Physical Therapist Full-time Job

• Who We Are Looking For:

Are you a Physical Therapist (PT) with an infectious personality that makes patients look for any excuse to come back and see you? Are you a self-starter? Are you comfortable with picking up the phone to speak to new and past patients? Are you able to communicate with patients in such a way that they know what you’re doing for them?
Does your passion run deeper than the title 'Physical Therapist'. Do you naturally connect, engage and get energized by reaching people on a more personal level (not just clinical)? And do you have time for people over and above their allocated clinical sessions or that which you are being paid to give?
Do you feel confident that the longer you work with someone the greater the difference and more value you can add to their life? Do you believe that you are more than your PT license and there are many ways beyond clinical skills and exercise prescription to help someone show up as the person they want to in life? Put another way…. Do you have your professional ego in check and recognize that your non-clinical ‘soft’ skills are often more important to serving someone than your clinical ‘hard’ skills?
Do you love to learn and are you committed to being part of a team that puts patients first? Are you a team player and get enjoyment from anticipating the needs of others... executing/communicating in such a way that you make others lives easier? Are you coachable, flexible and open to change? Does your view of the ideal outpatient physical therapy practice differ from what you see out there? Do you view the opportunity to learn, get out of your comfort zone and go the extra mile to serve our patients and community as a privilege and not something that you have to be paid to do?
