About the Role

This Physical Therapist Assistant position is based in Benchmark Physical Therapy's Eugene outpatient orthopedic clinic at 1777 Coburg Road. Working under the supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist, you'll build and implement individualized treatment plans aimed at restoring each patient's mobility and strength. Day-to-day work includes direct patient care, progress documentation, and close coordination with your clinical team — all supported by modern documentation technology that reduces paperwork so your attention stays on the patient. Openings exist for full-time, part-time, and PRN schedules.

About Benchmark Physical Therapy and Upstream Rehabilitation

Benchmark Physical Therapy is one of 26 regional clinic brands under Upstream Rehabilitation, a national outpatient rehab network spanning more than 1,200 locations across the country. Despite its scale, the model is built around local clinical culture — administrative support and technology infrastructure are centralized so individual clinics like Eugene's can stay focused on patient care rather than back-office work. That scale also funds resources that smaller independent practices rarely match: a meaningful annual CEU allowance, cross-network mentorship programs, and defined career advancement tracks. Upstream Rehabilitation is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to building inclusive teams.

What You'll Do

  • Provide direct, hands-on rehabilitation care under the supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist using evidence-based treatment techniques
  • Develop and carry out individualized treatment programs designed to improve patients' mobility, strength, and functional independence
  • Track and document patient outcomes on an ongoing basis, adjusting treatment approaches as clinical progress evolves
  • Collaborate closely with your supervising PT and the broader clinic team to ensure coordinated, high-quality care
  • Build relationships with patients, referring providers, and the local Eugene community
  • Engage with Upstream Rehabilitation's mentorship track and continuing education programs to support your ongoing clinical development

Required Qualifications

  • Graduation from an accredited Physical Therapist Assistant program
  • Active Oregon PTA license — or documented eligibility to obtain Oregon licensure

Skills Context: What This Role Actually Demands

The minimum bar for this role is intentionally narrow: a PTA program credential plus an active or pending Oregon license. Benchmark and Upstream have built structured onboarding and mentorship specifically to develop clinicians on the job, which is why no experience floor or specialized skill set appears in the posting. The infrastructure exists to bring new grads up to speed. Clinicians with outpatient orthopedic backgrounds will likely adapt faster, but that experience is not a stated requirement — only the credential is non-negotiable.

Pay and Bonus Structure

Pay runs $26.00–$30.00 per hour, with placement within the range determined by experience, professional background, and geographic market factors specific to the Eugene clinic. Beyond base pay, a monthly clinical bonus is in place — Upstream Rehabilitation reports that over 90% of its clinicians qualify, making this a realistic addition to total compensation, not a stretch target. Sign-on bonuses and a Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) may also be available depending on start timing; these are subject to current availability and should be confirmed with the hiring team during the interview process.

Benefits

  • 100% employer-paid medical health insurance premium option
  • Dental and vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match
  • Generous paid time off and paid holidays
  • Monthly clinical performance bonus (90%+ of clinicians qualify)
  • Sign-on bonus and Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) incentives — subject to availability
  • Structured onboarding and mentorship program for new-graduate PTAs
  • Annual continuing education (CEU) allowance through Upstream Rehabilitation
  • Professional development pathways and long-term career advancement opportunities
  • Modern clinical documentation technology to reduce administrative burden

Location and Work Arrangement

This is a fully on-site, in-clinic role at Benchmark Physical Therapy, 1777 Coburg Road, Unit 3, Eugene, OR. Remote or hybrid arrangements are not applicable to hands-on outpatient rehabilitation. The posting does not mention visa sponsorship or relocation assistance — candidates for whom either applies should confirm details directly with Benchmark's hiring team.
