Physical Therapist Assistant Pediatric Care

Step Into a Role Where You Can Make a Real Impact Every Single Day

You became a Physical Therapist Assistant to help people move better, live better, and feel confident in their progress.

At Bright Steps Therapy, that purpose is not rushed, diluted, or buried under chaos.

It is supported.

This is a clinic where you work one-on-one with your patients, build real relationships, and see meaningful outcomes.

If you are looking for a place where your work actually matters, your schedule is respected, and your growth is supported, this is where that happens.

We are hiring for both our Bogalusa, Louisiana and Picayune, Mississippi locations! We are looking for someone who wants to help shape the standard for how pediatric therapy should feel for kids, families, and clinicians.

What Your Workday Feels Like Here

You walk into a clinic where patients are known by name, not just by their diagnosis.

You have the time to focus during 30-minute one-on-one sessions, allowing you to deliver care that is thoughtful, intentional, and effective.

You are not bouncing between multiple patients or feeling stretched thin.

Instead, you are able to:

• Build trust with pediatric patients
• Focus on quality treatment, not rushed volume
• Collaborate with a supportive team that has your back
• Leave work feeling like you made a difference

Why This Role Matters

As a PTA here, you are not just assisting with treatment plans.

You are a key part of each patient’s progress and success.

From helping a child reach developmental milestones and gain independence, your work has a direct and lasting impact.

You are part of the reason patients stay consistent, improve faster, and feel confident in their care.

What You Will Be Doing

• Carry out treatment plans developed by the Physical Therapist
• Work one-on-one with pediatric patients in a focused setting
• Track and communicate patient progress with the clinical team
• Adapt treatments based on patient response and needs
• Create a positive, encouraging environment for every patient interaction

What You Will Get

• Compensation: Starting at $60,000 per year Competitive, stable income with room to grow as you develop
• Flexible Schedule Build a workday that supports both your patients and your life outside the clinic
• 401(k) Plan for your future with long-term financial support
• Health, Dental Insurance Take care of your health while you care for others
• Paid Time Off Time to rest, recharge, and maintain balance
• Free Food and Snacks Small perks that make your day easier and more enjoyable
• Employee Discounts and Free Uniforms Added value that supports your day-to-day
• Company Events and Team Culture A workplace that is positive, connected, and enjoyable
• Wellness Resources Support for your physical and mental well-being

Support and Growth You Can Count On

Whether you are a new graduate or an experienced PTA, you will have:

• Mentorship and training available
• A team that is willing to guide and support you
• An environment where you can build confidence quickly

This is a place where you can grow your skills without feeling overwhelmed.

What We Are Looking For

• Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (LA PT License required)
• Passion for working with children
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Someone who wants to be part of a positive, patient-focused environment

New graduates are absolutely welcome.
