Physical Therapist - Outpatient Orthopedics

A bit about us:

We are a nonprofit specialty healthcare organization built entirely around medical rehabilitation.

That means therapy is not a side department buried inside a giant system. Rehab is the mission. Our clinicians work with patients recovering from illness, injury, surgery, orthopedic conditions, neurological events, and complex medical situations - and the goal is always the same: help people regain as much function, independence, and quality of life as possible.

We invest heavily in clinical resources, equipment, education, career growth, and frontline input because great rehab does not happen by accident. It happens when talented therapists have the time, tools, team, and support to do the work the right way.

Why join us?

• 10-13 patients per day so you can actually treat, think, document, and breathe.
• No required double booking, which is basically outpatient PT unicorn territory.
• Full-time Monday-Friday schedule, with Friday ending at 4:30 PM.
• 5.6 weeks PTO accrual max in years 0-4, which is a real quality-of-life benefit.
• 401(k) match after 1 year/1,000 hours, with 100% match up to 2% employee contribution.
• Aquatic therapy training about half a day per week, giving PTs a new treatment skillset without leaving the job.
• 14K sq ft gym + strong rehab equipment, so clinicians are not fighting over tables and bands like it's the Hunger Games of Therabands.
• Therapist-led rehab organization, where many leaders came from clinical roles and understand the floor.
• Career ladder with additional pay potential, leadership duties, teaching, committees, and advanced clinical growth.
• Post-surgical and medically complex ortho caseload, not the same five diagnoses on repeat forever.
• Nonprofit rehab environment, where resources go back into staff, programs, equipment, and facilities.
• Open to new grads, making this a strong first job for a PT who wants mentorship and clinical depth.
• Rare opening on a stable team, created by maternity leave/volume and a former clinician moving into leadership closer to home.

Job Details

Tired of outpatient PT roles where "quality care" means treating multiple patients at once, documenting during lunch, and wondering if your next raise is hidden somewhere behind the foam rollers?

This one is different.

We are hiring a full-time Physical Therapist for an Outpatient Orthopedics role near Wallingford, CT with a nonprofit specialty healthcare organization focused entirely on medical rehabilitation.

Why This Role Stands Out

You will treat a manageable outpatient ortho caseload of roughly 10-13 patients per day with no required double booking. The patient population includes post-surgical cases, back pain, orthopedic injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, and some medically complex cases connected to a premier inpatient rehabilitation environment.

This is not a "same five diagnoses forever" clinic.

You will have access to a large rehab gym, strong clinical resources, aquatic therapy exposure, supportive leadership, and a team that actually understands rehabilitation because rehab is the entire mission.

What We're Looking For

Physical Therapist, PT, DPT, or eligibility for Connecticut PT licensure
Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctorate in Physical Therapy
Outpatient, orthopedic, post-surgical, musculoskeletal, sports medicine, or rehabilitation experience preferred
New graduates are welcome to apply
Willingness to learn aquatic therapy
Interest in treating a varied outpatient ortho population
Clinician who wants quality, growth, and complexity without the burnout factory setup
Why Apply?

Because you became a Physical Therapist to help people move better, recover stronger, and get their lives back - not to run an assembly line with a gait belt.

If you want outpatient ortho, manageable volume, real rehab resources, and a team that takes therapy seriously, this is worth a conversation.
