What are the responsibilities and job description for the Physical Therapy Clinical Specialist position at Brine Group?
Physical Therapy Clinical Specialist
đź“Ť Boston, MA (Major Academic Medical Center)
💼 Full-Time | Monday–Friday Day Shift | No Weekends/Holidays
💰 $10,000 Sign-On Bonus | Salary $120K–$160K DOE
We’re partnering with one of Boston’s most respected academic teaching hospitals to hire two Physical Therapy Clinical Specialists for their high-acuity inpatient team:
- Clinical Specialist – Cardiac
- Clinical Specialist – Orthopedics / Burns / Medical ICU
(Note: experience in these areas is a plus – what’s more important is having 5 years of experience in an acute care setting and mentoring experience/ability.)
These roles are perfect for experienced acute-care PTs who want to grow into a player-coach capacity—mentoring staff, shaping clinical practice, and working at top of license, without administrative burden or personnel management.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Player-coach model: mentorship-focused, not supervisory
- High-acuity caseload strong interdisciplinary collaboration
- Work at a globally respected teaching hospital
- 4x10 or 4x9 work schedule options after one year
- Robust clinical support evidence-based practice environment
- $10K sign-on bonus
- Tuition reimbursement, strong benefits, subsidized MBTA pass
What You'll Do
- Provide advanced PT evaluation and treatment in an acute-care setting
- Caseload focus: Cardiac or Ortho/Burns/Medical ICU
- Mentor and develop a team of 6–10 therapists and support staff
- Lead orientation, competencies, and ongoing clinical education
- Participate in quality improvement, clinical standards, and program development
- Act as a clinical resource and liaison for nursing and physician partners
Who We’re Looking For
Required:
- Doctorate or Master’s in PT
- MA PT license (or eligibility)
- 5 years acute-care experience
- Strong mentoring/teaching ability
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- BLS
Preferred (not required):
- ABPTS Board Certification (support available to obtain certification within 1 year)
Specialty experience (cardiac, burns, ortho, medical ICU) is welcome—but mentorship ability and acute-care strength matter more.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision
- Tuition reimbursement
- Retirement plans
- Subsidized public transit pass
- Extensive employee perks continuing education
Salary : $120,000 - $160,000
