🌟 We're Hiring: Physical Therapist!

Location: Providence, RI, Pawtucket, RI, Central Falls, RI 
Reports To: Program Supervisor
Employment Type: Full-Time - Monday- Friday, 8 hour shifts

Are you passionate about helping young children reach their fullest potential? At Children’s Friend, we’re seeking a compassionate and dedicated Physical Therapist to join our Early Intervention team, where you’ll work hands-on with families of children from birth to age three who are experiencing developmental delays or medical conditions.

🧸 What You’ll Do:

  • Partner with families to promote healthy growth through hands-on, family-centered physical therapy.

  • Evaluate and support developmental progress, helping create and implement Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs).

  • Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of professionals to deliver holistic and coordinated services.

  • Maintain accurate, confidential documentation and meet productivity standards.

  • Support transitions as children graduate from Early Intervention programs.

  • Engage in continuous learning and professional development.


✨ You Bring:

  • A degree in Physical Therapy and current licensure.

  • At least 2 years of experience working with young children (experience with special needs is a plus).

  • A valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and insurance.

  • The ability to work independently, adapt to diverse families, and contribute meaningfully to a team.

 

🌱 Why Join Children’s Friend?

At Children’s Friend, we believe every child deserves a strong start. As part of our team, you’ll have the chance to grow professionally, contribute meaningfully, and be part of a diverse and inclusive workplace where your efforts matter every day.
