Job description

Join New England's Leading Teaching Practice for Physical Therapy!

If you're a PT who wants to actually practice, not chase productivity numbers, Highbar was built for you. As New England's leading teaching practice, we're built around clinical autonomy, real mentorship, and a career that doesn't require burning out to succeed - the kind of practice where you get to practice at the top of your license (PATTOTL). Here’s what sets this role apart:

• Patient volume: Under 12 patients per day
• Student loans: We pay them down until they're gone
• Professional development: $15,000+ invested in your first 18 - 24 months
• Visit structure: 1:1 patient care
• Documentation: AI-supported + Prompt EMR to cut down on after-hours charting
• Schedules: Predictable and thoughtfully built
• Autonomy: You decide the plan of care with PT-led clinical decisions
• Support staff: Exercise Specialists on the floor, so you can focus on being a clinician
• Leadership: Direct access to PT leaders who have been in your shoes

What Your Day Actually Looks Like at Highbar:

We believe clarity builds trust. If something starts to creep toward burnout, leadership intervenes early. That's part of the job design, not an afterthought.

Mentorship and Professional Development:

As New England's leading teaching practice, Highbar makes professional development part of your workweek, not something you squeeze in to meet your CEU requirements:

• 2 paid mentorship hours/week for your first 12 weeks
• Structured onboarding with a Clinic Director + Peer Mentor
• Monthly Skillz meetings (onsite CE, every month)
• Core-4 Series to align clinical decision-making and PATTOTL principles
• $15,000+ in professional development invested in your first 18 - 24 months
• In-house Orthopedic Residency, Dry Needling (Level I and II), and COMT pathways
• Specialty SIGs (Pelvic Health, Sports, Neuro, Vestibular, Pediatrics, and more)
