Senior Physical Therapist - Clinic Lead & Clinical Instructor

$98.08k

Gardena Physical Therapy

We're looking for an experienced Physical Therapist ready to lead, teach, and treat — all in one role. As our Senior PT, Clinic Lead, and Clinical Instructor, you'll shape patient outcomes, mentor the next generation of PTs, and help run a thriving outpatient orthopedic clinic in Gardena, CA.

This is not your average PT job. It's a dual-impact role for a clinician who is as passionate about developing talent as they are about hands-on patient care.

 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Evaluate and treat orthopedic patients using evidence-based, manual therapy–focused care
  • Lead daily clinic operations and serve as the point-of-contact in the director's absence
  • Supervise and mentor PTAs, PT Aides, and clinical staff
  • Host and evaluate PT students during clinical rotations using the APTA CPI
  • Liaise with affiliate PT program coordinators (ACCEs) on student performance
  • Contribute to staff development, scheduling, and quality improvement

 

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Active California PT License
  • Minimum 2 years of outpatient orthopedic experience (required for CI eligibility)
  • APTA Credentialed Clinical Instructor (CCI) certification — or willingness to obtain within 6 months
  • Experience or strong interest in supervising PT students
  • Leadership mindset with strong communication and team-building skills
  • Proficiency in manual therapy and functional orthopedic assessment

 

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Competitive salary + sign-on bonus (details at interview)
  • Health, dental, vision, 401(k) with matching, HSA, PTO, life insurance
  • Tuition reimbursement, CEU support, and license reimbursement
  • Flexible scheduling: 5-, 8-, or 10-hour shifts, Monday–Friday
  • A collaborative, manual therapy–focused clinic culture with room to grow
Employment Type: Full Time
Years Experience: 1 - 3 years
Salary: $98,080 - $125,000 Annual
Bonus/Commission: No
