Developmental Therapist Jobs in Raleigh, NC (NOW HIRING)

Kenny & Associates Physical Therapy is an award-winning PT-owned outpatient clinic with 20 years of roots in the Triangle community. Our philosophy is simple: People, Not Protocols. PT as it Should Be. Every patient works one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy across our geriatric, orthopedic, and neurological specialties—no double-booking, no cookie-cutter treatment plans. We recently opened our second clinic in Durham, NC (January 2026) to complement our established Chapel Hill location, and we’re building a team that reflects the same values we’ve practiced for two decades: clinical excellence, genuine human connection, and a workplace designed around Do What You Love.

Whether you’re bringing years of clinical expertise or the fresh energy of a new DPT, Kenny & Associates PT is built for physical therapists who want to practice with purpose. No double-booking. No compromising care. Just one-on-one time with every patient, in a PT-owned outpatient clinic that’s trusted this model for 20 years.

We’re growing across Chapel Hill and Durham, and we’re looking for physical therapists at every stage of their career who share a common thread: clinical integrity, self-direction, and a genuine desire to get better at what they do. Experienced clinicians here have the autonomy to shape how we treat. Newer clinicians get structured mentorship and a caseload that builds with their confidence. Everyone gets a team that respects their time, values their voice, and operates around life balance—not burnout.

• Charting : Complete timely, thorough documentation that supports patient outcomes, billing accuracy, and regulatory compliance

• Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from an accredited physical therapy program

• For experienced PTs : 3+ years of outpatient clinical experience with strong manual therapy and clinical reasoning skills
• For new graduates : strong foundational knowledge, a self-directed work ethic, and genuine coachability—you take feedback seriously and act on it
• Comfort working across multiple outpatient rehabilitation specialties and the opportunity to develop deep expertise
• Clear, honest communication with patients, colleagues, and leadership
• A commitment to evidence-based practice and your own ongoing professional growth

• Board certification or residency in geriatrics, orthopedics, neurology, or pelvic health (GCS, OCS, NCS, WCS)

• APTA membership or involvement in professional advocacy for the physical therapy profession
• Mentorship experience (for experienced PTs) or strong clinical rotation evaluations (for new graduates)
• Interest in contributing to clinical program development or specialty growth initiatives

• Compensation : Guaranteed base salary with weekly bonuses tied to your productivity (% appointments booked, units billed, and # of evaluations-[we see that extra documentation time and give you a bonus for that!])
• Mentorship & growth: Structured mentorship for newer clinicians; education pathways for experienced PTs into specialty leads
• Continuing education: Annual CE stipend
• Clinical model : One-on-one patient care in a PT-owned clinic—no double-booking, no assembly-line rehab
