What are the responsibilities and job description for the Physical Therapist position at Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine?
Who should apply:
Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine is looking for a talented Physical Therapist to help create (alongside our Director of Physical Therapy) a physical therapy practice in conjunction with our thriving orthopedic surgery practice. We're looking for an expert physical therapist with 3 years of experience.
About Genesis:
Our goal is simple - to free our patients to be more active, more athletic, and to move freely in their bodies - accessible to everyone, not just the select few. That our patients, regardless of walk of life, move more freely, function better, and experience life to the full.
Thriving in the world requires mobility and freedom from pain, but our healthcare system often makes quality orthopedic care inaccessible to many who need it most - those on all public healthcare plans or those who lack insurance. We won't be able to solve our present medical challenges with a care delivery model designed in the past, which is why Genesis is constantly innovating.
This role will help us develop a physical therapy practice that will serve the underserved, who often have 45-minute drive times from their residence to their place of therapy (an untenable proposition).
Job Type: Full-time
Location: Skokie, IL
We're excited to hear from you.
Requirements
Essential characteristics:
Flexible hours, PTO, 401K, Healthcare Stipend, Other
