Are You Ready to Lead the Next Evolution of Physical Therapy?

If you're a passionate Physical Therapist ready to take the next step - not just treating patients, but building a world-class department that changes how healthcare is delivered - this might be the most exciting opportunity you'll read this year.

At CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates, we're growing fast - and we're looking for a Clinical Director who wants to lead, build, and leave a legacy.

About Us

CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates is a cash-based, people-first, high-performing clinic located in downtown Portsmouth, NH.

We specialize in helping adults 40+ stay active, mobile, and pain-free without pills, procedures, or surgery.

Our approach blends:

Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT/McKenzie Method)

Pilates-based rehab and movement

Cutting-edge regenerative technologies like Shockwave Therapy (EPAT/ESWT) and EMTT

We're entering our next phase of growth - expanding into regenerative medicine and longevity care - and we need a strong, visionary Clinical Director to build and lead the PT team that makes it happen.

Who We're Looking For

You're not just a great clinician - you're a builder, a coach, and a strategic thinker who thrives on growth and helping others achieve excellence.

You're ready to:

Lead and mentor a team of 5-6 clinicians and techs - growing them personally and professionally.

Develop systems and standards that ensure consistent, world-class outcomes.

Recruit, hire, onboard, and train future PTs and support staff as the clinic scales.

Collaborate with the CEO and Operations Manager to integrate clinical performance with business growth.

Protect the CEO's energy by owning the PT department and ensuring it runs smoothly and independently.

You understand that leadership isn't about control - it's about clarity, accountability, and empowerment.

What You'll Be Doing

This is a hybrid clinical + leadership position for someone who loves treating patients and leading others.

Clinical Care (24-28 hours/week):

Deliver one-on-one, 60-minute patient sessions (100% cash-pay).
Perform 30-minute regenerative therapy sessions (Shockwave + EMTT) to accelerate recovery and enhance outcomes.
Conduct Discovery Sessions that connect with prospective clients and consistently convert 80% of free visits into paying clients.
Apply the MDT framework to identify root causes, eliminate pain, and restore long-term function.
Collaborate with the clinical and regenerative therapy teams to ensure continuity of care and exceptional client experiences.

Leadership & Development (12-20 hours/week):

Lead weekly clinical trainings and ongoing professional development for PTs and support staff.
Build, document, and refine SOPs, systems, and performance tracking tools that ensure consistent, world-class outcomes.
Conduct 1:1 meetings, mentorship sessions, and performance reviews to foster accountability and growth.
Partner with the CEO and Operations Manager on recruitment, onboarding, and strategic expansion initiatives.
Drive alignment between the PT department, regenerative therapy programs, and company growth goals.

This Role Is Perfect For You If...
You're growth-minded and passionate about developing others.
You thrive when you can balance empathy with accountability - creating a culture that feels both safe and high-performing.
You're an exceptional people manager who leads with clarity, consistency, and care - protecting the emotional bandwidth of the CEO by keeping your team aligned, supported, and self-sufficient.
You think like an owner, not an employee - taking full responsibility for outcomes and the energy you bring to the room.
You're energized by building systems, solving problems, and elevating performance.
You want to help shape the future of a company that's redefining how people experience healthcare.

Qualifications
Doctorate or Master's in Physical Therapy (NH license or eligible).
5+ years of outpatient ortho experience preferred.
Proven leadership and mentoring experience required.
MDT, Pilates-based rehab, or regenerative therapy training a strong plus.
Excellent communicator with emotional intelligence and business acumen.

Compensation & Benefits
Salary: $110K-$125K base (depending on experience).
Generous bonus potential tied to department growth, outcomes, and leadership impact.
$250/month contribution toward company-sponsored health insurance.
401(k) with up to 4% company match.
PTO + paid holidays.
Paid holiday week (Christmas-New Year's).
Unlimited leadership and CEU growth potential - opportunities for advanced training, certifications, and mentorship that align directly with the company's vision and strategic growth initiatives.
