Pediatric Physical Therapist – Early Intervention
Job Description:
Location: Rochester, NY and surrounding suburbs (Monroe County, surrounding counties, and Erie County)
The Opportunity
You'd be treating young children where they actually live and learn — homes, daycares, the places where their days happen — at $60 to $70 per hour, with the schedule built around what works for you rather than a clinic's appointment grid.
For pediatric PTs, this is a different way to practice. No waiting room. No back-to-back slots in a treatment gym. You drive to your kids, you work in their natural environment, and you build the kind of relationship with a family that makes progress stick. The territory is deliberately kept small, so you're not spending your day on the highway.
Two positions are open, and both full-time and part-time are available.
Why This Opportunity Is Worth a Look
- $60–$70 per hour, fee-for-service
- Flexible scheduling built around your availability
- Manageable, well-organized caseloads within a tight, localized geographic territory
- Mileage reimbursement
- Relocation assistance paid — candidates considered nationwide
- Option to work through the summer months if you want the additional hours
- Full benefits for eligible employees: health, dental, and vision insurance; paid holidays, sick leave, and PTO; paid life insurance; voluntary supplemental benefits; 401(k) with company contribution
What Your Week Looks Like
- Travel a defined local territory to see children in their natural environments
- Deliver early childhood intervention PT with a relationship-centered approach — you're working with the family, not just the child
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary early intervention team
- Work with supportive clinical supervision available when you want a second set of eyes on a case
- Set your caseload volume by choosing full-time or part-time
What We're Looking For
- Active New York State Physical Therapy license
- Master's degree in Physical Therapy
- Willingness to travel within a localized service territory
- Experience level open — new grads through seasoned pediatric clinicians will be considered
Why Candidates Say Yes
The pay is strong for pediatrics, the driving is contained, and the caseloads are organized rather than piled on. PTs who come from outpatient or school-based settings often tell us the biggest difference is autonomy — you run your day, you make the clinical calls, and you see the same kids long enough to watch them change.
Rochester makes the math work, too. Housing costs are well below major metro markets, the arts and museum scene is genuinely good, and the Finger Lakes, state parks, and trail systems are a short drive for anyone who wants their weekends outside.
Ready to Explore?
If you're a pediatric PT — or an experienced clinician who's been curious about early intervention — this is worth a conversation. Reach out and I'll walk you through the caseload structure, the territory, and how the scheduling actually works day to day.
