Job Details

Overview

 

Imagine starting your morning knowing that by the end of the day, someone will stand taller, move freer, or go home stronger because of you. That is the quiet, extraordinary power of a skilled Physical Therapist — and it is the kind of work that never loses its meaning. If you are the type of clinician who finds purpose in progress and connection in the everyday moments of recovery, we have a place for you.

 

We are actively seeking a driven and compassionate DPT / Physical Therapist to join our growing team in San Jose, California — a city that pulses with innovation, cultural richness, and an unmatched quality of life. Here, your clinical career will thrive alongside a lifestyle that inspires. Whether you are drawn to the energy of Silicon Valley or the warmth of the surrounding communities, San Jose offers a backdrop that is as rewarding off the clock as it is on.

 

Description

  • Perform comprehensive patient evaluations across inpatient or outpatient settings and develop individualized, goal-driven treatment plans
  • Deliver hands-on physical therapy interventions targeting strength, balance, mobility, and functional independence
  • Work in close partnership with physicians, nurses, case managers, and rehabilitation specialists to achieve the best possible patient outcomes
  • Guide patients and their families through therapeutic goals, safe discharge transitions, and home exercise programming
  • Maintain thorough and timely documentation of evaluations, interventions, and clinical progress in compliance with facility and regulatory standards
  • Actively participate in interdisciplinary rounds and care conferences to promote coordinated, patient-centered care

 

Education

  • Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or an equivalent degree from a regionally accredited institution

 

Certifications

  • Active state licensure as a Physical Therapist in California
  • CPR certification preferred
  • Specialty certifications in areas such as neurology, geriatrics, or orthopedics are welcome but not required

 

Skills

  • Prior clinical experience is strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to manage patients presenting with complex medical and mobility challenges
  • Exceptional interpersonal and team communication skills
  • Proficiency with electronic health records and digital clinical documentation platforms

 

Benefits

  • Highly competitive compensation reflective of the Bay Area market
  • Full benefits package covering medical, dental, and vision
  • Continuing education support and licensure fee reimbursement
  • Generous paid time off with flexible scheduling options
  • A collaborative, growth-oriented team culture with pathways for clinical advancement

 

What You Will Be Doing

 

No two days look exactly the same, and that is precisely what makes this work so compelling. One morning you may be guiding a post-surgical patient through their first cautious steps, and by afternoon you are celebrating a breakthrough with someone who has been working toward independent mobility for weeks. This is the rhythm of physical therapy — dynamic, deeply human, and endlessly rewarding.

 

You will assess patients holistically, design targeted treatment protocols, and continuously refine your approach as recovery unfolds. Collaboration is woven into everything you do, from coordinating with the care team during rounds to partnering with families on safe discharge plans. The work is precise and purposeful, and the impact is immediate and lasting.

 

Who We Are Looking For

 

You are the kind of clinician who sees the whole person, not just the diagnosis. You understand that recovery is rarely linear, that small victories deserve recognition, and that the relationship between a therapist and patient is one of the most powerful tools in the healing process.

 

We are looking for a Physical Therapist who pairs strong clinical fundamentals with genuine empathy and the ability to perform confidently in a fast-moving, multidisciplinary environment. Whether you are stepping into this role fresh from your doctorate or arriving with years of seasoned experience, if you lead with curiosity, care, and evidence-based practice, you are exactly who we have been looking for.

 

Build a Career That Moves With You

 

San Jose is more than a destination — it is a launchpad. As one of the most dynamic and culturally vibrant cities on the West Coast, it offers world-class dining, thriving arts and tech scenes, outdoor escapes through the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains, and year-round sunshine that makes every commute a little brighter. Living and working here means being part of a community that values innovation, diversity, and the relentless pursuit of better.

 

And within our organization, that same spirit drives everything we do. We are committed to helping you deepen your expertise, advance your career, and rediscover the joy that comes from work with real human stakes. Come join a team that will challenge you, champion you, and remind you every single day why you chose this profession.
