Job Description

Physical Therapist South Tacoma

Are you a Physical Therapist who wants mentorship, career growth, and the freedom to practice the way you were trained?

At Elite Physical Therapy, our mission is patient first—always.

There is a difference. You’ll feel it in your schedule, your support, and the way care decisions are made.

Elite Physical Therapy is proud to be part of Alliance Physical Therapy Partners, a certified Great Place to Work®

We are guided every day by four values that show up in how we practice—not just what we say: Put People First. Lead with Integrity. Treat with Compassion. Build Lasting Relationships.

Elite Physical Therapist, an Alliance Physical Therapy Partners clinic, is growing and looking for a full‑time Physical Therapist to join our clinician‑led team.

Why You’ll Love Practicing Here

At Alliance Physical Therapy Partners, clinicians lead the way and people always come first—our patients and our teams. We believe great care happens when PTs are trusted, supported, and aligned around shared values.

Here’s What That Looks Like in Practice

  • Put People First: Competitive pay, individual bonus plan, and generous PTO that respects your life outside the clinic
  • Lead With Integrity: Transparent expectations, ethical care delivery, and leadership that understands clinical realities
  • Treat With Compassion: Realistic caseloads, individualized care plans, and time to truly connect with patients
  • Build Lasting Relationships: Strong collaboration within the clinic and meaningful connections with patients and referral partners

Additional Benefits You’ll Love

  • AGILE EMR built by Physical Therapists — less charting, more face‑to‑face care
  • Unlimited CEU budget + MedBridge access to support evidence‑based practice
  • Structured, customized mentorship — not a “figure it out on your own” culture
  • Clinical Leadership Pathway (CORE) for PTs who want to grow without leaving patient care
  • Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, and a 401(k)

What Your Day Will Look Like

Your day is designed around patient‑first, relationship‑driven care—not volume for volume’s sake.

  • Evaluate and treat patients using individualized, evidence‑based plans of care
  • Build trusted relationships with patients through meaningful one‑on‑one care
  • Collaborate with PTAs, technicians, and clinic staff in a respectful, team‑oriented environment
  • Monitor patient progress and adjust treatment plans to support long‑term outcomes
  • Communicate clearly with patients, families, and referral sources
  • Complete documentation efficiently using AgileRPM
  • Support students or teammates through mentorship and leadership when appropriate

What We’re Looking For

  • Licensed (or license‑eligible) Physical Therapist
  • Commitment to patient‑first, integrity‑driven care
  • Compassionate mindset and desire to build long‑term patient relationships
  • Interest in growing clinically and professionally within a supportive team

Balanced Expectations

We believe productivity should support great care—not compete with it.

You’ll manage your schedule effectively while maintaining high‑quality, patient‑centered outcomes.

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to assist patients with transfers and mobility
  • Prolonged standing, walking, and use of hands for treatment and documentation
  • Ability to lift or move patients as needed

(Reasonable accommodations available)

Ready to Take the Next Step?

New grads and experienced Physical Therapists are both encouraged to apply.
