Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) – Unique Growth Opportunity (PTA License Required)
Marino Physiotherapy | Knoxville, TN
Are you a PTA who wants more than a routine PTA job? This is NOT your typical PTA position.
Are you a PTA who wants more than a routine PTA job? This is NOT your typical PTA position.
Marino Physiotherapy is seeking a motivated Physical Therapist Assistant to join our growing outpatient orthopedic clinic in Knoxville. This role offers mentorship, hands-on learning, and a clear path for professional learning and growth. Work directly with experienced clinicians in a supportive, upbeat environment focused on quality care - not rushed volume.
Ideal for PTAs who want to keep learning, expand their skills, and be part of something special.
If you’re ready for a better career opportunity, we’d love to meet you.
What Makes This Role Different
This is not a “thrown into a caseload and hope you survive” position.
This is a development-focused role designed to help you grow step-by-step with mentorship, training, and real clinical exposure.
Your Initial Role Includes:
- Clinical support / treatment / tech duties
- Administrative support and patient flow coordination
- Documentation assistance / scribing
- Hands-on learning beside experienced clinicians
- Weekly education and skill-building sessions
- Direct one-on-one mentorship
As your skills progress, you will transition into increasing PTA treatment responsibility and be paired with a PT to help manage a shared caseload.
Our Treatment Model
Unlike many clinics:
- Every patient is seen 1-on-1 each visit
- PTAs receive regular collaboration, guidance, and progression planning
- Team-based care is the norm
- Quality and outcomes come first
This creates a strong learning environment where PTAs can continue developing instead of feeling professionally isolated.
Who This Role Is Perfect For
This role is especially ideal for PTAs who are:
- Planning to pursue a PTA-to-PT bridge program
- Interested in advanced outpatient orthopedics
- Wanting strong mentorship early in their career
- Looking to specialize in niche programs
- Passionate about becoming elite with patients
Growth Opportunities / Specialty Tracks
Depending on interests and performance, future opportunities may include:
- Orthopedics / Sports Rehab
- Parkinson's disease Programs
- Balance / Fall Prevention
- Gait Training
- Amputee Rehab
- POTS / Autonomic Care
- Advanced musculoskeletal skill development
- Preparation toward Musculoskeletal A.P.P. certification pathways
What We’re Looking For
- Tennessee PTA license (or eligibility)
- Previous Bachelors degree in related field (Kinesiology or Exercise Science Ideal!)
- Positive attitude and professionalism
- Coachable mindset
- Strong people skills
- Work ethic and dependability
- Desire to grow clinically and personally
- Pride in delivering great patient experiences
Why Marino Physiotherapy?
- Boutique, patient-first model
- Mentorship and structured growth
- Weekly clinical education
- Advanced patient population
- Strong team culture
- Modern facility
- Direct access motivated patients
- A clinic where excellence matters
