• A locally owned company where our leadership team actually knows our therapists.

We are currently hiring for Hot Springs, Mena, Glenwood and Benton, Arkansas!

At Progressive Therapy Kids, you are more than a name on a schedule.

We want to know you, support you, help you grow professionally, and give you the opportunity to build a career you genuinely love.

Most importantly, your work matters here.

The children you serve matter.
The schools you support matter.
And you matter.

We would love the opportunity to talk with you about current and upcoming positions with Progressive Therapy Kids.

Your first job can help shape the therapist you become. We’d love for you to start that journey with us.
