Why You’ll Love This Job
Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) – Part-Time
Meaningful Work, Real Flexibility
Not everyone wants the grind of full-time clinical life.
And honestly? We don’t think you should have to choose between your career and your life.
At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Center – Poplar & Highland, we’re creating a role for a Physical Therapist who still loves what they do… just not 40+ hours of it.
Why This Role Is Different
- Up to 24 hours/week
- You choose your days and hours
- Stay sharp clinically without burnout
- Be part of a high-level team without carrying full-time pressure
Who This Is Perfect For
- A PT who wants to be more present at home
- A clinician transitioning seasons (young kids, caregiving, semi-retired)
- Someone who still values purposeful patient care, not just “filling time”
- A PT who wants to stay connected to a clinic environment vs. home health
Clinical Environment
- Balance, vestibular, and orthopedic care
- One-on-one, patient-focused treatment
- Collaborative team that values outcomes over volume
- Space to contribute ideas and stay engaged professionally
