Job Description

Pediatric Physical Therapist

Outpatient Clinic

  • Oklahoma City, OK
  • Full-Time
  • 70-86k/year
  • Up to 8k signing bonus

Therapitas is a nonprofit that has served Spanish-speaking families in Oklahoma since 2009 with one mission: ensuring Spanish-speaking children have the same access to quality therapy as any other child.

We’re hiring a Pediatric Physical Therapist to join our multidisciplinary outpatient team in Oklahoma City. The ability to speak Spanish is not required. We provide trained interpreter support. And for those who want to learn: we'll provide Spanish lessons or send you to Antigua, Guatemala.

Why Join Therapitas?

Spanish Immersion Program (SIP): Want to learn Spanish? We'll send you to Antigua, Guatemala to immerse yourself in the language and culture. We partner with schools and host families to give you a structured, safe experience abroad. All experience levels welcome. Watch this video for more information about SIP.

Mission-Driven Work: Be part of a team that expands access to care and makes a meaningful difference for children and families.

A Sustainable Caseload: Most therapists carry about 23–28 hours of direct therapy per week, with caseloads built around experience and preferences.

Work-Life Balance: Documentation gets done at work, not at home. We build documentation time into your schedule, protect your lunch hour, and use unfilled cancellations as additional documentation time.

Structured Mentorship and Support: New hires go through a formal training and ramp-up period, with ongoing support through regular one-on-ones, documentation guidance, and professional development.

  • DPT or PT degree from an accredited program
  • Oklahoma PT license or eligibility to obtain
  • New grads and upcoming board exam candidates welcome
  • Passion for working with children and families
  • Mission-driven approach to care
  • What You’ll Do

  • Provide skilled intervention to improve strength, mobility, motor development, and functional independence
  • Document services in our easy-to-use EMR
  • Collaborate with OTs, SLPs, and other team members to provide coordinated, family-centered care
  • Supervise Physical Therapy Assistants (PTAs) and Physical Therapy students

What We Offer

$70,000 – $86,000 / year based on schedule and experience with up to $8,000 signing bonus available for candidates not participating in SIP.

  • Medical, Dental, Vision, and Supplemental Insurance
  • 401(k) matching
