Lead Physical Therapist

Salary: $85K - $100K base + bonus potential

About the role

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Lead Physical Therapist to join our team at ARC Physical Therapy+. As a key member of our organization, you will play a crucial role in delivering high-quality care to our patients, ensuring their recovery and well-being.

• Work alongside PT leaders who actually treat patients – our partner/owners are in the clinic with you, not in a corporate office. You’ll get real-time mentorship and support from experienced clinicians.
• Manageable caseloads that prioritize quality care – with just 9–10 visits per day, you’ll have the time to focus on patient outcomes, not rushing through appointments.
• Unlimited continuing education funding – pursue certifications, courses, and specialties without worrying about cost. We invest heavily in your clinical growth from day one.
• Structured mentorship through our IGNITE program – designed specifically for new grads, this program helps bridge the gap from school to confident, independent practice.
• Strong emphasis on clinical excellence over volume – our model is built on delivering meaningful, patient-centered care rather than maximizing numbers.
• Leadership development opportunities early in your career – if you’re interested in growth beyond treating, we actively develop future clinic leaders from within.
• Collaborative and fun clinic culture – regular team celebrations, cross-clinic events, and a supportive environment make work something you’ll actually enjoy.
• Autonomy with support – you’ll have the freedom to treat patients your way, backed by a team that’s always there to collaborate and guide when needed.
