Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)

Meraki Health | Full-Time (35 Hours/Week) | Newton, IL

Are you looking for a workplace where you feel supported, valued, and excited to come to work each day? Do you want mentorship, collaboration, creativity, and a team that genuinely loves what they do? We would love to meet you.

Why Meraki?

Meraki [may-rah-kee] to do something with soul, creativity, and love; to leave a piece of yourself in your work. At Meraki Health, therapy is more than a treatment plan it's connection, movement, laughter, growth, and teamwork. We believe that many of the challenges children experience stem from difficulties with regulation, sensory processing, communication, and motor development. Through intentional, play-based, movement-centered intervention, we help children feel confident, capable, and empowered in their bodies and in their world. We are deeply committed to building clinicians whether you're just beginning your career or bringing years of experience by offering strong collaboration, supportive supervision, and opportunities for ongoing professional growth.

Position Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) works under the supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist to implement individualized treatment plans that support:

  • Gross motor development
  • Strength, balance, and coordination
  • Functional mobility
  • Confidence and independence in daily activities

Our sessions are active, hands-on, and engaging. You'll spend your days on the floor, in the gym, on swings, on mats, celebrating milestones big and small. You will be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team and supported in developing your clinical reasoning and treatment skills.

This Role May Be a Great Fit If You

  • Enjoy movement-based, play-centered therapy
  • Value teamwork and open communication
  • Appreciate mentorship and ongoing feedback
  • Are committed to professional growth
  • Love building meaningful relationships with children and families

Requirements

  • Valid Illinois Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) License
  • Ability to pass a background check
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to collaborate within a multidisciplinary team
  • Openness to feedback, reflection, and growth

Physical Demands

  • Kneel, sit (on a chair or floor), and stand with ease
  • Transition quickly between floor and standing positions
  • Lift up to 50 pounds independently
  • Walk up to one mile
  • Engage in running, jumping, climbing, swinging, and floor-based play
  • Safely support children on therapeutic equipment

What Makes Us Different

  • Collaborative, multidisciplinary care model
  • Supportive supervision and mentorship
  • A culture that values reflection and growth
  • Meaningful, relationship-based therapy
  • A positive, team-centered work environment

Benefits & Perks

  • 120 Hours Paid Leave
  • 40 Hours Sick Time
  • 14 Paid Company Holidays
