  • Health, dental and vision insurance
  • A long term contract with a defined timeline
  • A school led by a principal known for supporting their staff
  • 30 hours a week, Monday through Friday

What you will be doing:

  • Conducting comprehensive physical therapy evaluations covering gross motor skills, mobility, strength, balance, coordination and functional performance
  • Developing individualized treatment plans aligned with students' IEP goals
  • Providing direct and consultative PT services in individual and small group settings
  • Collaborating with teachers, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists and other multidisciplinary team members
  • Recommending and monitoring adaptive equipment, mobility devices and seating systems
  • Educating school staff and families on therapeutic strategies and positioning techniques
  • Maintaining documentation in compliance with IDEA, state regulations and district policies

What you need to bring:

  • Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate in Physical Therapy from an accredited program
  • Active New Jersey Physical Therapist license
  • Experience working with students with physical disabilities, neurological disorders or developmental disabilities
  • Knowledge of special education law, IDEA and IEP development
  • School based pediatric experience preferred
