you will be actively involved in the patient experience.
You will help supervise prescribed exercises, observe how patients progress through rehabilitation, communicate with the clinical team, and learn how an established outpatient orthopedic clinic operates.
You may gain exposure to patients recovering from:
- Orthopedic injuries
- Joint and muscle conditions
- Sports injuries
- Surgery and joint replacement
- Strength and mobility limitations
- Balance concerns
- Geriatric conditions
- Vestibular conditions
- Chronic pain and movement limitations
You will see how Physical Therapists modify exercises, progress patients, communicate with different personalities, and help people return to the activities that matter to them.
Help Patients Exercise Safely and Successfully
A major part of this position is quality exercise supervision.
Under the direction of our licensed clinical team, you will help patients complete their prescribed exercise programs correctly and safely.
You will:
- Guide patients through assigned therapeutic exercises
- Observe exercise technique and patient response
- Reinforce instructions provided by the Physical Therapist
- Help patients stay engaged and motivated during their visits
- Communicate concerns or changes to the treating clinician
- Assist with appropriate exercise setup and equipment
- Help maintain an efficient flow throughout the clinic
You should enjoy interacting with people and be comfortable giving clear directions in a friendly and professional way.
Be Part of the Patient Experience
Patients remember how they are treated from the moment they enter the clinic until the moment they leave.
You will help us create an environment where patients feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.
Your responsibilities will also include:
- Preparing treatment areas before and between patients
- Cleaning and organizing treatment tables and equipment
- Keeping exercise and treatment spaces ready for the clinical team
- Assisting Physical Therapists with clinic flow
- Helping patients transition between treatment activities
- Maintaining a clean, professional, and organized environment
- Building positive relationships with patients
- Supporting the clinical team wherever needed
We are looking for someone who notices what needs to be done and takes initiative rather than waiting to be asked.
Learn From an Experienced Physical Therapy Team
Central Jersey Physical Therapy Associates has served the Old Bridge community for decades, and we believe good patient care starts with having a strong team.
You will receive training and support so you understand not only what you are being asked to do, but how your role contributes to the patient's rehabilitation experience.
This is an environment where you can ask questions, learn from experienced clinicians, and build skills that can serve you throughout a future career in healthcare or rehabilitation.
