- Become the clinical champion for workers’ compensation, work conditioning, and employer services at the Avenue.
- Inherit existing employer relationships and services while actively identifying and pursuing opportunities for growth.
- Build strong internal referral relationships across Rock Valley so clinicians know when and how to connect appropriate patients with the Avenue’s work-conditioning and employer-services programs.
- Develop expertise in post-offer employment testing (POET), including WorkSTEPS protocols and drug-screening services delivered in-house at the Avenue.
- Grow into additional capabilities such as functional capacity evaluations and job-site assessments as the program and your expertise develop.

You will not be asked to build this alone.

As the program grows, the role is expected to evolve into the Avenue Employer Services Lead, with the potential for protected development time and relevant training or certification in POET/WorkSTEPS and functional capacity evaluations based on program needs and demonstrated performance.
A Clinic Built for This Work
The Avenue is an approximately 6,000-square-foot clinic with five private treatment rooms, six gym treatment tables, a fitness area, and dedicated work-conditioning space. You will join a collaborative team of physical therapists, an occupational therapist, a physical therapist assistant, an Employer
Services specialist, a strength and conditioning professional, and experienced front-office support.
Why This Role Is Different
This is not a traditional staff-clinician opening and it is not an offsite position. It is an opportunity to deliver excellent orthopedic care today while shaping what employer services can become at the Avenue tomorrow. If you are energized by building relationships, improving systems, developing specialized expertise, and creating growth through action, we would like to meet you.
