Job Description:

Opportunity: Clinic Director & Equity Partner

License Required: Yes - Physical Therapist Setting: Outpatient Clinic

Location: Hickory – we go where the partner wants to go!

At Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, we're looking for entrepreneurial Physical Therapists ready to build and lead a startup clinic with the support of a nationally recognized outpatient therapy provider.

This is more than a Clinic Director role — it's an opportunity to become an Equity Partner and help shape a clinic from the ground up. You'll have a voice in clinic location, culture, team development, and patient experience while partnering with a company that has successfully opened 400+ clinics nationwide. Ivy Rehab will provide support in Marketing, HR, Recruitment, Legal Compliance, IT, RCM, and everything else that will help support you and your growing clinic.

Before launch, we'll train and develop you in:

• Leadership and team development
• Recruiting and interviewing
• Clinic operations and financial management
• Community outreach and referral growth
• Building culture and retaining teammates

You'll also work closely with experienced leaders who have successfully opened clinics themselves, ensuring you feel confident and supported before opening your doors.

Compensation:

• $90,000–$110,000 annually — full salary paid even before your clinic opens
• Eligible for a competitive annual Clinic Director bonus plan once your clinic launches
• True equity ownership opportunity in your clinic — directly benefits from the success you help build
