Role summary

WelbeHealth is seeking a Physical Therapist to join their interdisciplinary team. This role focuses on providing restorative and rehabilitative physical therapy services to participants, aiming to maximize their independence and safety. The position offers lower patient volumes, long-term relationships with participants, and a strong emphasis on work-life balance. Responsibilities include conducting assessments, developing care plans, delivering interventions, and supervising Therapy Assistants. The role requires a Bachelor's degree in physical therapy and a valid New Jersey Physical Therapy License. Experience in outpatient, acute, inpatient, or skilled nursing settings is preferred.

At WelbeHealth each participant of our program is guided by our interdisciplinary team (IDT) - composed of clinical and non-clinical members who work cohesively to provide quality patient-centered care.

The Physical Therapist is a key member of the IDT, focusing on care planning and the coordination and delivery of restorative and rehabilitative physical therapy services to participants, working to maximize independence and safety.

This role is different because the Physical Therapist at WelbeHealth:

  • Lower patient volumes – no more seeing 3-4 patients an hour
  • Form long-term relationships with participants rather than short-term rehab stints
  • Collaborate with other therapists, providers, and disciplines
  • Have work/life balance - no hours of documentation after work hours
  • We care about our team members. That’s why we offer:

  • Medical insurance coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)

  • 401K savings + match
  • Comprehensive compensation package including base pay and bonus
  • Unlimited CEUs through MedBridge
  • And additional benefits!
  • On the day-to-day, you will:

  • Conduct physical therapy assessments in our facility and occasionally in the home to define participant care needs, preferences, and goals
  • Actively participate in IDT meetings to develop participant care plans
  • Deliver and document interventions as agreed upon in participant care plans
  • Provide active and passive exercise, muscle re-education, gait, functional training of ADLs, and treatments including massage, heat, sound, water, light, or electricity
  • Supervise Therapy Assistants, providing training, instruction, and guidance needed to implement Functional Maintenance Programs (FMP)
  • Provide training and instruction to staff, participants, and caregivers/families on the use and care of therapeutic equipment
  • Job requirements include:

  • Bachelor’s degree in physical therapy; master’s or doctoral degree preferred
  • Valid New Jersey physical therapy license, or proof of license eligibility
  • Graduation from a CAPTE/APTA-accredited physical therapy program required
  • Must obtain CPR and First Aid certification within 180 days of hire and maintain certification thereafter; CPR and First Aid certification upon hire preferred
  • We are seeking a Physical Therapist that ideally has outpatient, acute, inpatient, or skilled nursing experience. If you’re ready to join a team that values both its participants and team members, we’d love to hear from you!

    Compensation consists of base salary plus bonus. WelbeHealth offers a competitive total rewards package that includes a 401(k) match, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and a broad range of additional benefits.
