About This Role
This part-time school-based role involves delivering physical therapy services to students throughout the school year. You'll assess children's motor skills and physical capabilities, then design and carry out targeted interventions to address individual needs. Your days include evaluating students, implementing treatment plans, documenting progress, and collaborating with teachers and families to support each child's development. The position runs on the school calendar (26-27 weeks), offering predictable hours and time off during school breaks. You'll earn $53-$58 per hour. This role suits licensed physical therapists who enjoy working with children, thrive in educational settings, and want flexibility without the demands of full-time clinical practice.

Frequently asked questions
What license do I need to apply?
An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.
Is this a school-year or year-round position?
School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.
What experience is expected?
Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
