Physical Therapist Team Leader: Work-Life Balance + Culture and Impact + Realistic Productivity + Si

Ready to Lead a Team Without Losing Yourself in the Process or Burning Out?

• What if leadership could be different? What if it didn’t mean burning out, losing touch with patients, or feeling like a middle manager? What if your job helped your team grow? What if it led to great results? And what if it encouraged enjoying life outside of work? At Orthopaedics Plus, leadership means leading with purpose. You’ll lead and develop a team of 8-10 skilled PTs. You will take part in strategic decisions and help shape the future of Orthopaedics Plus, all while staying true to your values. We’re a therapist-owned, fellowship-trained practice that prioritizes relationships, growth, and balance. Here, your leadership makes a difference—in your team, your patients, and your career.

Who We're Looking For: 

• Are you a purpose-driven leader who thrives on developing others and building high-performing teams? Do you want to grow personally and professionally—while helping your team do the same? Do you see leadership as helping your people, achieving important results, and fostering a culture that makes work a part of life, not a burden? Ready to lead a team that values growth, collaboration, and challenging the status quo? If so, we want to meet you!

You’ll have time to improve your leadership skills, support your team, and achieve results for the organization. This isn’t about doing extra work on your own time. We schedule you to breathe, not burn out. Realistic caseloads. Paid time off. Zero catch-up expectations.
  
  


• A Truly Supportive Culture: Weekly team meetings always happen; monthly in-services always happen. 1:1s aren’t optional—they’re sacred. These foster support, feedback, and development. As a Team Leader, you’ll run the PT team meeting and own your team’s growth rhythms. Leadership at Orthopaedics Plus listens and takes action. You will directly influence the company’s direction. This will happen through quarterly off-sites, monthly strategic meetings, and weekly tactical sessions. When meetings, 1:1s, and in-services happen, your productivity targets adjust. You’ll never be expected to “make up” for growing professionally.

You’ll learn to lead with context, not control. This means empowering your team with the “why” behind the “what.” You’ll create lasting alignment. Plus, you get protected time for strategic thinking, reflection, and planning. It’s not just about rushing from one task to the next. This isn’t a “your team vs. corporate” environment. Our leadership team is one team. We work together first, then lead our individual teams with clarity and unity. You will receive coaching, support, and challenges. This will help you grow into a leader who drives results, cares for the culture, and helps others succeed too.

My teammates make work a happy place. They also promote a patient-first culture. There is a lot of opportunity and openness to give feedback on processes. The organization has clear growth tracks, which help me see my possible future paths.
  
  


• My favorite part about OP has to be my coworkers. Everyone at OP supports and upholds our culture. I also have a great ability to talk to leadership, which you don't see at a lot of other places. The camaraderie of my coworkers keeps me here. I love helping people who appreciate my work. That joy makes my job rewarding. These are what have kept me here for so many years. 
  
  


• I love the friendliness and camaraderie we share in the clinic at OP. It's fun, light, and we work together to help patients and each other. The people I work with keep me here. I enjoy seeing my own patients regularly.
  
  


• The doc time, realistic productivity expectations, and mentorship make this the best PT job I’ve ever had. I never miss a team meeting or 1:1, because they’re built into the schedule. That makes all the difference.
