New Grad Physical Therapist — Ortho/Sports Mentorship, No Weekends

Job description

New Grad Physical Therapist — Outpatient Ortho & Sports (Mentorship Track)

Precision Care Medical & Sports Performance is hiring a new graduate physical therapist for our Shell Road clinic in Brooklyn. Full-time, Monday–Friday, no weekends. Real mentorship — not a sink-or-swim first job. $90K–$100K depending on rotations and certifications, plus $5,250/year tax-free toward your student loans, $1,500/year CEU stipend, and NY license reimbursement.

The short version

This is a real first job, not a first-job-shaped pile of caseload. We built our new grad track around what we wish we'd had in our first year — time to build clinical reasoning with a senior clinician next to you, direct access to physicians for complex cases, and a gradual caseload ramp-up so you're not drowning in week one. Five days, no weekends, genuine schedule flexibility, and comp that respects your DPT.

Mentorship, not sink-or-swim

Your first job should build your clinical confidence, not break it. You'll start by shadowing and co-treating alongside senior clinicians — observing evaluations, assisting with treatments, and learning our documentation workflow before you carry your own caseload. As you get comfortable, your caseload grows at your own pace, with a dedicated mentor available for check-ins on tough cases. By the time you're running independently, you've built real clinical reasoning — and our senior clinicians and on-site pain management physicians are always a few steps away for a consult.

Beyond the ramp-up, development is ongoing: case reviews, CEU support for courses that advance your practice, clinical in-services, and honest conversations about where you want your career to go.

What you'll do

• Evaluate and treat a diverse caseload across orthopedic injuries, post-surgical rehab, sports-related conditions, and chronic pain referrals
• Deliver hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and progressive sport-specific programming, with PT technicians running warm-ups and exercise circuits under your direction
• Build individualized treatment plans with input from your mentor and from our on-site interventional pain management physicians
• Document evaluations, daily notes, and progress reports in our EMR (we'll train you on our templates — you're not figuring it out alone)
• Educate patients on exercise progression, injury prevention, and long-term self-management

What we offer

• Compensation: $90,000–$100,000 base, depending on clinical rotations, certifications, and readiness.
• Schedule: Monday–Friday. No weekends. No holidays.
• Schedule flexibility: Need to come in late for an appointment? Leave early for a family commitment? We work with our PTs, not against them — this is a practice, not a punch clock.
• Mentorship: A dedicated senior clinician as your mentor, structured onboarding that gets you to full caseload at your own pace, and direct access to senior PTs and on-site physicians for consults.
• Student loan contribution: $5,250/year ($437.50/month) paid directly to your federal or private student loan servicer — the maximum amount allowed tax-free under federal law. Starts after your 90-day introductory period.
• CEU stipend: $1,500/year. Use it on CSCS, manual therapy certifications, SFMA — whatever advances your practice.
• License reimbursement: We cover your initial NY PT license application and your annual renewal.
• NPTE support: If you're still waiting on NPTE results, we can bring you on under a NY limited permit and support your exam prep.
• Benefits: Health, dental, vision, PTO, 401(k) with employer matching.
• Equipment: Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill, full manual therapy setup, sports performance tools.

Who we're looking for

• Doctor of Physical Therapy from an accredited program (2024, 2025, or 2026 graduates)
• Active New York State Physical Therapy license OR a NY limited permit OR eligible to sit for the NPTE in the next cycle (required)
• Strong orthopedic or sports clinical rotations during DPT training
• Genuine interest in manual therapy and an active patient population — athletes, weekend warriors, working adults returning from injury
• Comfortable working in an outpatient practice environment with technician support on the floor
• Coachable, curious, and looking to build a career — not just a first paycheck

Why Precision Care

We're a multi-location outpatient practice built around integrated care: physical therapy, interventional pain management, and sports performance under one roof. As a new grad, that means your hardest cases don't disappear into a referral loop — the physician managing your patients spine is ten feet away, and you can walk over and ask. That's a year of clinical development you can't get at a standalone outpatient clinic.

Outpatient PT in Brooklyn is a tough market to start a career in. We're trying to be the clinic that actually supports new grads through their first year: real mentorship, proper technician support, meaningful comp, schedule flexibility, and a real path forward.
