Now Hiring Physical Therapists!

Physical Therapist (New Grads & Experienced PTs Welcome)

Part-Time or Full Time PT wanted!

Tired of 3-4 patients an hour? Practice the way you were trained to.

For years, Scarpelli & Associates has been a staple of San Francisco's vibrant Castro District, an LGBTQI+ community. We don't advertise much, because we don't need to. We are the number 1 PT office that neighbors (and physicians) have sent their friends, partners, patients and parents to. Why? Because we treat the hard-to-treat cases, and stick with our patients until they fully resolve. Bottom line : In a city full of rushed visits, productivity goals, aide heavy clinics and burnt-out clinicians, people know they get real care here.

We're a small team, and a small community clinic, quiet and sweet - every patient is known by name. Now we're looking for a PT to grow with us. We don't want a cog. We want a partner in what this clinic becomes next. Someone who is invested, and brings their own ideas for being a staple and a legacy in this amazing career of physical therapy!

What work looks like

• One-on-one, hands-on care. You will either possess, or build deep skill in manual therapy and clinical reasoning, diagnostic eyes and hands. These are the things no algorithm or AI tool can do for a patient on the table. This clinic is known for training and possessing some of the best manual therapists in the Bay.

• Practice as a true diagnostician. We work toward being the community's first stop, a primary care PT, not the last referral on the list.

• Complex, meaningful cases. Physicians have been sending their complex patients who have already had physical therapy elsewhere to use for years. Your cases will include orthopedic, pelvic health, neurologic and everything in between, for a diverse community that deserves clinicians who see them fully.

Who you'll learn from

Our owner Dr. Cynthia Rose Koch, PT DPT OCS ERYT500, is a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and pelvic health certified physical therapist, who also holds the highest registered yoga training certification. She's deeply involved in advocacy through the APTA and CPTA. You'll get real mentorship from someone who is shaping the future of the profession, not checking boxes for a corporate residency program. Elizabeth Scarpelli, PT, OCS, FAAOMPT is the founder of the company and is currently retired, however, she offers mentorship on complex cases on a monthly basis. Development is not only optional, but advised, and regular consult/mentorship is built into your workload.

What we offer

• Competitive salary - with either more benefits, or a higher hourly rate : build your own package with a livable wage

• Mentorship from an OCS and pelvic-certified clinician

• Generous CEU budget plus paid time off to attend courses

• Protected time for passion projects, community outreach, and local, state and national advocacy

• 3 weeks paid time off (including 5 sick days and 10 vacation days)

• 7 paid holidays, in addition to paid vacation days

• 401K with 50%-100% of 6% match, immediately vested

• Commuter Benefits/HSA options

• Annual bonus program

• Team outings & Planning Sessions

• Healthcare stipend: choose the plan that fits your life instead of being locked into ours

- Real work-life balance. We mean it.

Why small is the point

No red tape and no layers of management. If you have an idea, whether it's a new program, a schedule that works better for your life, or a community workshop, we can make it happen next week instead of next fiscal year. You'll have a real stake in growing the clinic and the freedom to help shape it around the career you actually want. You will have ownership in your salary, and your values.

You might be a fit if you...

• Are a new grad hungry for strong mentorship, or an experienced PT ready to leave volume-driven care behind

• Want to stay somewhere for the long haul and build something you are proud of

• You want to teach students and train the next generation of PT's

• You would like to be involved in advocacy for our professin

• Love hands-on care and complex clinical reasoning

• Care about the LGBTQ community and want your work to matter beyond the clinic walls

• Hold (or will soon hold) a California PT license
