About The Position

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Physical Therapist Assistant to join our team at ARC Physical Therapy +. As a key member of our organization, you will play a crucial role in delivering high-quality care to our patients, ensuring their recovery and well-being. ARC Physical Therapy+ is committed to helping patients recover quickly and get back to what they love to do. With industry-leading physical, occupational, and hand therapy clinics in Kansas and Missouri, we are here to serve our communities and have been doing so for the past 20 years. Work alongside PT leaders who actually treat patients – our partner/owners are in the clinic with you, not in a corporate office. You’ll get real-time mentorship and support from experienced clinicians. Manageable caseloads that prioritize quality care – with just 9–10 visits per day, you’ll have the time to focus on patient outcomes, not rushing through appointments. Unlimited continuing education funding – pursue certifications, courses, and specialties without worrying about cost. We invest heavily in your clinical growth from day one. Structured mentorship through our IGNITE program – designed specifically for new grads, this program helps bridge the gap from school to confident, independent practice. Strong emphasis on clinical excellence over volume – our model is built on delivering meaningful, patient-centered care rather than maximizing numbers. Leadership development opportunities early in your career – if you’re interested in growth beyond treating, we actively develop future clinic leaders from within. Collaborative and fun clinic culture – regular team celebrations, cross-clinic events, and a supportive environment make work something you’ll actually enjoy. Generous 401(k) with 50% match – start building your financial future right away with a competitive retirement benefit. Autonomy with support – you’ll have the freedom to treat patients your way, backed by a team that’s always there to collaborate and guide when needed. As the leading workers' compensation experts, we are focused on industry standard-setting outcomes and individualized treatment that translates to attention to detail, improved patient education, communication, and motivation.
