Job Description

Join New England's Leading Teaching Practice for Physical Therapy!

If you're a PT who wants to actually practice, not chase productivity numbers, Highbar was built for you. As New England's leading teaching practice, we're built around clinical autonomy, real mentorship, and a career that doesn't require burning out to succeed - the kind of practice where you get to practice at the top of your license (PATTOTL). Here's what sets this role apart:

  • Patient volume: Under 12 patients per day
  • Student loans: We pay them down until they're gone
  • Professional development: $15,000+ invested in your first 18 - 24 months
  • Visit structure: 1:1 patient care
  • Documentation: AI-supported + Prompt EMR to cut down on after-hours charting
  • Schedules: Predictable and thoughtfully built
  • Autonomy: You decide the plan of care with PT-led clinical decisions
  • Support staff: Exercise Specialists on the floor, so you can focus on being a clinician
  • Leadership: Direct access to PT leaders who have been in your shoes

What Your Day Actually Looks Like at Highbar

We believe clarity builds trust. If something starts to creep toward burnout, leadership intervenes early. That's part of the job design, not an afterthought.

Mentorship and Professional Development

As New England's leading teaching practice, Highbar makes professional development part of your workweek, not something you squeeze in to meet your CEU requirements:

  • 2 paid mentorship hours/week for your first 12 weeks
  • Structured onboarding with a Clinic Director + Peer Mentor
  • Monthly Skillz meetings (onsite CE, every month)
  • Core-4 Series to align clinical decision-making and PATTOTL principles
  • $15,000+ in professional development invested in your first 18 - 24 months
  • In-house Orthopedic Residency, Dry Needling (Level I and II), and COMT pathways
  • Specialty SIGs (Pelvic Health, Sports, Neuro, Vestibular, Pediatrics, and more)
