Job description

Physical Therapist Job in Clifton Park, New York

Clifton Park Physical Therapy is hiring for a Physical Therapist job in Clifton Park, New York, and we're looking for someone who wants time to actually connect with patients instead of racing through a packed schedule. This part-time position is built around a fixed, predictable weekly schedule, with no weekend shifts and no early morning call‑times during the week, so you can plan your life around your work instead of the other way around.

We Listen First, Then We Treat

At Clifton Park Physical Therapy, every visit starts with understanding a patient's goals, concerns, and how their movement limitations show up in daily life. That approach shapes care plans that feel realistic and organized, with progress patients can recognize week to week rather than a generic protocol applied to every diagnosis. The same mindset carries over into how the clinical team works together: therapists collaborate, share insights, and support consistent care across visits so patients feel looked after from their first appointment through discharge.

That collaboration extends beyond the treatment room. The team gets together outside the clinic too, through team dinners, community events, and seasonal get‑togethers, which helps build the kind of working relationships that make it easier to cover for one another, ask questions, and keep care consistent when a patient sees more than one clinician over the course of treatment.

A Schedule Built for Real Work‑Life Balance

This role runs Monday through Thursday from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, for 26 hours a week with no weekend requirements. That structure works well for clinicians managing morning family commitments, running a morning private practice, or pursuing continuing education. Care is paced at one‑on‑one treatment or a maximum of two patients per hour, and documentation time is built directly into the schedule using PROMPT EMR and AI Scribe, so charting happens during the workday instead of after 7:00 PM. Clinic aides handle flow, cleaning, and scheduling, which means clinical time stays focused on the patients in front of you.

A Clinic Built for Focused, Hands‑On Care

You'll be treating a diverse outpatient orthopedic caseload spanning post‑operative recovery, sports injuries, and degenerative conditions, working in private treatment rooms designed for one‑on‑one attention alongside an open gym space suited to guided exercise. The clinic is equipped for real orthopedic rehab work, with treadmills, upright and recumbent bikes, strength machines, cable systems, Biodex equipment, traction units, and posture‑focused tools, so treatment plans can match what each patient actually needs rather than what the equipment allows. You'll also be working alongside an experienced team of peer physical therapists who are encouraged to keep growing clinically, supported by continuing education funding and time to actually use it.

Compensation:

• $38.00–$43.00 per hour (W-2 position, dependent on experience)

Qualifications:

• Active and unrestricted State Physical Therapist license
• Degree in Physical Therapy from an accredited program (DPT preferred)
• Strong clinical reasoning and interpersonal skills to build trust with patients
• New graduates with a strong drive for outpatient care are welcome to apply

Responsibilities:

• Conduct comprehensive initial evaluations, establish diagnostic hypotheses, and formulate evidence‑based plans of care
• Deliver skilled, individualized treatments including manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and functional neuromuscular re‑education
• Regularly reassess patient functional outcomes and adjust treatment plans to optimize recovery
• Prepare patients for successful discharge with sustainable home exercise programs
• Complete point‑of‑service charting in PROMPT EMR, including daily SOAP notes and progress reports, during built‑in documentation blocks
• Maintain accurate medical records in compliance with state practice acts, Medicare guidelines, and commercial insurance requirements
• Manage a predictable schedule so appointment times and transitions run smoothly
• Collaborate and communicate with the clinical team

Skills:

• Proficiency in joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, or myofascial release techniques
• Strong foundation in treating acute sports injuries, chronic degenerative conditions, and post‑operative orthopedic protocols
• Ability to design, progress, and modify functional exercise programs for diverse fitness levels
• Skill in translating complex clinical concepts into simple, actionable home exercise instructions
• Efficient, compliant, and objective charting in a standard EMR
• Confidence to manage a busy afternoon caseload independently and make sound clinical decisions during peak hours
• Strong time management to keep appointments on schedule without sacrificing quality of care
• Skill in clearly directing clinic aides or support staff to streamline patient transitions and gym flow

Benefits:

• Hourly rate of $38.00–$43.00 (W-2, dependent on experience)
• Simple IRA with 3% company match, available for part‑time team members
• Annual continuing education stipend of $500–$1,000
• Paid documentation time built directly into the daily schedule
