Job description

Physical therapists are overworked and underpaid. They often see too many patients in a day, work long hours, and are constantly pressured to hit their metrics. This can be incredibly frustrating and lead to burnout. We believe that physical therapists should be able to focus on their patients without having to worry about these things. That's why we offer a supportive environment with a manageable patient load so you can focus on providing the best possible care.

Hi, I am Dr. Shaden Ghattas, Owner of Universus PT & Wellness. I hope you are okay with me telling you a little about our backstory.

After graduating PT school, I worked in a few different settings throughout my career: hospital outpatient, acute care, and high volume outpatient. In each of them, I found that I was seeing too many patients per day, wasn't able to provide the care that I wanted to give each patient, and wasn't making the impact that I dreamed of when becoming a physical therapist.

Don't get me wrong, I learned a ton during those work experiences, but I wanted to be different and make a difference in people's lives. So, I started my own practice about 12 years ago with the goal of providing one-on-one care to my patients and really getting to know them and their goals. I wanted to help my patients get back to the activities they love without pain.

Since opening our doors, we have been fortunate enough to grow quickly and have amazing team members. We are now looking for another full-time physical therapist to join our team. Over the past couple of years, we have been able to help thousands of local residents.

The key metrics we pride ourselves on are not patient volume, number of new patients, or gross revenue, but our customer satisfaction and staff retention rates. Most of our staff has been with us for 3+ years after hire, and for that, we are blessed to have such a great team here at Universus PT & Wellness.

We would love to have the opportunity to meet you and see if you might be a good fit for our team. We are looking for a passionate, outgoing, and experienced physical therapist to work with us part-time or full-time. The ideal candidate must be able to provide one-on-one care to patients and have experience in outpatient orthopedics with an interest in manual therapy, women's health, and/or holistic healing.

We will help people uncover their body’s deep imbalances in order to become more confident, resilient, and strong in the face of adversity.

We offer:

Competitive Salary: We prefer our physical therapists not to work multiple jobs to support their living (unless they want to) to prevent burnout. So we make sure our Base Salary, Bonus Structure, and Benefits Package is reflective of that.

• Weekly patient rounds to discuss cases with your co-workers
• Monthly in-services to teach one another new techniques or review old material

If this sounds like something that you might be interested in, then submit your application and we can set up a call or time to meet. We typically get about 5-10 applicants per job posting, so please apply ASAP.

I look forward to hearing from you.
