We utilize a team approach, nurturing environment, and employee-centric mentality that allows for personal growth and becoming part of a culture that you will enjoy being a part of.\n\nAre you ready to do work that matters for a company that values you? Are you looking for that culture-fit that has you pinching yourself everyday you get up for work, because you love your role in making a difference in people’s lives? We’re “Back to You,” and we think that work should be fun, your contribution should be recognized, and your happiness directly translates into a better bottom line for our company, and a better experience for our patients.\n\nHow about you?\n\nAre you confident, reliable and resourceful? Do you have lots of energy, a great work ethic, EXCEPTIONAL organization and communication skills? Do you have the ability to serve as part of our family and care for our patients as if they were family as well? Do you have a Physical Therapy license in the state of Michigan?\n\nIf so, keep reading…\n\nBut before you spend too much time, here are the essential requirements for this opportunity of a lifetime:\n\n Exceptional organization and communication skills\n Loads of common sense\n Talent to build and maintain relationships with patients\n Ability to encourage patients\n Warmth\n Empathy\n Superior listening skills\n Answer finder and problem solver\n Timeliness\nWe are a nationally recognized, fun, cutting edge, Physical & Occupational Therapy office, looking for an Team Player who is a highly efficient, highly motivated, resourceful, results-oriented person, with a sense of humor and tons of empathy for patients in pain. We are looking for someone to join our family, not just our team.\n\nWe want a full-time, long-term, Physical Therapy Clinic Director Superstar who can provide support to us as we solve medical mysteries and treat difficult diagnoses in patients who feel hopeless and overwhelmed because conventional medicine has failed to find a cause or cure for their symptoms. Based on performance, your role will rapidly grow within our company to include hybrid clinical & admin roles, more responsibilities, and higher pay, if you so desire. We help our patients (and our staff) become “Fully Functional”. Being Fully Functional, means being your most healthy, productive, satisfied, joy-filled self. Qualified applicants must enjoy learning, being stretched to grow, and will ultimately be an integral part of all our operations. \n\nHere is a short list of other “must-haves” that you should possess to apply for this position:\n\n1. Be warm, friendly and empathetic – many of our patients have often been in pain for years and are in search of an ally, a guide who can finally figure out what is causing their symptoms and help them become fully functional and pain-free. As a Physical Therapist and Clinical Director Superstar you are one of the initial patient contacts with “Back to You.” Our patients (and staff) are our family and we treat everyone with respect and care. As the first doctor that many of our patients see in our clinic, you are our “brand ambassador” and are the starting point for their healing. This skill is vital. It is non-negotiable. It is a natural talent that reflects an applicant’s entire persona and beliefs. It is a non-teachable skill and our first test of applicants when determining who will be a good fit.\n\n2. Be a leader – You must have the ability to constantly establish and maintain rapport with your team, guide the flow of the clinic, grow the clinic volume (the more it grows, the more bonuses you'll make), participate in marketing events, mentor your team, ensure the success of your clinic and your patients, and communicate with the company. The clinic can become busy and multi-tasking is a vital skill. That being said, we have systems in place that allow us to help one another if one area of the practice gets unusually busy. We all pull together and you will never hear someone say “that’s not my job” when someone needs help.\n\n3. Have Excellent & Professional Communication Skills – You must be able to respond professionally in person and on the phone to patients from across the Metro Detroit area, and have the ability to accurately document, effectively bill, collaborate with the scheduler to ensure patient adherence to the plan of care, problem solve, and adjust your staff as needed for growth and replacement. You must be able to find solutions to help our patients and our organization.\n\n4. Be Highly Attentive, Pro-active & Resourceful – You must be alert and anticipate patient and staff needs. We pride ourselves on being the doctors who actually listen to patients. We expect our staff to do the same. Strive for the best evidence-based practices and implement the most cutting-edge approaches and techniques so that your patients and staff can benefit from your knowledge and skill set.\n\nAre we a good fit so far?… If YES, keep reading….\n\nHere’s something you should know: As a team member of our team, it’s helpful if you have some of the following experience: working in a medical office or hospital, organizing events, working with elderly or the disabled. Why? Because the traits that allow you to succeed there (empathy, attention to detail, care for patients who are in pain, organizational skills, etc.) will help you thrive here.\n\nDo you also possess these qualities below?\n\n1) Team and/or Leadership Experience – If you have leadership experience, please notate it in your inquiry. We find that people who’ve played on sports or other types of teams, or who have had significant leadership experience understand how to play their role, how to pitch in wherever is needed, and have a Whatever It Takes attitude.\n\n2) Customer Service Experience – If you have experience in busy restaurants, retail, or high-level customer service, please notate it in your inquiry. We often find this type of person has received exceptional training, as well as an understanding of what it takes to maintain high levels of service and personal organization.\n\n3) Positive Mental Attitude – We are all a family and really enjoy our time at work with one another because we are all on one mission to help our patients recover and get their lives back. A positive mental attitude, even when things don’t always go your way, is a vital requirement. Changing people’s mindset is the first step in healing and it has to come from the staff first.\n\n**What’s In It For YOU?!?!**\n\nWorking with our Doctors (and their team) would be the single most useful education you could get. You’d literally be getting paid to learn, and contribute value in the form of your ideas, positive energy and organizational efforts. You’ll be exposed to concepts that you’ve only read about in health and wellness magazines...and you will hear how they operate to help patients heal. Our therapists are fellowship trained, osteopractors, managers, clinical specialists, PT school educators, and experts in their craft.\n\nFor example, you will be mentored in differential diagnosis to determine the root causes of pain/dysfunction and the possibility of recovery in seemingly hopeless cases. You will learn about cutting edge testing and therapies unavailable anywhere else in the state. You will also learn about natural methods to help people get and stay healthy including nutritional supplements and body therapies. Research-based dry needling, cupping, body tempering, spinal & extremity manipulation, IASTM, and much much more! Holy cow! Where would you ever learn that in school? :-)\n\nIn a typical medical office setting you may end up dealing with an endless sea of paper, boring tasks, unattainable performance measures, without getting to spend quality time with your patients and make a difference (our patients receive at least 30 minutes of manual therapy). Our whole team participates in the healing process and you will learn to experience patient victories as your own.\n\nAnd much, much more…\n\nStill interested? … Good! Here’s your next step:\n\nPlease apply by pressing the “apply here” button on Indeed or the recruiting site you discovered us on.\n\nBEFORE taking action, go to make sure our philosophy fits your own. We want to focus our time only speaking with people who are serious and meet the essential requirements. You will also find our story there under the ‘about’ tab.\n\nLocation: Canton, Royal Oak and Saint Clair Shores, Michigan. You MUST have reliable transportation and be early or on time for work. Being on time is also non-negotiable. This position is as needed to cover sick days, vacation or provide extra coverage\n\nCompensation: Compensation depending on experience and qualifications (we pay at least 10% more than the average in the industry and have a 300% better work environment). We also have regular reviews with the potential for raises and bonuses. We have an IRA with matching and paid holidays and vacation.\n\nWe look forward to meeting you and learning how you can contribute to the growth of our amazing company.\n\n*** If we feel that you may be the right person for the job, we’ll be in touch in 3-4 days (or sooner).
