Looking for more than just another PTA job?
Nextaff of Sarasota is actively hiring TWO Licensed Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) for a growing, family-owned medical practice with locations in Bradenton and North Sarasota. This team is passionate about exceptional patient care, supporting their employees, and building something meaningful within the community they serve.
They are looking for PTAs who want to grow, make an impact, and be part of a collaborative team environment — not just punch a clock.
Whether you are an experienced PTA or a new graduate ready to launch your career, this opportunity offers long-term growth, stability, mentorship, and a strong compensation and benefits package.

✔ $32-$34 per hour
✔ $500 Sign-On Bonus

✔ Paid time off
✔ Continuing education allowance
✔ Bonus potential
✔ Supportive, family-oriented culture
✔ Modern rehab environment
✔ New graduates encouraged to apply

What You’ll Do
  • Assist Physical Therapists with individualized treatment plans
  • Guide patients through therapeutic exercises and rehabilitation programs
  • Deliver compassionate, hands-on patient care
  • Monitor patient progress and document within EMR
  • Collaborate closely with physicians, PTs, and clinical staff
  • Help create an outstanding patient experience from start to finish
  • Work with patients recovering from orthopedic, neurologic, spine, vestibular, and injury-related conditions
What We’re Looking For
  • Active Florida PTA license
  • Graduate of an accredited Physical Therapist Assistant program
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Positive, team-oriented attitude
  • Passion for helping patients recover and improve quality of life
  • New graduates welcome to apply
Why This Practice Stands Out
This is not a “corporate conveyor belt” rehab environment. This family-owned organization believes every patient interaction matters and every employee plays an important role in the success of the practice and the community they serve. They are building a team of professionals who:
  • Care deeply about patient outcomes
  • Want to grow professionally
  • Value teamwork and integrity
  • Take pride in making a difference every day

Apply through Nextaff of Sarasota for immediate consideration.
