Overview:

Tummy Time Academy is seeking a Physical Therapist interested in a career that schedules around your life, works 1-on-1 with families, and brings out your inner child and creativity.

What Your Day with Tummy Time Academy Would Look Like:

  • Providing 1-on-1 physical therapy to children ages 0-3 years old at their everyday settings (i.e. family's home, daycare, playground, library) using toys and furniture at that location.

  • Travel to location of session (family's home, daycare, playground, library).

  • Reflecting with family on progress since last session.

  • Observing & assessing your assigned child's gross motor skills to determine strengths/needs as it relates to their goal.

  • Demonstrating exercises & activities for your assigned child by adapting play to focus on addressing concerns in range of motion, flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination as it relates to their goal.

  • Teaching & guiding families on adapting their play and problem solving on how they can fit these activities into their daily routines to assist with achieving their goal.

  • Sharing and reviewing the session note with families using family-friendly language via provided technology and email at the end of session.

  • Collaborate and meet with other professionals who are part of child's multi-disciplinary team to share quarterly progress reports and plan/update the child and family's physical therapy plan as needed.

  • Initial and annual evaluations are completed by a different team

Benefits:

  • High compensation - $96.32 per billable hour

  • 1-on-1 care - clients deserve it and you deserve it

  • Dedicated administrative support - so you can focus on only working during billable hours instead of at home

  • Flexible schedule - 1x/week, 1hr/day, or hustle-bustle? Tell us when you want to work and that will be your schedule, simple.

  • Mentorship - new grad or never worked with kids? Not a problem, our mentorship program will give you the confidence to push the imposter syndrome aside!

  • CEU reimbursement

  • Technology provided (iPad Air with data, Magic Keyboard, Apple Pencil)

  • Business communication included - keeping work and personal phone/email communication separate

Qualifications:

  • Active Pennsylvania Physical Therapy license

  • Active driver's license with reliable transportation
