Job description

### Physical Therapist - DelawareACTIVELiricarePosted by Liri Care • 2 months agoLocation: US, DelawareEmployment Type: Full timeSalary Range: $50 - $60Description: $50–$60/hour | W-2 (full benefits included) Location: Statewide Delaware (New Castle, Kent & Sussex Counties) Schedule: Flexible | Home & Community-Based ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring Physical Therapists to deliver early intervention services to infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) and their families across Delaware through the state's Birth to Three (B23) Early Intervention Program under IDEA Part C. This is not a clinic or hospital role. You'll be visiting families in their homes and community settings, including childcare centers, parks, and grandparents' homes, wherever the child moves and plays. Your work is grounded in the child's natural environment and daily routines, not a treatment table. Delaware's B23 program uses an evidence-based coaching model. Your primary role is to build family capacity, helping caregivers understand their child's motor development and embedding movement and mobility strategies into everyday routines. You are not just working with the child. You are equipping the family to support their child's physical development every hour you are not in the room. If you are drawn to early childhood, enjoy working closely with families, and are comfortable practicing independently in community settings, this role is a strong fit. THE SETTING Services are delivered in natural environments as required under IDEA Part C, meaning the child's home, daycare, or community. You will carry a caseload across one or more Delaware counties, working alongside service coordinators and multidisciplinary EI teams to implement IFSPs (Individualized Family Service Plans). Delaware is a small state, but your caseload may span multiple counties. Reliable transportation and comfort with independent, community-based practice are essential. WHY LIRICARE At LiriCare, we focus on building long-term careers and partnerships, not just placements. Everything we offer is designed to support clinicians with better tools, stronger systems, and real professional growth. What sets us apart: Liri AI, built for therapists: Streamline documentation across evaluations, IFSP goals, session notes, and progress reports so you can spend more time with families and less time on paperwork. Marketplace earnings: Upload your own therapy resources and keep 96% of every sale. Your clinical expertise creates additional income beyond your hourly rate. Profit-sharing: Eligible providers receive performance-based bonuses tied to engagement and clinical impact. Built-in community: Connect with PTs, OTs, SLPs, and educators nationwide through peer groups, mentorship, and real-time collaboration. Early intervention can be isolating work. We make sure you are never without professional support. Flexible tools and workflow: Integrated systems for scheduling, documentation, and communication built to make community-based practice easier. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS - $50–$60/hour (W-2) based on experience Full benefits package for W-2 employees: - Health, dental, and vision insurance - Retirement savings with employer match - Annual professional development allowance - Sign-on and relocation bonuses (select candidates) - Free access to Liri AI tools and platform (valued at $1,500) WHAT YOU'LL DO - Deliver physical therapy services to infants and toddlers in home and community settings - Coach and support caregivers to embed movement, positioning, and mobility strategies into daily routines - Conduct PT evaluations and assessments to support IFSP development - Develop measurable IFSP goals aligned with family priorities and the child's motor development needs - Address gross motor skills, postural control, balance, gait, and functional mobility - Recommend and support use of adaptive equipment and assistive devices as appropriate - Participate in multidisciplinary team meetings and IFSP reviews - Maintain accurate, timely documentation in compliance with Delaware B23 and IDEA Part C requirements - Collaborate with service coordinators, OTs, SLPs, and other EI providers WHAT YOU'LL NEED - Doctorate or Master's degree in Physical Therapy - Active Delaware PT license (or eligibility to obtain prior to start) - Experience with pediatric populations, especially birth to 3, is a strong plus - Familiarity with IFSP processes and IDEA Part C is desirable but not required - Comfort with the coaching model and family-centered practice - Reliable transportation for home and community visits across Delaware - Strong communication, documentation, and independent practice skills ABOUT THIS WORK The first three years of life are the most critical window for motor development. What a child learns about moving, balancing, and exploring their environment in those early years shapes how they engage with the world for decades to come. As a B23 PT, you are not running repetitive exercise sessions in a gym. You are watching a child take their first steps in their own living room, coaching a parent on how to position their baby during bath time, and helping a toddler learn to navigate the backyard. You are part of a family's daily life in a way that clinic-based PT rarely allows. You will build real, ongoing relationships with families, see meaningful developmental progress, and do work that is genuinely hard to replicate in any other setting. HOW TO APPLY Submit: - Your resume - A brief note about your interest in early intervention or pediatric physical therapy We review applications promptly and will follow up within a few business days. LiriCare is committed to building an inclusive and supportive environment for all clinicians and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
