About The Position

Embark on a rewarding journey as a Physical Therapy Assistant in Lincoln, Nebraska, where your hands-on care helps patients regain mobility, independence, and confidence after injury or surgery. In this vital specialty, you’ll partner with seasoned physical therapists to design and implement individualized plans that blend therapeutic exercise, manual techniques, and patient education. Each session offers a chance to celebrate small wins—the first step taken, the first wheelchair-to-stand, the regained ability to cook a meal or play with a grandchild. This role invites you to make a tangible impact every day while growing clinically, learning new modalities, and strengthening your leadership in rehab teams. Nebraska adds its own magic to the experience, with wide-open skies, rolling prairies, historic towns, and close-knit communities. From Lincoln’s vibrant urban amenities to state parks and scenic byways, the Cornhusker State has beautiful places to explore after your shifts, making every week feel inspired and balanced. Lincoln offers a dynamic healthcare landscape, a collaborative hospital system, and access to continuing education, all within an affordable living environment. You’ll enjoy stable, welcoming neighborhoods, reasonable costs, and the chance to build professional connections that support long-term growth. For those who relish variety, this travel-friendly role can open opportunities to work across multiple U.S. locations—exposure to different patient populations, care settings, and interdisciplinary teams that sharpen clinical judgment and adaptability. The Lincoln area itself blends culture, parks, dining, and a thriving university atmosphere, while the broader Nebraska region rewards outdoor enthusiasts with trails, rivers, and seasonal events that showcase the state’s hospitable spirit and natural beauty. Role specifics and benefits: You will collaborate with PTs to assess patient needs, implement treatment plans, supervise therapeutic exercises, assist with gait and locomotion training, balance retraining, and manual therapy techniques within your scope.

The position offers opportunities to deepen specialization in orthopedics, geriatrics, neuro rehab, or sports rehab as you gain confidence and mentorship within the team.
