Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Director of RehabBend, Oregon | Skilled Nursing & Long-Term Care
Not everyone is called to long-term care.
Some clinicians see a nursing facility. You see someone's home.
You understand that helping a resident maintain or improve the ability to transfer independently, walk to the dining room, or safely participate in daily routines and age appropriate activities can enhance dignity and quality of life. You believe therapy is about relationships, consistency, and helping people live their best lives—whether they're here for rehabilitation or have lived here for years.
We're looking for a Physical Therapist Assistant Manager who is passionate about serving the long-term care population while helping lead a strong rehabilitation team.
What You'll Do
- Treat a caseload that includes long-term care residents, a bariatric population, and an incredible resident life program with community outings and programming designed to maintain and enhance resident function. Have fun while you work!
- Mentor and support fellow clinicians to deliver exceptional, resident-centered care.
- Partner with nursing, physicians, families, and interdisciplinary team members.
- Help create a culture focused on clinical excellence and outstanding outcomes.
- Assist with daily department operations while remaining connected to patient care.
We're Looking For Someone Who:
- Loves working with older adults and understands the unique needs of the long-term care population.
- Values collaboration, integrity, and compassionate care.
- Leads by example and enjoys coaching others.
- Is organized, adaptable, and committed to doing what's right for every resident.
Why Bend?
Enjoy an incredible quality of life with world-class hiking, skiing, mountain biking, paddleboarding, and a vibrant downtown—all while building meaningful relationships with residents and making a lasting impact every day.
If this sounds like you…
We'd love to meet a clinician who believes that great therapy isn't just about minutes or metrics—it's about helping people maintain independence, dignity, and purpose throughout every stage of life.
Come lead with compassion. Come make a difference. Come grow with us.
