  • Build meaningful relationships with patients and caregivers

What We're Looking For

  • Licensed PT in the state of Connecticut (or eligible)
  • Interest or experience in neurologic rehabilitation (training available)
  • Strong clinical reasoning and communication skills
  • A clinician who values patient-centered, high-quality care
  • New grads encouraged to apply

  • Established, growing therapy center with a strong community reputation
  • Expanding specialty programs including a dedicated Parkinson's Center
  • Supported by philanthropic investment to enhance patient care and clinician development
