Customer Care – Physical Therapy Technician

Job Details

Job Location                         Tucson, AZ

Job Category                        Customer Care – Physical Therapy Technician

Position Type                        Part Time or Full Time

Description

As a Physical Therapy Technician or, as we like to call it, an Exercise Specialist, you will be responsible for all functions of the technician/specialist position kit and caboodle.  The ideal candidate is a stickler for details who works with a sense of urgency when it comes to servicing our patients.

At MI (Maximum Impact), we like to hire the most talented people for our teams, and then give them the freedom to do their jobs.  Here, we work hard – but we have lots of fun doing it.  So if you like an exciting, collaborative work environment, you’ll fit right in.

Responsibilities:

·         Keep your eye on the ball.  Assist patients in safe practice of their activities.

·         Be an exercise expert – learn extensively from your therapists about exercises and functional movement.  Seamlessly act as an extension of the therapists – anyone dizzy yet…

·         Be a best friend - build rapport and maintain a friendly, but professional relationship with patients.

·         Get ready to fly by the seat of your pants.  This role is ever-evolving – so flexibility is a must, we may occasionally ask you to do a few jumping jacks, or at least try some things outside of your wheelhouse.

Abilities and Knowledge:

·         Be organized, ahead of schedule, communicative, and accountable – in short, own your role entirely, while being open to critiques, suggestions, and new ideas.

·         Remain cool under pressure.  Things can get pretty hectic at times, so we want to make sure you keep calm and carry on through even the most stressful of circumstances.

·         Rock the mic like a vandal – not just in karaoke, but in all forms of communication (i.e., talk well and write good stuff).  We’re talking impeccable communication skills.  You’re representing MI, after all, and we take our brand seriously.

·         Know how to roll up your sleeves.  We have a lot of brass tacks here, and we like to get down to ‘em.

·         Jibe with our company culture.  We’re talking energy, integrity, positivity, a hunger for knowledge, and a passion for helping patients.  Bring all that and a bag of chips.  Seriously, we love chips.

Required:

·         At least two years of experience in customer service.

Preferred:

·         Knowledge of EMR systems.

·         Experience in physical therapy environment.

·         Bilingual.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES RELATED TO HEALTHCARE NEXT FALL

Are you thinking about having a convenient part-time job next Fall that would give you valuable experience?

Next Fall there are 5 disabled UA students looking to advertise their Personal Assistant positions.  Each will be living on Campus and will have small time blocks where they need assistance.  These are PAID positions and can work great with a student’s busy schedule.  Some work would be personal in nature, helping with showering/ dressing / getting in and out of bed.  Other times might be helping with meals, laundry, or shopping.  All are great opportunities for anyone interested in learning about life with a disability, providing great service to a fellow student, and gaining valuable experience that can make you a better Doctor, P.T., or P.A. if these professions are in your future.

A few of the students would like to contact those interested over the summer to tell them about their positions, especially after they come for Orientation in June and know their class schedule.  If you are local and would like to interview with a student while here for Orientation, that would also be beneficial.

Would you like to add your name and email to a list of those who might be interested?  If so, please respond back to me at ssantee@email.arizona.edu  Also, check the blog occasionally over the summer for ads that might be posted starting in July.

These are positions are paid either personally by the student or are paid through a State Medicaid system, the last of which requires a day and a half PAID training which can be arranged either over the summer or at the beginning of the Fall semester.

Thanks for considering these Fall Semester job opportunities!
