Physical Therapist (Home Care – IDD Population)

We are excited to offer a unique opportunity to be part of building something new from the ground up. This role will play a key part in launching and shaping the therapy department at CBNS — giving you the chance to contribute ideas, influence processes, and help create a strong foundation for future success.

The position will begin on a part-time basis, allowing for development and strategic growth, with a clear pathway to full-time as the department expands. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is energized by innovation, enjoys creating structure where none yet exists, and wants to grow alongside a developing program.

If you are motivated by the chance to make a lasting impact and help drive meaningful growth, we would love to explore this opportunity with you.

Position Summary

We are seeking a compassionate and motivated Physical Therapist to join our team in providing specialized home care services to individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). This role offers a unique opportunity to work one-on-one and in small groups within structured group home settings, helping individuals improve mobility, strength, balance, and overall functional independence.

As a family-owned and operated accredited home health agency, we focus exclusively on serving individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities in a controlled environment designed to promote dignity, safety, and respect. Unlike traditional home care roles that require extensive travel across multiple counties, our therapists enjoy limited driving—typically no more than 15 miles between locations.
