Job Description:

Job Description Job Description Location: Sterling, VA (Northern Virginia) Schedule: Full-Time | Mon–Fri | 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM (No Evenings or Weekends) Compensation: $85,000 – $105,000 Profit Sharing & Performance Incentives The Opportunity: Harrison Gray Search has partnered with a premier, owner-operated outpatient practice in Sterling that is actively challenging the "corporate mill" status quo. If you are currently seeing 20 patients a day and feel your clinical quality is suffering, this is the specialized environment you’ve been looking for. Quality Over Volume: While corporate competitors push for 22 patients a day, our client’s therapists typically see only 8 patients in a full day . Specialized Caseload: This is a niche practice focused on high-quality rehabilitation for injured workers, including post-operative care, trauma, and complex Workers' Comp cases. The "8-to-4" Lifestyle: Our client offers a strict 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM schedule. There are no late nights, no weekends, and no expectation of "catch-up" charting at home. The Role: Clinical Leadership & Autonomy We are seeking a seasoned Physical Therapist to take over the day-to-day clinical leadership of the Sterling office. This role is designed for a clinician who wants to "own" their space. You will work closely with the owner—who oversees multiple locations—allowing her to focus on growth while you lead the clinical team in Sterling. Clinical Mix: 85% Clinical / 15% Leadership & Relationship Management. Autonomy: You will frequently serve as the primary clinical lead on-site. Our client values clinicians who can operate independently and maintain a strong clinical reputation. Relationship Building: Support the practice’s growth by maintaining ties with referring physicians and nurse case managers. Long-Term Rewards & Equity Our client is looking for a partner, not just an employee. They offer a comprehensive benefits package designed for long-term retention: Earned Equity: A clear, documented path to equity ownership in the business at the 5-year mark . Profit Sharing: Performance-based profit sharing is provided in addition to the base salary. Licensure & Certifications: The practice covers your Virginia licensure fees and required professional certifications. Professional Development: Financial support for Industrial Health specializations and paid time during work hours to complete coursework. Full Benefits: 401(k), Health, Dental, and a PTO plan that increases with tenure. Qualifications Graduate of an APTA-accredited Physical Therapy program. Active Virginia PT License (Required). Minimum 3 Years of Outpatient Ortho Experience: Due to the complexity of the Workers' Comp caseload, our client cannot accept new grads for this leadership role. Local Focus: Ideally residing within 15–20 miles of Sterling/Northern Virginia. Entrepreneurial mindset with a high sense of professional responsibility.
