We are seeking a dedicated physical therapist who has experience working with patients with orthopedic impairments and conditions. Staff therapists are expected to work with a variety of orthopedic diagnoses including, but not limited to non-operative and post-operative management of the spine, the upper extremities, and the lower extremities.

Staff Orthopedic Physical Therapists will be joining a team with diverse clinical backgrounds and expertise. Therapists should have an unrestricted license to practice physical therapy in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Their primary responsibility is to provide patient care in accordance with State licensing regulations, departmental standards, and policies, and accepted professional standards of care.

Staff therapists will receive mentorship from experienced clinicians, many of whom are Board Certified Clinical Specialists. In addition to regular collaboration with other rehabilitation disciplines and the multidisciplinary team, therapists will have opportunities for clinical growth through internal continuing education programming, financial support for external continuing education courses, and conferences, as well as access to a formal mentorship program.
Therapists can also participate in a variety of Rehabilitation Department Committees to enhance their professional growth in addition to their clinical care. These committees include: The Community Resource Committee, Practice Standards Committee, Staff Development Committee, Rehab Recognition Committee, Research Committee, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. Opportunities to advance on our established merit-based clinical ladder (i.e., Staff Therapist, Senior Therapist, Clinical Specialist) allow clinicians to be recognized for their clinical, scholarly, and service contributions and accomplishments.
