Job Description

Make a real difference this school year by providing essential physical therapy services to students within a vibrant educational community near Elgin, IL. This short-term contract opportunity runs from August 17 to November 4 and is perfect for an experienced Physical Therapist eager to support students with varying needs, particularly young adults transitioning to post-school life (ages 20–22).

As an onsite PT, you will collaborate with educators and special education staff to help students overcome gross motor challenges, empowering them to achieve their highest level of independence in academic settings. You’ll play an integral role in tailoring interventions and guiding students through activities that bolster mobility, strength, and functional movement.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Current Illinois Physical Therapy license required
  • Previous pediatric and school-based PT experience is essential
  • Knowledge of interventions for mixed grade levels, with an emphasis on transition-aged students (20–22 years old)
  • Strong communication skills and an adaptable, student-centered approach

Responsibilities:

  • Deliver individualized or group physical therapy to special education students
  • Assess student gross motor skills and create targeted therapy plans
  • Collaborate with teachers, parents, and support staff to coordinate individualized education plans (IEPs)
  • Monitor student progress and document treatment outcomes
  • Provide guidance to staff and families on strategies for student success
  • Foster a positive, inclusive environment that encourages student participation and independence

Experience a dynamic workday supporting a mixed-grade caseload in a collaborative environment where your expertise is highly valued. If you’re ready to take on a rewarding contract and make an immediate impact, apply now to start the new school year strong!

Compensation for this position ranges from $39.28 to $59.28. Eligible candidates may also receive healthcare benefits, housing, and meals/incidentals. Full details of our healthcare benefits plan can be found here. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
