Physical Therapist (Outpatient)

Physical Therapist (PT) – Outpatient Orthopedics | Connecticut

Full-Time | Multi-Site Practice | Mentorship-Focused Growth

NorthMed Health is partnering with a growing private outpatient orthopedic group to hire a Physical Therapist (PT) for a full-time opportunity within a multi-site outpatient practice in Connecticut. This is an excellent fit for clinicians seeking strong mentorship, clinical autonomy, hands-on leadership, and a team-focused environment without the feel of a large corporate healthcare system.

This organization has built a “ big small company ” culture—meaning they continue to grow while maintaining direct leadership involvement, clinician support, and the ability for therapists to have their voices heard.

Position Highlights

Setting: Outpatient Orthopedic Physical Therapy

Schedule: Full-Time | Flexible weekday schedule

Location: Connecticut (multi-site opportunity)

Patient Population: Orthopedics, athletes, active adults, seniors, some pediatric sports cases

Growth Focus: Mentorship, leadership development, specialty programs

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary: $85,000–$100,000 (higher rates negotiable for the right fit)
• Quarterly bonus structure tied to attendance and performance metrics
• Health insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Disability coverage
• 401(k)
• CEU support
• Long-term leadership growth opportunities

Why This Role Stands Out

This group is intentionally structured to support clinicians—not burn them out.

• Multi-office mentorship program (not limited to new grads)
• Leadership that is highly involved and invested in clinician growth
• Strong clinical autonomy
• Direct access initiative (nearly 50% direct access)
• Well-supported outpatient model with aides helping with non-skilled tasks so PTs can stay focused on patient care
• Large, aesthetically designed facilities with private exam rooms and strong equipment access
• No “open gym curtain-style” environment
• Team-first, long-term culture where clinicians are supported and heard

Clinical Model

This is a strong outpatient orthopedic environment where clinicians are encouraged to practice evidence-based, patient-centered care.

Treatments may include:

• Manual therapy
• Functional exercise progression
• Pain modalities as appropriate
• Patient education
• Orthopedic rehabilitation
• Return-to-function care

Patient population includes:

• Athletes
• Active adults
• Seniors
• Some pediatric sports cases
• Approximately 17% Medicare

Specialty & Growth Programs

This organization continues to expand clinical offerings and values professional development.

Programs include:

• Dry Needling
• Laser Therapy
• Fitness-focused services
• Direct Access initiatives
• Concierge medicine expansion (coming soon)

Qualifications

• Licensed Physical Therapist (PT) or license eligible
• Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) preferred
• Open to newer grads and experienced clinicians
• Interest in outpatient orthopedic care
• Strong communication skills
• Team-oriented mindset
• Open to learning and growth
• Long-term mentality and desire to be part of a collaborative culture

Culture Fit

This group is looking for clinicians who value:

• Strong mentorship
• Clinical growth
• Accountability
• Long-term team culture
• Autonomy with support
• A practice where leadership is accessible and responsive

They are especially drawn to therapists who are eager, moldable, collaborative, and focused on becoming part of the long-term fabric of a team.
