What are the responsibilities and job description for the Orthotist (CO or CPO) position at Orthopedic Specialties of New Jersey?
Orthopedic Specialties, a small ABC-accredited orthotics practice in Rochelle Park, NJ (in business since 1988), is hiring a part-time orthotist. You'd see patients alongside our certified orthotist, with a particular focus on scoliosis bracing — including the Providence Nocturnal Scoliosis® System. That caseload has room to grow, and we want someone who'd like to grow with it.
What you'd do:
• Evaluate patients, take measurements and casts, and fit and adjust custom orthoses
• Fit nighttime scoliosis braces (Providence) for adolescents, alongside spinal, lower-limb, and upper-limb work from our general caseload
• Handle follow-ups and adjustments, and document your clinical work
• See patients mostly in our ABC-accredited Rochelle Park office, with occasional home and facility visits
What we're looking for:
• ABC-certified orthotist (CO or CPO); board-eligible candidates will be considered
• New Jersey orthotist license, or eligibility for licensure
• Experience fitting the Providence Nocturnal Scoliosis® System — or the willingness to learn it. If you haven't taken Spinal Technology's Providence training, we'll set it up at no cost to you.
• At ease with adolescents and their parents as well as older patients
Schedule is part-time and flexible: hours are built around scheduled fittings, and we'll set the days with you. A good fit whether you're an experienced orthotist easing back from full-time work or a newer practitioner adding scoliosis experience.
