DPT / Doctor of Physical Therapy

What if each day, in your role as a Physical Therapist, you had the remarkable opportunity to assist someone in taking their very first step following surgery, helping them reclaim independence after experiencing a stroke, or restoring their ability to speak after a debilitating illness? In this vital profession, you won't merely facilitate recovery - you'll be at the forefront of restoring dignity, momentum, and hope in the most vulnerable times of life. And the best part? You'll be doing this in a captivating location that redefines living, working, and rejuvenating. We invite you to bring your expertise to Worcester, Massachusetts, a thriving community where professional achievement seamlessly intersects with a lifestyle that encourages passion and engagement. In this vibrant city, clinical excellence is paired with a community that embraces and elevates every individual. If you're prepared to leave a lasting impact through compassionate care, your moment has arrived. In your daily routine, you'll evaluate patients in either an inpatient or outpatient environment, crafting tailored treatment plans that address individual needs. You'll perform physical therapy interventions aimed at enhancing mobility, strength, balance, and overall function. Your collaboration will extend to nurses, physicians, case managers, and fellow rehabilitation professionals, all working together to optimize patient outcomes. Throughout your career, you'll also take on the rewarding responsibility of educating patients and their families about therapeutic goals, discharge processes, and effective home exercise protocols. You'll be expected to maintain detailed documentation of evaluations, treatments, and patient progress in alignment with both facility and regulatory standards. Interdisciplinary team rounds and care conferences will offer you an opportunity to ensure all care is well-coordinated and effectively communicated. You should possess a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or an equivalent qualification from an accredited institution. A current state licensure as a Physical Therapist is essential, and while CPR certification is preferred, additional specialized certifications (such as neurological or geriatric) would be a plus but are not mandatory. A strong background in this field is highly desirable. You must be adept at working with patients who encounter intricate medical and mobility challenges, showcasing both effective communication and teamwork abilities. Proficiency with digital charting and clinical documentation systems will aid in your success in this role. In terms of benefits, we offer a competitive compensation package that includes comprehensive coverage for health, dental, and vision, along with opportunities for continuing education and licensure reimbursements. Our practice believes in a supportive team culture that promotes flexible scheduling and paid time off, ensuring a balanced lifestyle for our staff. Every day as a Physical Therapist is an adventure, with each interaction leaving a meaningful impact. You will serve as a trusted partner during the initial recovery phases, assisting those who are regaining their balance after surgery or courageously embracing the steps toward recovery from a stroke. Your work involves hands-on, high-touch engagement that merges clinical knowledge with sincere compassion. Standing beside your patients, you will assess their needs, implement focused treatment plans, and adjust care strategies as they progress through recovery. You will play an essential role within a cooperative care team, facilitating safe discharge planning and transitions back to home. This position requires precision and presence, rewarding you instantly with the gratification that comes from making a significant difference in another's life. Your care here will not just be vital - it will redefine the healing process. We are searching for someone who embodies more than just the qualifications on paper. We need a Physical Therapist who understands that movement is akin to medicine, that kindness possesses tremendous power, and that every step of progress-no matter how small-is worth celebrating.
