Job description We are seeking a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) for our Lumberton, NC location. If you're looking for a supportive team, a meaningful career, and a workplace that values both patient outcomes and work-life balance, we'd love to connect with you.

We're looking for a team-oriented PTA who is dedicated, adaptable, and eager to learn and grow. New graduates are welcome—we offer hands-on training and mentorship to support your development. Join a team that values collaboration, clinical excellence, and creating a positive impact—both for our patients and for each other.
