About Us

HireHawk builds high-performing remote teams for U.S. and Canadian companies, connecting skilled professionals worldwide with meaningful, long-term work. We’re outcomes-first, detail-obsessed, and we hire people who take ownership—because our clients’ cases and timelines depend on it.

About the Role

You’ll provide hands-on outpatient orthopedic treatment in a full-time, direct-hire position at our Santa Ana clinic. During each approximately one-hour appointment, you’ll work one-on-one with the patient for the first 30 minutes, followed by aide support for the remainder of the visit. This opportunity is built for a PTA who actively uses manual therapy in clinical practice and wants it to remain a core part of their work, not an occasional add-on.

• Monthly Salary (USD): Approximately $5,833–$7,083/month

Schedule

• Monday-Friday, with no weekend shifts.
• Eight working hours plus a one-hour lunch, typically 7:00 AM-4:00 PM or 8:00 AM-5:00 PM.
• Depending on the assigned schedule, shifts may start as early as 7:00 AM or end as late as 6:00 PM. All hours are Pacific Time.

• Learn and apply new clinic technologies and workflows while keeping patient care at the center of your work.
