Job description

Physical Therapist

Full-Time | Cambridge Village of Wilmington | Wilmington, NC

What if your next PT job felt less like a clinic—and more like a community? At Prava, we believe physical therapy in senior living should be about much more than treating an impairment.

It should be about helping people keep doing the things they love.

Walking to dinner.

Getting to the pool.

Joining an exercise class.

Going out with friends.

Taking a trip to Wrightsville Beach.

Moving confidently through their home.

Living independently for as long as possible.

That is why we’re looking for a full-time Physical Therapist to join our team at Cambridge Village of Wilmington.

This is not a traditional senior living environment.

Cambridge Village is an active, resort-style retirement community built around its Optimal Living® philosophy—with fitness, wellness programming, dining, social activities, enrichment, and on-site healthcare designed to help residents live life to the fullest.

And that’s exactly where we believe great physical therapy belongs.

Your residents aren't waiting to be patients.

They're already living.

Your job is to help them keep doing it.

As a Prava Physical Therapist, you’ll become an important clinical presence within the Cambridge Village community.

You’ll build relationships with residents, families, wellness professionals, community leadership, and other clinicians.

You’ll learn what matters to the people who live there.

And you’ll use your clinical expertise to help them stay strong, mobile, confident, and independent.

What you’ll do

• Evaluate residents and develop individualized plans of care
• Provide skilled physical therapy across a range of functional needs
• Treat balance, gait, strength, mobility, endurance, and functional limitations
• Help residents recover after illness, injury, hospitalization, or other changes in function
• Develop treatment plans around meaningful functional goals
• Provide resident and caregiver education
• Collaborate closely with community staff and other healthcare professionals
• Identify changes in mobility or function that may benefit from intervention
• Support fall prevention, mobility, and wellness initiatives
• Participate in the community when opportunities arise—not just in the therapy space
• Communicate clearly with residents, families, and the interdisciplinary team
• Use Prava's technology and AI-enabled documentation tools to reduce administrative burden
• Deliver care that is clinically excellent, compassionate, and highly individualized

Think beyond the treatment plan.

At Cambridge Village, residents have access to fitness centers, indoor saltwater pools, group exercise, personal training, social events, outings, educational programming, and an active community lifestyle.

So ask yourself:

What does this resident want to keep doing?

Maybe it’s water aerobics.

Maybe it’s walking the halls with friends every morning.

Maybe it’s getting down to the restaurant without assistance.

Maybe it’s traveling.

Maybe it’s simply feeling confident in their own body again.

That’s the difference between treating a diagnosis and treating a person.

We want a PT who sees the opportunity.

You’re someone who:

• Holds a current North Carolina Physical Therapist license
• Loves working with older adults
• Has strong clinical judgment
• Thinks functionally and understands the importance of meaningful outcomes
• Builds relationships naturally
• Communicates exceptionally well
• Is comfortable working independently
• Enjoys collaborating with an interdisciplinary team
• Is curious and committed to continued clinical growth
• Believes residents deserve to be challenged appropriately—not simply protected from activity
• Understands that independence is something worth fighting for

Senior living experience is a plus.

But it’s not the only thing we’re looking for. If you’re an excellent clinician who wants to learn a different way of practicing, we’d like to meet you.

Why Prava?

Because we believe clinicians should spend more time being clinicians.

Prava provides the infrastructure behind the practice so you can focus on the people in front of you.

Modern technology

Our platform brings together EMR, workflows, and AI-enabled documentation designed specifically for rehabilitation.

Clinical support

You’ll have access to clinical standards, resources, mentorship, and a team committed to helping you grow.

Operational infrastructure

Credentialing, billing, revenue cycle, technology, and other administrative functions are supported by Prava.

An embedded model

You're not a therapist passing through a building.

You're part of the community.

You’ll become a familiar face.

A trusted resource.

Someone residents and staff know they can turn to.

A place to grow

You can build a career without having to leave clinical practice behind.

As Prava grows, there will be opportunities for mentorship, clinical leadership, community development, and more.

We don't want you measuring your day by how many treatments you completed.

We want you thinking about:

Who walks a little farther because of me?

Who feels a little stronger?

Who has more confidence?

Who gets to keep doing something they thought they were losing?

That’s the work.

And at Cambridge Village, there's an extraordinary opportunity to do it.

The opportunity
