Are you a passionate Physical Therapist who’s ready to take the next step - not just treating patients, but building a world-class department that changes how healthcare is delivered?

If you’re a go-getter who leads with heart, thrives on growth, and loves seeing others succeed - this might be the most exciting opportunity you’ll read this year…
About Us:
At CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates, we’re not your typical PT clinic. We’re a cash-based, high-performing, and people-first team 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), Pilates-based rehab, and cutting-edge regenerative technologies like Shockwave and EMTT to deliver unmatched results.
We’re growing fast - and ready to take this business to the next level. That means building a world-class Physical Therapy Department that fuels our expanding Regenerative Medicine and Longevity programs - and we need a Clinical Director to make that happen.

Take ownership of the recruitment, hiring, onboarding, and training of PTs and support staff.
Develop clear standards, systems, and SOPs that ensure consistent, world-class outcomes.
Lead and mentor a team of up to 5–6 clinicians and techs - helping them grow both personally and professionally.
Partner with our CEO and General Manager to elevate operations and scale our clinical, regenerative therapy, and longevity offerings.
Protect the energy of the CEO by owning the PT department - keeping it running smoothly and exceptionally.
You understand that leadership is about results, relationships, and raising the bar for everyone around you.
What You’ll Be Doing:
This is a hybrid clinical and leadership role designed for someone who loves treating patients and building systems.
Treatment: 24–26 hours/week of 1-on-1 patient care (60-minute sessions, all cash-pay)
Leadership/Development: 10–12 hours/week focused on:
Recruitment and onboarding of new PTs
Leading weekly clinical trainings
Developing SOPs and performance tracking systems
Conducting 1:1s and performance reviews
Collaborating with leadership on business and department growth
This Role Is Perfect For You If...
You’re growth-minded and love leading others to success.
You naturally take charge and can balance empathy with accountability.
You think about the business even when you’re not at work - because you care about impact.
You’re energized by solving problems, building systems, and seeing your team thrive.
You want to be part of something bigger - helping create a scalable, sellable company that redefines how people experience healthcare.
Qualifications:
Doctorate or Master’s in Physical Therapy (NH license or eligible)
5+ years of outpatient ortho experience preferred
