Are you a passionate therapy professional looking to escape the high-volume burnout of traditional clinics? We are seeking a dedicated Physical Therapist to join our mission-driven, value-based team. In this deeply rewarding role, you will leave behind the stress of seeing three to four patients an hour. Instead, you will have the time and resources to build long-term relationships with a smaller panel of vulnerable seniors, focusing on comprehensive, restorative care. Working collaboratively alongside an integrated team of clinicians and specialists, you will design and deliver personalized rehabilitative physical therapy plans that maximize patient independence and safety at home. If you want a role that balances clinical autonomy with an unrivaled work-life balance and zero after-hours documentation, we invite you to lead our therapy department!
