Join a dedicated team of school-based Physical Therapists supporting students across multiple schools in the Hope Mills and Fayetteville area. This rewarding contract opportunity offers the chance to make a significant impact on student development and mobility throughout the academic year, with a flexible summer ESY (Extended School Year) schedule as well.

Physical Therapists will serve a diverse caseload of approximately 50 students in collaboration with a PT/PTA team, working with all grade levels.

To work with Pre-K students, all Physical Therapists must undergo fingerprinting as a compliance measure.

Desired Qualifications:

• Familiarity with early intervention or experience conducting Pre-K assessments (TPBA-trained/certified, preferred but not required)
• Commitment to thorough documentation and collaboration within a multidisciplinary education setting
• Excellent interpersonal skills for communication with students, families, and school staff
• Reliable transportation and ability to travel between school sites

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide physical therapy services and interventions to students as outlined in IEPs

• Conduct necessary evaluations, including Pre-K assessments if qualified
• Maintain accurate records and progress reports
• Manage a flexible schedule across multiple school sites with mileage reimbursement

Take on a meaningful contract in a supportive educational environment, featuring consistent Monday-Friday hours: 8am – 3:30pm during the school year, and 8am – 12:30pm, Monday-Thursday, for ESY.
