Physical Therapist – New Grads & Experienced Therapists Welcome
Location: Jefferson & Commerce, GA (just outside Athens)
Type: Full-Time | Relocation Assistance Available
About Our Client
Our Client's physical therapy practice has been part of the Northeast Georgia community since 2005, with a second location opening in Commerce in 2012 to keep up with growing demand. Both clinics share the same philosophy: a welcoming, low-pressure environment where patients get the time and attention they deserve, and where clinicians have the autonomy to actually practice the way they were trained.
Work Where You Love to Play
If you've ever vacationed in North Georgia and thought "I could live here" — this is your chance. Our clinics sit just outside Athens, in the heart of one of the most livable corners of the Southeast. You're minutes from the University of Georgia, a short drive to Atlanta when you want a city weekend, and surrounded by lakes, trails, and small-town charm the rest of the time.
Live where people vacation. Athens brings a nationally recognized food and music scene, SEC football, top-rated schools, and a college-town energy that doesn't quit. Lake Hartwell, the Blue Ridge foothills, and the Chattahoochee National Forest are all within easy reach for weekend hiking, boating, and camping.
A commute that gives you time back. Easy drive from Athens, Oconee County, Watkinsville, Winder, and surrounding communities. No traffic-choked metro slog, no two-hour round trips.
Lifestyle that fits real life. Lower cost of living than Atlanta or most major metros, strong public and private schools, abundant outdoor recreation, and a tight-knit community feel that's increasingly hard to find.
Relocation Assistance Available
We know moving is a big decision, and we want to make it easier. Relocation support is on the table and is negotiable based on your experience and individual circumstances. Whether you're an experienced clinician relocating a household or a new graduate making your first big move, let's have an honest conversation about what would help you say yes.**
The Role**
You'll evaluate and treat patients of all ages with orthopedic and sports-related conditions, building individualized plans that actually move the needle on mobility, pain, and function.
Day-to-day, you'll:
- Evaluate and diagnose a wide range of orthopedic and sports-related conditions
- Develop and implement individualized, evidence-based treatment plans
- Monitor patient progress and adjust care as needed
- Educate patients and families on technique and home exercise programs
