Job Description
Some of the most meaningful moments in physical therapy happen through milestones that make a lasting difference in a student’s life. A child gaining the strength and balance to navigate the playground alongside classmates. A student developing the mobility and confidence to participate more independently in school activities. A teenager achieving a new level of physical independence that opens doors to experiences and opportunities once thought out of reach.
At ACCESS Academy, those moments are what our work is all about.
We're looking for a Physical Therapist who loves working with children and adolescents, sees the possibilities in every student, and wants to be part of a team that shows up for one another as much as they do for the students they serve.
Our therapists work alongside educators, evaluators, and other clinical professionals in a collaborative school environment where expertise is valued, ideas are shared, and everyone works toward a common goal: helping children and adolescents reach their potential.
A rewarding career with room for life outside of work
We know that meaningful progress doesn’t happen by accident. It takes skilled therapists, the right resources, and a team that supports one another. We also believe the professionals doing this important work deserve time for their own lives.
