Director of Physical Therapy- Therapitas

🌟 Join Our Team: Director of Physical Therapy at Therapitas 🌟

Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families? At Therapitas our mission is to ensure that Latino children have the same access to therapy as any other child.  We have worked with thousands of underserved families for over a decade, but there are still many more across the state that do not have access to quality pediatric services. That’s where you come in...

Therapitas is looking for a Director of Physical Therapy to lead our PT department and join our leadership team. 

Over the next ten years, we will build two world-class development centers and work to provide services to 100% of Latino children, regardless of their location. To achieve these goals, there are a few challenges that our Director of Physical Therapy will specifically be responsible to help us overcome: 

• Developing the department- The Director of PT will ensure that the quality of the therapy provided is evidence-based, foster a culture of continuous improvement, and stay abreast of the latest developments in pediatric physical therapy. They will direct the professional development of the PT team and consult with Clinical directors on equipment investments, PT policies, and supervision guidelines. 
• Growing the department- To build a great department, we must continue to attract amazing therapists. The Director of PT will network with schools, other PT professionals, and recruiters to find the absolute best therapists to join our team. 
• Partnering with pediatricians- Our pediatricians are not just referral sources, they are our partners in serving our families. The Director of PT will come alongside local providers to educate, nurture existing relationships, and provide resources.
