We are looking for a compassionate, motivated Physical Therapist (PT) or PTA join our growing mobile outpatient therapy team serving the Denver, NC area.

This is an opportunity to practice therapy differently. Enjoy the flexibility to manage your own schedule, the independence to use your clinical judgment, and the time to build meaningful relationships with your patients.

No productivity quotas. No rushed visits. No traditional clinic grind. Just quality, patient-centered care.

Why Therapists Love This Opportunity

  • Flexible scheduling: Part-time or PRN hours that work around your life and other commitments.
  • Clinical independence: Treat patients using your professional judgment without productivity quotas.
  • Meaningful patient relationships: Work one-on-one with adults and older adults to help improve balance, mobility, strength, and independence.
  • Mobile outpatient model: Provide care in patients' homes and familiar environments. Most patients are not homebound.
  • Supportive team: Work independently while remaining connected to a collaborative, therapist-led team.
  • Less stress, more purpose: Focus on quality care and meaningful functional outcomes rather than rushing from patient to patient.

What You'll Do

  • Complete PT evaluations (PT position) and assist with ongoing patient assessments and treatment planning (PTA position).
  • Provide individualized treatment focused on balance, gait, mobility, strength, and functional independence.
  • Carry out customized plans of care based on each patient's goals and needs.
  • Complete progress notes, treatment documentation, and other required clinical records.
  • Use sound clinical judgment to adapt treatments and support patient progress within your professional scope of practice.
  • Manage your patient schedule and travel within the Denver service area.

What We're Looking For

  • Current, active North Carolina Physical Therapist (PT) or Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) license.
  • Experience with adult and/or older adult populations preferred.
  • Interest or experience in neurological rehabilitation, balance, gait, fall prevention, or mobility training is a plus.
  • Comfortable traveling to patients within the Denver area.
  • Self-motivated, dependable, and comfortable working independently.
  • Strong communication skills and a genuine passion for helping people maintain their independence.

Who We Serve

Our patients are primarily adults and older adults experiencing challenges with balance, mobility, strength, neurological conditions, or functional independence.

Unlike traditional home health, most of our patients are not homebound. They simply prefer the convenience, comfort, and individualized attention of receiving outpatient therapy in their own familiar surroundings.

The Bottom Line

If you enjoy being a therapist but wish you had more control over your schedule, more independence in your practice, and more time to focus on your patients, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

Whether you're looking to supplement another job, transition away from a traditional clinic setting, work around family commitments, or simply enjoy a more flexible approach to patient care, we'd love to hear from you!
