We’re looking for a full-time PTA who’s eager to specialize in orthopedics and grow within a collaborative, patient-centered environment. At HARTZ Physical Therapy, we believe great care starts with great people. If you are interested in treating patients the way you were taught in school, with 1-on-1 hands-on care, support from management, mentorship from experienced clinicians and the ability to create real outcomes—all while still having a life outside of work, read on!
What Makes HARTZ Different?
We’ve adopted a different way of treating—one that puts our patients and staff members first and ditches the cookie-cutter, high-volume model. We’re family owned and independent (no hospital or private equity strings attached). We’re a tight-knit team that celebrates birthdays, milestones, and random wins. Leadership listens, teammates support each other, and our community involvement runs deep from our 22nd annual Fall Blast 5K to everyday patient care.
HARTZ PT was built on a simple but powerful idea: when you put your team first, great care follows. As an independent practice founded by a physical therapist, we’ve been committed from day one to supporting our staff—because that’s where excellence starts. That philosophy shows up in everything we do—from how we treat patients to how we support our team.
Here’s how we do it:
Our Thoughtful Treatment Model
- Max Capacity = 44 visits/week (NOT 55–70 like many other clinics!) You’ll have time to actually treat your patients—with hands-on care and real outcomes.
- Team-Based 1-on-1 Treatment Model – No appointments less than 45 minutes with the majority a full hour. We pair our PTs and PTAs to work together on one caseload, increasing consistency, support and collaboration among our team.
- Consistency of Care – You’ll see your patients each time—because that’s how healing happens
Support that Fuels your Growth
- Virtually Unlimited Continuing Ed Budget – No MedBridge-only limits here. We love sending our team to hands-on courses—and you won’t have to use vacation hours if class falls during the week! (By the way, we cover your APTA dues too.)
- Comprehensive Onboarding & Mentorship – Our team is just the right size to support your growth with over 30 clinicians within a 20 mile radius to rely on, your team will have your back no matter what!
- Leadership That Listens – We’re a family-owned small business. No corporate investors telling you how to treat your patients.
We offer our staff the opportunity to practice PT the way it was meant to be practiced. Period.
And because we believe great care starts with a great workplace, here’s what we offer to make your job truly rewarding:
Perks that actually Matter
We know we are not the biggest provider in Lancaster—and we’re totally okay with that. At HARTZ Physical Therapy, we’ve chosen quality over quantity, connection over quotas, and people over profit. While we may not have 100s of clinics or a huge marketing budget, what we do have is a whole lot of heart—and a job offer packed with perks that actually matter. We’ve built a workplace where you can grow, thrive, and love what you do. Big isn’t always better. Thoughtful, supportive, and community-rooted? That’s more our style.
- Transparent Compensation Packages– We know you can only see a certain number of patients each week. Instead of tying compensation bumps solely to tenure and performance, we offer additional pay bumps for achieving specialized certifications, building a niche practice, taking a student or participating as a board member of a local charity, among other opportunities.
- Monthly Productivity Bonus – You’ll have the opportunity to earn more every month by exceeding a (very reasonable) 85% capacity. In our treatment model, that is only 38 patients in a 40 hour week!
- Generous Time Off varying based on experience between 3.5 – 5 weeks of vacation, sick time and paid holidays throughout the year.
- Student Loan Payoff – Each month, we pay down your principal to reduce future interest and accelerate time to payoff.
- Outstanding Benefits – Options for 100% company-paid health, dental, vision, and short-term disability. Plus a virtual health plan and free generic prescriptions for your whole family.
- Company-Funded 401K Plan Because you shouldn’t have to build your future alone.
- Team Building Trips and Outings because we know personal connection is the foundation of trust. (and by trips, we mean all-inclusive trips to a Caribbean destination…just sayin’)
- Meaningful Community Involvement and Outreach– Our community is a cornerstone of our practice and we embrace any opportunity to support it with our time, talent and resources.
In short: We’re not the biggest outpatient therapy company, but we’re big on heart, integrity, and treating people the way they deserve to be treated.
