Job description

Physical Therapist (New Grads & Experienced PTs Welcome)

Part-Time or Full Time PT wanted!

Tired of 3-4 patients an hour? Practice the way you were trained to.

For years Scarpelli & Associates has been a staple of San Francisco's vibrant Castro District, an LGBTQI+ community. Our best advertising is our patient success stories. We grow almost entirely through referrals. We are the physical therapy office that neighbors, physicians and clients refer friends, partners, patients and parents. Why? Because we tackle the hard-to-treat cases and stick with our patients until they fully resolve. The bottom line? In a city full of rushed visits, productivity goals, aide heavy clinics and burnt-out clinicians, people know they get real care here.

We're a small team and a community clinic; every patient is known by name. We’re looking for a PT to grow with us. We don't want a cog. We want a partner in evolving our business. Someone who is invested and brings their own ideas to contribute and support the community in providing outstanding physical therapy.

What work looks like

One-on-one, hands-on care. You will either possess, or build deep skill in manual therapy and clinical reasoning, diagnostic eyes and hands. These are the things no algorithm or AI tool can do for a patient on the table. This clinic is known for training and possessing some of the best manual therapists in the Bay.
Practice as a true diagnostician. We work toward being the community's first stop, a primary care PT, not the last referral on the list.
Complex, meaningful cases. Physicians have been sending their complex patients who have already had physical therapy elsewhere to use for years. Your cases will include orthopedic, pelvic health, neurologic and everything in between, for a diverse community that deserves clinicians who see them fully.

Who you'll learn from/teach/work alongside :

Our owner Dr. Cynthia Rose Koch, PT DPT OCS ERYT500, is a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and pelvic health certified physical therapist, who also holds the highest registered yoga training certification. She's deeply involved in advocacy through the APTA and CPTA. You'll get real mentorship from someone who is shaping the future of the profession, not checking boxes for a corporate residency program. Elizabeth Scarpelli, PT, OCS, FAAOMPT is the founder of the company and is currently retired, however, she offers mentorship on complex cases on a monthly basis. Development is not only optional, but advised, and regular consult/mentorship is built into your workload.

What we offer

Competitive salary - with either more benefits, or a higher hourly rate : build your own package with a livable wage
Mentorship from an OCS and pelvic-certified clinician
Generous CEU budget plus paid time off to attend courses
Protected time for passion projects, community outreach, and local, state and national advocacy
3 weeks paid time off (including 5 sick days and 10 vacation days)
7 paid holidays, in addition to paid vacation days
401K with 50%-100% of 6% match, immediately vested
Commuter Benefits/HSA options
Annual bonus program
Team outings & Planning Sessions
Healthcare stipend: choose the plan that fits your life instead of being locked into ours

Real work-life balance. We mean it.

Why small is the point

No red tape and no layers of management. If you have an idea, whether it's a new program, a schedule that works better for your life, or a community workshop, we can make it happen next week instead of next fiscal year. You'll have a real stake in growing the clinic and the freedom to help shape it around the career you actually want. You will have ownership in your salary, and your values.

You might be a fit if you...

Are a new grad hungry for strong mentorship, or an experienced PT ready to leave volume-driven care behind
Want to stay somewhere for the long haul and build something you are proud of
You want to teach students and train the next generation of PT's
You would like to be involved in advocacy for our professin
Love hands-on care and complex clinical reasoning
Care about the LGBTQ community and want your work to matter beyond the clinic walls
Hold (or will soon hold) a California PT license
