Physical Therapist (PT)

As an Physical Therapist at On With Life, you can be a part of something greater. The rehabilitation process is a 24/7 job for each person served, and our Physical Therapists are an integral part of our transdisciplinary team of experts helping individuals along their journey.

There is great joy in watching someone do something for the first time after their injury. You’ll have the opportunity to watch people take their first steps, say their first words, or even enjoy their first snack or favorite meal. You can be a large part of the journey that each person served takes, making memories with them along the way. We are a not-for-profit organization founded by survivors and their families, and each person served is a new member of that family. We are looking for extraordinary Physical Therapists like you to join us!
