This is more than a job—it’s a chance to leave a lasting imprint on individuals, families, and communities by restoring meaningful participation in work, school, play, and everyday routines.

Collaboration is central: you’ll work with physicians, therapists from other disciplines, case managers, and family members to coordinate care, optimize mobility, and accelerate recovery. You’ll have real opportunities for professional advancement within a supportive, learning-oriented environment, including access to mentorship, ongoing clinical education, and leadership pathways as you demonstrate impact.
