Full-Time or Part-Time · Wilmington, DE
The Opportunity
We are hiring a Physical Therapist to join our outpatient team, full-time or part-time. You’ll treat a general orthopedic caseload — spine, post-surgical, sports and overuse injuries, balance and mobility — in a setting built to let you actually do the work: protected one-on-one time, private treatment rooms, and no double-booking. Whether you’re an experienced clinician or a new graduate, you’ll have the schedule and the mentorship to build strong plans of care and see them through. Newer clinicians work alongside a multidisciplinary team of specialists to learn from; experienced clinicians have the autonomy to run their caseload their way. There’s also room to grow into a specialty over time — several of our service lines started with a therapist who wanted to develop one.
What You’ll Do
- Evaluate and treat a general outpatient orthopedic caseload across all ages, from post-surgical rehabilitation to spine, sports, and overuse injuries
- Build individualized plans of care using manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, and patient education
- Track patient progress with objective outcome measures and adjust care accordingly
- Deliver true one-on-one care in a private treatment room — no aides running circuits, no double-booking
- Collaborate with our multidisciplinary team on co-managed and complex cases
What We’re Looking For
- Licensed Physical Therapist in Delaware (DPT or equivalent), or actively pursuing DE licensure
- New graduates are welcome — we provide mentorship and structured support as you build your caseload
- Sound clinical reasoning and a patient-centered communication style
- Interest in hands-on, one-on-one care and in tracking outcomes objectively
Nice to Have
- Outpatient orthopedic experience
- Manual therapy training or certification
- Training or interest in a specialty area — pelvic health, vestibular, TMJ, or post-surgical rehab — that you’d like to develop with us
What We Offer
- A practice model that protects your time with patients — one-on-one care, private rooms, no double-booking
- Compensation commensurate with experience, plus full-time benefits (full-time roles)
- Continuing education support — we want our therapists building their skills, not getting away from patient care
- Mentorship and peer learning across a multidisciplinary specialist team
- Clinical autonomy with the backing of a 40-year-old, PT-owned practice
- Flexible full-time or part-time scheduling
