Job description

Are you a passionate therapy professional looking to escape the high-volume burnout of traditional clinics? We are seeking a dedicated Physical Therapist to join our mission-driven, value-based team. In this deeply rewarding role, you will leave behind the stress of seeing three to four patients an hour. Instead, you will have the time and resources to build long-term relationships with a smaller panel of vulnerable seniors, focusing on comprehensive, restorative care. Working collaboratively alongside an integrated team of clinicians and specialists, you will design and deliver personalized rehabilitative physical therapy plans that maximize patient independence and safety at home. If you want a role that balances clinical autonomy with an unrivaled work-life balance and zero after-hours documentation, we invite you to lead our therapy department!

Duties & Responsibilities

Holistic Assessments: Conduct thorough physical therapy assessments within our state-of-the-art facility and occasionally within patients' homes to identify unique care needs, physical benchmarks, and personal goals.

Therapeutic Interventions: Deliver expert treatments including active and passive exercise, muscle re-education, gait training, and functional training for activities of daily living (ADLs).

Advanced Modalities: Apply specialized physical therapy treatments as appropriate, including therapeutic massage, heat, sound, water, light, or electrical modalities.

Team Care Planning: Actively participate in collaborative team meetings to share clinical insights, establish benchmarks, and build deeply personalized care plans.

Supervision & Mentorship: Directly supervise, instruct, and guide Physical Therapy Assistants (PTAs) to successfully implement tailored Functional Maintenance Programs (FMPs).

Equipment & Safety Training: Provide clear, empowering training and instruction to staff, patients, and family caregivers on the proper use, safety protocols, and care of therapeutic equipment.

Compliant Documentation: Deliver and document all clinical interventions in real time, following established department guidelines and ensuring all administrative work is wrapped up before your shift ends.

Other duties as assigned.

Licensure: Valid California Physical Therapy License

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy from an accredited program.

Desired Qualifications

Advanced Degrees: Master’s or Doctoral degree (DPT) in Physical Therapy preferred.

Geriatric Focus: Two (2) or more years of experience in a clinical setting working directly with a frail, elderly, or specialized senior population is preferred.

Location and Work Type

Work Type: Full-Time, Permanent Position.
