Ready to Run a Clinic Without Losing the Clinician You Became?
- What if leadership did not mean drifting away from patients, drowning in administration, or becoming the middle manager who absorbs pressure from above and passes it down? What if running a clinic meant building people up, owning results that actually matter, and still treating the patients who remind you why you did this? What if you could still be challenged, increase your leadership skills, and still have a life outside of work?
- If you have led before, you already know how it usually goes. The title arrives and so does a pile of administration, less time with patients, and a stack of decisions you are handed to carry out but never got to shape. You spend your energy shielding your team from pressure instead of building them up, the leadership skills you actually wanted to sharpen get buried under tasks, and the clinician you worked so hard to become slowly fades. Your life outside of work gets whatever is left.
- It does not have to go that way. At Orthopaedics Plus, we believe the best clinicians thrive when they are supported in reaching their personal, professional, and financial goals, and we believe the exact same thing about the leaders who develop them. We have built a place where you can grow as a leader, stay sharp as a clinician, do your best work with great people, and still be home for dinner. We are not another outpatient clinic. We are a therapist-owned, fellowship-trained team committed to changing what it means to work in physical therapy, focused on real relationships, meaningful growth, and helping both our patients and our team members reach their full potential.
What You'll Earn: We built this role's compensation to match its weight.
- Target total compensation is roughly $110,000, with a realistic path to $130,000+ for a director who leads the clinic well.
- The structure has three parts:
- A competitive leadership base salary that does not depend on how many patients you personally treat, so you are never forced to choose between running the clinic and protecting your own visit count.
- Clinical treatment pay for the patients you do see, on our sustainable two-per-hour schedule.
- A performance scorecard bonus of up to $20,000, tied to the things a director actually controls: keeping your team, developing your clinicians, graduating patients successfully, and growing new-patient volume.
- You will know exactly how every dollar is earned. There are no vague "bonus potential" promises here. The scorecard is written down, it is measurable, and we review it with you.
Who We're Looking For:
- Are you a physical therapist who has outgrown a caseload-only role and wants to build something bigger than your own schedule? Do you want to develop other clinicians, own the outcomes of a whole team, and still keep your hands in patient care? Do you believe leadership is about responsibility rather than title?
