Apply for Staff Physical Therapist (New Grads Welcome)

The Kind of PT Job You Hoped Existed

Start your career like an athlete entering the big leagues—with coaching to guide you, teammates to support you, and a clear path to mastery.

No double bookings. No production-line pressure. No “figure it out on your own.”

Just focused, one-on-one care.

Spend your days doing what you intended to do when you started down the path of becoming a PT; helping patients feel better, move better and perform better so they can return to the lives they love—with a team behind you that’s just as committed to your growth as you are.

At Direct Orthopedic Therapy, we’re not trying to compete within the current system—we’re redefining what good physical therapy looks like, from the ground up, how it should’ve been all along.

Call it PT 2.0:

• Premium 1 on 1 care for patients.
• Real growth pathways for clinicians.
• No funny business, a practice model and a team that is truly aligned.

We’re building a championship team with A-players who crave accountability, thrive on collaboration, and show up every day ready to compete—for their patients, for their team, and for themselves.

Why New Grads Thrive Here

• You don’t need 10 years of experience.
• You need drive, discipline, and a coachable mindset.

This is the ideal home for new grads who aren't just looking for a stepping stone - as we’ve designed this role to be the perfect launchpad for physical therapists who are hungry to grow and ready to do the work.

You bring the initiative.

We’ll bring the mentorship, tools, and firepower to take you farther than you thought possible.

Think of it like training with a top-tier coaching staff:

• Watch Game Tape: We review cases, outcomes, and approach together to sharpen your skills every week.
• Player Development: We invest in your toolbox—manual therapy, dry needling, performance rehab, pelvic health, and more. For the intrapreneurs; we work on the soft skills… communication, leadership, influence, speaking, and business.
• Grow Together: Work, learn & grow as a team so we can celebrate the wins together.  Share in each other’s progress and push one another to hit the next level—together.
• 
  

If you're the type of person who says, “How can I improve?” before anyone else does—this is your team.

A Clinic Built for Clinicians:

We’re not just another PT clinic—we’re a purpose-built practice where therapists can do their best work.

• Best PT Practice in Ponte Vedra, The Beaches & Bold City
• Best Locally Owned Business (The Beaches)
• Recognized by: Ponte Vedra Recorder & Florida Times-Union

But the real prize? A place where clinicians actually love showing up.
