JOIN OUR TEAM
SEPT Physical Therapy is seeking a full-time Physical Therapist in the Shelby / Kings Mountain area of North Carolina to lead our outpatient orthopedic and neuro-rehabilitation clinic and, through our PartnerPath™ program, share in the value you create: a monthly share of the profit the clinic generates, plus a share of the clinic's value if it is ever sold. No buy-in. No personal guarantee. This role is designed for a PT who already knows the Cleveland County referral community and wants to be paid like a partner for the practice they build.

Job Overview & Work Site
Why PartnerPath is different
- Paid like a partner, without the buy-in. On top of a competitive base salary, you earn a percentage of the clinic's monthly profit and a multiple of its profit at sale. Full program terms are covered in the interview process.
- Your referral relationships become your asset. If orthopedic, neurology, sports-medicine and family-practice physicians in Shelby and Kings Mountain already trust you, this is where that trust pays off for you.
- The back office is handled. Billing and collections, credentialing, compliance, HR, payroll, marketing and technology are provided through Therapy Partner Solutions, so you can focus on patients and physicians.
- Clinical autonomy with a safety net. Set the clinical culture, hire your team, and build the service lines the community needs, backed by a company that operates clinics across multiple states.
- Community first. Shelby and Kings Mountain are your market. You will be the face of physical therapy for the patients and physicians who live here.
What you will do
- Evaluate and treat patients with orthopedic, post-surgical, sports and neurological conditions, maintaining a personal caseload.
- Build and steward physician referral relationships across orthopedics, neurology, primary care, sports medicine and pain management in Cleveland County.
- Lead the clinic team: recruit, mentor and develop PTs, PTAs and support staff.
- Own the clinic scorecard: new patient volume, referral mix, visits, patient outcomes and satisfaction, and clinic profitability.
- Represent SEPT in the community with physician practices, athletic programs, employers and civic organizations.

What you bring
