Now hiring: Physical Therapist

Alliance Physical Therapy is growing! If you can picture yourself working with gender- and sexuality-diverse patients in an autonomous clinical environment focused on excellence and education, then picture yourself on our team.

Currently, owner Lizzie Bellinger is seeking an experienced PT or a highly motivated new grad to join the team who is comfortable working with LGBTQ+ populations. Training in dry needling or pelvic floor therapy or Orthopedic Clinical Specialist certification will be an asset to the applicant.

Hours are flexible. As a small business, the most financially feasible arrangement is to have the new PT start at 2 days/week and gradually increase hours to least 30 hours/week as the caseload grows, but other arrangements will be considered for the right candidate.

Compensation is based on level of education and years of experience.
