Physical Therapist (New Grads Welcome)!

Build Your Physical Therapy Career Around One-on-One Care, Clinical Autonomy, and a Schedule That Gives You Your Life Back

You became a Physical Therapist to evaluate movement, solve meaningful problems, and help people get back to the activities that make life feel like theirs again.

At Mangrum Physical Therapy, you will have the time and clinical freedom to actually practice Physical Therapy that way.

You will provide one-on-one outpatient Physical Therapy during 40-minute appointments, maintain a sustainable caseload, and have dedicated time to think through patient progress instead of rushing from one treatment to the next.

You will also have flexible full-time scheduling, structured mentorship, AI-assisted documentation, and opportunities to grow beyond your caseload as the practice continues to expand.

Whether you are a new graduate building your clinical foundation or an experienced Physical Therapist ready for more autonomy and influence, this is an opportunity to build a career that can grow with you.

We are hiring a Full-Time Physical Therapist for our therapist-owned outpatient orthopedic practice in Efland, North Carolina.

• Four 10-hour days
• Four 9-hour days and one 4-hour day

Once your schedule is selected, it will remain consistent so you can plan your week with confidence.

Practice Physical Therapy With More Time to Treat

That means more time to:

You will be able to stay focused on the patient in front of you and provide the level of care you were trained to deliver.

You will have space to use your clinical reasoning instead of relying on a rushed treatment schedule.

Spend More Time With Patients and Less Time Fighting Documentation

Documentation is expected to be completed within 24 hours, and you will have tools and clinic support to help keep administrative work manageable.

The goal is simple.

Spend more of your energy practicing Physical Therapy and less of it catching up on notes after the workday ends.
