Physical Therapist – Leadership & Mentorship Track
Next Level Sports Performance is seeking a Physical Therapist ready to step into a role that blends clinical excellence with leadership, mentorship, and meaningful influence on clinic culture. If you thrive in environments where your ideas matter, your mentorship shapes developing clinicians, and your clinical standards elevate the entire team, this is the role built for you.
We specialize in orthopedics, sports injuries, post‑operative rehab, chronic pain, and performanceoptimization. Our clinical identity is movement‑based, performance‑driven, and rooted in evidence‑based orthopedic care.
We treat in a modern, open-performance environment rather than private treatment rooms, allowing for real-time collaboration, visibility, and dynamic rehab that mirrors actual movement and sport.
We also leverage AI‑assisted documentation tools to streamline charting, reduce administrative burden, and support clear, consistent communication across the team — giving you more time to mentor, collaborate, and focus on patient care.
Your Leadership Impact
- Deliver individualized, one‑on‑one orthopedic and sports care in our open treatment space.
- Serve as a clinical leader, modeling best practices, elevating standards, and contributing to clinic-wide decision-making.
- Mentor new graduates and developing clinicians through structured guidance, case reviews, and collaborative treatment planning.
- Lead or co-lead specialty caseloads aligned with your expertise (sports performance, orthopedics, manual therapy, return‑to‑sport progressions).
- Help shape clinical protocols, progressions, and evidence‑based treatment frameworks.
- Support a culture of accountability, communication, and professional excellence.
- Utilize AI‑supported documentation to maintain efficient, accurate, and streamlined patient records.

- Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)

- Demonstrated ability to manage a caseload independently

- Commitment to evidence‑based practice and continuous learning
