JOB DESCRIPTION
Jay West Physical Therapy, Inc. is seeking a Rehab Technician to support our clinic’s Physical Ability Testing (PAT) program and assist with general clinic operations.

This is an in-person, flexible part-time position based at our Oakland clinic, with scheduling coordinated between the employee and the clinic. Please note that PAT testing volume is driven by employer demand and is not guaranteed on a consistent basis, so hours will vary week to week.
