Job Description
Physical Therapist – Outpatient Orthopedics | Elite Integrated Therapy Centers | Lancaster, SC
We are growing in Lancaster, South Carolina!
Join Elite Integrated Therapy Centers and build your career in a dynamic outpatient orthopedic setting where clinical excellence and professional growth go hand in hand.
We are a therapist owned company. And we will stay that way. Imagine working for a company where the owners and management team are always available to talk to you and help you and have rolled up their sleeves and been where you are-working hard to provide great experiences for our patients. Ask us why we have such low employee turnover.
We provide a collaborative, patient-centered environment with evidence-based, hands-on care. We’re proud of the strong, collaborative relationship between our physicians, surgeons, and therapy staff, creating a team-based culture that supports seamless communication, coordinated care, and outstanding outcomes for patients.
We’re seeking Physical Therapists who are passionate about orthopedics and ready to grow through advanced training, mentorship, and continued professional development. For therapists pursuing specialization, our residency program is available at no cost and is designed to help clinicians advance their orthopedic expertise with confidence, including a 100% OCS pass rate.
This position also features student loan repayment, excellent benefits, and a highly competitive salary—making it an exceptional next step for clinicians who want to advance their skills while making a meaningful impact in the Upstate community.
Have the teaching bug? After completing residency, therapists can continue to grow through future teaching opportunities within our Residency and Fellowship programs and in collaboration with our PT school partners. These opportunities allow clinicians to share their expertise, mentor the next generation of rehabilitation professionals, and expand their impact as clinical educators within a strong, academically connected therapy team.
Is management more your thing? For clinicians with leadership aspirations, there are opportunities to advance into clinic-level leadership and regional management roles. We offer an outstanding manager training program to help prepare team members for leadership success, revenue sharing and ownership.
As our organization continues to grow, team members can expand their influence beyond patient care by helping lead operations, mentor staff, support strategic growth, and shape the future of therapy services across the region.
