Physical Therapist / PACE Program
Stockton, CA
$100,000 – $130,000 Base + Bonus + Equity
The Opportunity
We are a mission-driven healthcare organization dedicated to serving seniors with a holistic, human-centered approach. We are looking for a Physical Therapist to join our Interdisciplinary Team (IDT).
This role is different from the standard clinic grind. If you are tired of high-volume mills and "churn and burn" rehab, this is your opportunity to make a real difference without sacrificing your work/life balance.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Low Patient Volumes: We prioritize quality over quantity. No more seeing 3-4 patients an hour.
- True Work/Life Balance: We mean it. You will not be stuck doing hours of documentation after your shift ends.
- Holistic Care Model: You will act as a core member of an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), collaborating daily with doctors, social workers, and other specialists to care for the whole person.
- Meaningful Relationships: Move beyond short-term rehab stints. You will form long-term relationships with participants, helping them age with dignity in their own communities.
Essential Duties
- Assessments: Conduct Physical Therapy assessments in our center (and occasionally in-home) to define care needs, preferences, and functional goals.
- Care Planning: Participate actively in IDT meetings to assist in the development and adjustment of participant care plans.
- Interventions: Deliver and document interventions utilizing active/passive exercise, muscle re-education, gait training, and functional training for ADLs.
- Therapeutic Modalities: Utilize treatments including soft tissue mobilization, thermal agents, ultrasound, hydrotherapy, and electrical stimulation as indicated.
- Supervision: Supervise Therapy Assistants (PTAs), providing the mentorship needed to implement Functional Maintenance Programs (FMP).
- Education: Train staff, participants, and family caregivers on the safe use of therapeutic equipment and home safety.
Requirements
Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy required; Master’s or Doctorate (DPT) preferred.

- Experience:
- 2+ years of clinical experience preferred (Outpatient, Acute, Inpatient, or Skilled Nursing backgrounds welcome).
- Experience with a frail or elderly population is highly preferred.
- Certifications: Current CPR certification (preferred).
Benefits
- Retirement: 401(k) savings plan with company match.
- Health: Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage.
- Time Off: 35 Total Paid Days Off (17 days PTO, 12 Observed Holidays, and 6 Sick Days).
