Pediatric Physical Therapist or Physical Therapist Assistant

Highly competitive compensation based on years of experience and related specialties

Full-time and part-time opportunities available

We have been doing this since 2013, and we have stayed strong and steady through every season. Pediatric therapy never stops changing. We have met each shift head on, kept our footing, and kept growing, adding new tools and building out specialty paths along the way. Because a therapist owns this company and not an outside investment firm, that growth gets chosen on purpose. That steadiness is part of why our team members stay 5, 8, and 10 years and still find room to grow.

“Marshall Pediatric Therapy is an incredible place to work and I plan to be here for many many years. The management and onboarding from day one is positive, uplifting, and geared for your benefit. I firmly believe that everyone in this company wants to see me succeed.” — Physical Therapist, Lexington

We are family-owned, built on a belief that you cannot care for a child without caring for the whole family around them. It takes a village, and for more than 2,000 families across Central Kentucky, Marshall has become part of that village. Pam Marshall, OTR/L, founded the practice and owns and runs it with her husband, Jim. We work by five values, love, excellence, happiness, family, and courage, and you feel them in how we treat each other and our families.

Whether you’re years into your career or just out of school, you’ll have room to grow, with discipline-specific mentorship and clinical training ladders that give you a clear path forward. One of our team members said it simply: “There is a great mentorship program that is extremely helpful for new grads.”
