Physical Therapy Aide

Make a Difference Every Single Day

If you're the kind of person who finds genuine satisfaction in helping others — and you thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented clinical environment — we want to meet you.

At OrthoNJ – Union County Orthopaedic Group, our Therapy team is passionate about getting patients back to doing what they love. As a PT Aide, you'll be right in the middle of that work, supporting our therapists and playing a hands-on role in patient recovery every day.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll work closely with our Physical and Occupational Therapists to keep things running smoothly and ensure every patient has a positive, comfortable experience. Day to day, that looks like:

• Preparing treatment areas and setting up equipment, modalities, hot/cold packs, and other therapy tools
• Assisting patients with movement and transport throughout the facility
• Observing patients during treatment and reporting status updates to the supervising therapist
• Handling patient intake and coordinating with referring physicians' offices
• Keeping the treatment and exercise areas clean, organized, and ready to go
• Supporting front desk operations as needed to keep things flowing during busy periods

No two days are exactly alike — and that's part of what makes this role a great fit for someone who's adaptable, energetic, and genuinely enjoys being useful.

NOTE: we have Therapy offices in Clark and Union, NJ. You will be scheduled to work in both locations.

What We're Looking For

• High school diploma or GED
• Minimum of 2 years of experience in a physical therapy office or hospital setting
• Strong knowledge of medical terminology and electronic medical records
• Familiarity with HIPAA and OSHA guidelines
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — you'll be interacting with patients, therapists, and physicians' offices regularly
• A professional, positive attitude and a strong sense of confidentiality

We're a multi-specialty orthopedic practice with deep roots in the Union County community, and we treat our staff the same way we treat our patients — with respect and care. You'll be joining a collaborative team that values your contributions and supports your growth.
