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.
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?
