Job Details

Overview

 

Imagine starting your morning knowing that by the end of the day, someone will stand a little taller, move a little freer, and feel a little more like themselves again. That's the quiet, extraordinary power of what you do as a Physical Therapist. It's not always dramatic, but it's always profound — and it deserves a place worthy of that purpose.

 

We're looking for a driven and compassionate DPT / Physical Therapist to join our growing team in Rochester, New York — a city that pulses with intellectual energy, cultural depth, and genuine community pride. If you're the kind of clinician who believes that restoring movement is an act of mercy, and that where you work matters just as much as how you work, then this opportunity was made for you.

 

Description

  • Perform thorough patient evaluations in inpatient or outpatient settings and develop individualized, goal-driven treatment plans
  • Deliver targeted physical therapy interventions addressing mobility, muscular strength, coordination, and functional independence
  • Work alongside physicians, nurses, case managers, and rehabilitation specialists to deliver seamless, patient-centered care
  • Guide patients and their families through therapeutic goals, home exercise programming, and discharge preparation
  • Maintain accurate and timely documentation of evaluations, sessions, and patient progress in compliance with facility and regulatory standards
  • Actively engage in interdisciplinary rounds and care conferences to support coordinated recovery journeys

 

Education

  • Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or equivalent accredited degree required

 

Certifications

  • Active Physical Therapist licensure in the state of New York
  • CPR certification preferred
  • Specialty certifications in areas such as geriatrics, neurology, or orthopedics are welcomed but not mandatory

 

Skills

  • Prior clinical experience strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to manage patients with complex, multifaceted medical and mobility challenges
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with a collaborative spirit
  • Proficiency with electronic health records and digital documentation platforms

 

Benefits

  • A highly competitive compensation package built to reflect your expertise
  • Full benefits suite including medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Continuing education support and licensure renewal reimbursement
  • Generous paid time off and flexible scheduling options
  • A nurturing team culture with clear pathways for clinical growth and advancement

 

What You'll Be Doing

 

No two days will look the same, and that's exactly what makes this role so rewarding. One afternoon you might be guiding a post-surgical patient through their first unassisted steps. The next morning, you could be crafting a creative rehabilitation strategy for someone navigating the long road back from a neurological event. Each encounter calls on your clinical instincts, your patience, and your heart.

 

You'll evaluate, treat, and adapt — building trust with every session and marking real, measurable progress with every milestone. As a cornerstone of the care team, your insight will shape discharge planning, inform family education, and ensure that every patient steps back into the world as prepared and empowered as possible.

 

This is work that asks everything of you — and gives back just as much.

 

Who We're Looking For

 

You see a patient's potential before they see it themselves. You understand that recovery is rarely linear, that encouragement is its own clinical tool, and that showing up fully for someone on their hardest day is one of the most skilled things a therapist can do.

 

We're seeking a Physical Therapist who blends evidence-based practice with genuine human warmth — someone who thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving environment and holds themselves to a high standard not because they have to, but because their patients deserve it. Whether you're a seasoned clinician or a newer graduate ready to grow, if you lead with curiosity and compassion, you'll fit right in.
