A Live In Lighthouse Keeper is responsible for maintaining and overseeing the operation of a lighthouse while residing on-site. Duties may include ensuring the light functions properly, performing general maintenance, monitoring weather conditions, and responding to emergencies.

Daily tasks may include recording weather conditions, communicating with nearby vessels or coastguards, and conducting safety checks and minor repairs. In addition, keepers often manage logbooks and may be involved in groundskeeping or minor administrative duties. Due to the remote nature of the position, self-organization and proactive problem-solving are essential to handle unexpected issues efficiently.

To thrive as a Live In Lighthouse Keeper, candidates should possess mechanical aptitude, strong observational skills, and basic first aid knowledge, often supported by experience in facility maintenance or maritime operations. Familiarity with navigational aids, weather monitoring instruments, and emergency communication systems is typically required. Exceptional self-reliance, problem-solving, and effective written communication are valuable soft skills in this solitary position. These abilities ensure the lighthouse operates reliably, safety standards are upheld, and vital information is properly relayed even in remote and potentially adverse conditions.

Company Description

Physical Therapist — Anchorage / Mat-Su Valley

$100-120K salary | $130-150,000k Total Compensation | $3,000 CEU | Mentorship | Career Growth

You Already Know Why Alaska Is Great. Let's Talk About Where You Practice.

If you're a Physical Therapist already living in Alaska, you probably aren't looking for someone to sell you on the mountains, fishing, skiing, or Midnight Sun.

You already get it.

The better question is:

Are you excited about where your PT career is going?

At Empower Physical Therapy, we're building a place where great clinicians can continue getting better, earn a great living, enjoy the people they work with, and build a long-term career without losing the reasons they became a PT in the first place.

We're looking for Physical Therapists in Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley who might be ready for something different.

What Would Make You Change PT Jobs?

We think it should take more than a slightly different salary.

It should mean joining a clinic where you're genuinely excited about your future.

Becoming a Better Clinician

We invest heavily in clinical development. Our therapists have backgrounds in orthopedics, sports rehabilitation, pelvic health, manual therapy, dry needling, and spinal manipulation.

You'll have access to:

  • $3,000 annual continuing education allowance
  • Structured mentorship for newer graduates with blocked time to work on clinical skills
  • Regular collaboration with experienced clinicians
  • Professional and leadership development

Whether you've been practicing for six months or ten years, we want you to look back after joining Empower and know that you've grown.

Work With Patients Who Want to Get Back to Living

We like to call many of our patients the Alaskan Athlete.

That doesn't mean they're all competitive athletes.

They're parents, nurses, construction workers, slopers, runners, skiers, hikers, hunters, fishermen, weekend warriors, and everyday Alaskans who don't want pain or an injury keeping them from doing what they love or the things they need to live in Alaska.

Our job is to help them get back to it. That makes therapy more rewarding and a lot more fun.

Work Somewhere You Actually Like Your Team

We pride ourselves on our team and culture! We feel like you should love who you work with and have a blast when you get to be with them. Some lifelong friends have come from working at Empower. Our owners, directors and leaders work alongside our clinicians and administrative team to make it one big Empower TEAM. Our values are part of everyday conversations, decisions, and how we treat one another.

And we actually spend time together outside of work.

Our team has done:

  • Company ocean fishing trips
  • Whitewater rafting
  • Family BBQs
  • Hikes, paddleboarding, sledding
  • Paint nights
  • Arcade nights
  • Team events and Alaska adventures

One of the things we hear most often from employees, traveling therapists, and patients, is how welcoming, friendly, and supportive our team feels. That's something we take pride in and are looking for others that want that!

Job Description

Build a Career Here

We're not looking for someone to simply fill an opening. We're looking for PTs who want to grow with us. As Empower continues to grow, we want our clinicians to have opportunities to grow too, clinically, professionally, financially, and as leaders. With opening new locations and expanding our reach in Alaska, we continue to look for more leaders to help us on this path.

Compensation & Benefits

Your work should be rewarded.

Our compensation and benefits include:

  • $130,000-150,000 Total compensation
  • $100,000-120,000 salary
  • Performance bonus opportunities
  • Opportunities for future profit sharing and/or ownership
  • $3,000 annual continuing education allowance
  • Structured mentorship and professional development
  • 401(k) with 3% employer match
  • Medical insurance with significant employer contribution
  • Dental and vision insurance available
  • Flexible Spending Account
  • Employer-paid long-term disability insurance
  • Employer-paid life insurance
  • 15-25 days PTO, increasing with longevity
  • 6 paid major holidays
  • 75% discount on Empower PT services for employees and immediate family members
Qualifications

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a Physical Therapist who:

  • Graduated from a CAPTE-accredited Physical Therapy program
  • Holds or is eligible for an Alaska Physical Therapy license
  • Wants to continue growing clinically
  • Values collaboration over competition
  • Communicates well with patients and coworkers
  • Wants to contribute ideas instead of simply following a script
  • Cares about delivering excellent patient care
  • Wants to be part of a team they genuinely enjoy

Additional Information

Maybe You're Not Actively Looking.

That's okay. Some of the best career changes start with a conversation.

If you've wondered what else is out there—or whether there's a clinic where you could grow more, earn more, enjoy your team more, and get excited about practicing physical therapy again—we'd love to meet you.

No pressure and no complicated process. Just come learn more about Empower and see if it might be a better fit.

You don't need a new career.

You might just need a better place to build it.
