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.
