Job description

Description

Some of the most meaningful moments in physical therapy happen through milestones that make a lasting difference in a student’s life. A child gaining the strength and balance to navigate the playground alongside classmates. A student developing the mobility and confidence to participate more independently in school activities. A teenager achieving a new level of physical independence that opens doors to experiences and opportunities once thought out of reach.

At ACCESS Academy, those moments are what our work is all about.

We're looking for a Physical Therapist who loves working with children and adolescents, sees the possibilities in every student, and wants to be part of a team that shows up for one another as much as they do for the students they serve.

Our therapists work alongside educators, evaluators, and other clinical professionals in a collaborative school environment where expertise is valued, ideas are shared, and everyone works toward a common goal: helping children and adolescents reach their potential.

A rewarding career with room for life outside of work

We know that meaningful progress doesn’t happen by accident. It takes skilled therapists, the right resources, and a team that supports one another. We also believe the professionals doing this important work deserve time for their own lives.

At ACCESS, you’ll enjoy:

• 15.5 paid holidays and 18 days of paid time off annually — a total of 33.5 paid days off
• No nights or weekends, with steady, predictable daytime schedules
• Competitive salaries with opportunities for milestone bonuses
• Paid professional licensure and continuing education (CEUs)
• Medical, dental, vision, and short-term disability coverage
• 401(k) with employer matching opportunities
• State-of-the-art therapy facilities designed specifically for pediatric care
• A collaborative environment where therapists, educators, and other professionals work together toward each student’s goals
• Opportunities to pursue professional interests through special projects and programs
• A family-friendly workplace that recognizes the importance of life beyond work
