Emory Physical Therapy in Dunwoody is seeking a Certified Hand Therapist or an Occupational Therapist with an interest in hand therapy!

If you’re a CHT—or an OT passionate about treating hands and elbows—this is an opportunity to join a growing team with room to make an impact. You’ll have the chance to work alongside an experienced CHT, gaining hands-on mentorship while treating a specialized caseload.

Choose a part-time role in Dunwoody (2.5 days/week) or a full-time opportunity split between two Atlanta locations. With a new clinic planned for 2028, there’s also an opportunity to grow with the organization and potentially help build a future hand therapy program from the ground up.

At Confluent Health and our family of affiliated brands, occupational therapists practice in an environment built for high quality care, professional growth, and sustainable careers. We support clinicians with innovative tools, strong mentorship, and clear development pathways.

What We Offer

Benefits include generous paid time off, medical, dental, vision, disability, and 401(K) with a 4% employer match.

  • A care model designed to support quality outcomes and efficiency.
  • Structured mentorship and career development.
  • Industry-leading continuing education through Evidence in Motion (EIM) including board certification support.
  • $1,200 annual continuing education budget for full-time employees with 40 hours of paid continuing education time.
  • Multiple career pathways: clinical excellence and leadership.

Responsibilities
