• Run regular team and clinic meetings to keep everyone aligned and informed
• Oversee the purchasing of clinic supplies and manage the department budget
• Protect the rights and dignity of both patients and employees
• Become an expert user of the clinic's software systems and help the team use them well
• Lead by example and model strong professional and behavioral standards
• Take on other responsibilities as the clinic's needs evolve

What You Bring

• Master's or Doctorate in Physical Therapy (MPT/DPT)
• Active state Physical Therapist license and current CPR certification
• At least 2 years of hands-on physical therapy experience in an outpatient setting
• Leadership or supervisory experience of 2+ years is strongly preferred
• Solid understanding of PT principles alongside business fundamentals such as budgeting, staffing, quality audits, and Total Quality Management (TQM)
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to build trust with patients, families, staff, and leadership
• A natural teacher who can educate patients and colleagues on PT concepts and techniques
• A cost-conscious mindset and the ability to run an efficient department

Work Environment

• Standard outpatient clinic setting, with occasional local travel within the community
• The role involves sitting, standing, bending, lifting, and patient transfers, along with regular computer work

Why Join?

• Lead a clinic and directly influence patient outcomes and team culture
• Mentor and develop the next generation of physical therapists
• Help shape treatment programs and best practices in rehabilitation
