Opportunities

Help Us Build the Practice Families Hope to Find.

Build Our Youth Sports Performance Program While Changing the Lives of Children.

At Chatterbox Pediatric Therapy, we believe movement is about so much more than walking, running, or reaching developmental milestones.

Movement is how children explore.

How they play.

How they build confidence.

How they make friends.

How they keep up with their siblings.

How they return to the game they love.

How they discover what's possible.

Whether it's an infant learning to crawl, a child with cerebral palsy navigating the playground, or a middle school athlete returning to soccer after an ACL injury, our mission is the same:

Help every child participate more fully in the life they want to live.

We're looking for an exceptional Physical Therapist who believes exceptional movement begins with exceptional relationships—and who wants to help build the future of pediatric physical therapy at Chatterbox.

Help Build Something That Doesn't Exist Yet.

Most positions ask you to join an established program.

This one asks you to help create it.

We're investing in a pediatric sports rehabilitation and performance program that combines evidence-based physical therapy with injury prevention, athletic development, movement optimization, and return-to-sport programming for young athletes.

You'll have the opportunity to help shape:

Sports rehabilitation services

Return-to-play programming

Injury prevention programs

Running and movement analysis

Speed and agility training

Strength and conditioning for youth athletes

Sports performance camps

Community workshops

School and youth league partnerships

Your ideas will help define this program from the very beginning.

This isn't simply an opportunity to run someone else's program.

It's an opportunity to help shape what pediatric sports rehabilitation can look like in our community.

If you've ever thought,

"If I could build a pediatric sports program, here's how I'd do it..."

...we want to hear those ideas.

Why Clinicians Choose Chatterbox

We know you have choices when it comes to where you build your career.

At Chatterbox, we've intentionally created an environment where clinicians feel supported, respected, challenged, and encouraged to grow—because we believe exceptional care starts with exceptional people.

Here, you'll find:

A collaborative team of Physical, Occupational, Speech, and Music Therapists who genuinely enjoy learning from one another.

Child-led, neuro-affirming, evidence-informed care focused on helping children participate more fully in everyday life.

Strong mentorship and opportunities for leadership development.

Paid administrative time through our hybrid compensation model.

Dedicated administrative support for scheduling, insurance authorizations, and billing.

Leadership committed to transparency, servant leadership, and investing in people—not just productivity.

A workplace where appreciation, integrity, empathy, responsibility, and continuous growth aren't just words—they're how we care for one another.

A Variety of Clinical Opportunities

No two Physical Therapists are exactly alike—and neither are our caseloads.

We'll work with you to build a schedule that aligns with your interests, strengths, and professional goals.

Depending on your interests, opportunities may include:

Outpatient pediatric therapy in our collaborative clinic

Early Intervention services through Georgia's Babies Can't Wait program

Therapy provided in children's natural environments

Telehealth services, when appropriate

Youth Sports Rehabilitation & Performance

We believe children make the greatest progress when they're supported across the environments where they live, learn, play, and compete.

Two Opportunities. One Mission.

Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Therapy

You'll work with infants, children, and adolescents with a variety of developmental diagnoses, including:

Developmental delay

Cerebral palsy

Down syndrome

Genetic conditions

Torticollis and plagiocephaly

Neuromuscular disorders

Autism and sensory-motor differences

Orthopedic and mobility challenges

You'll collaborate closely with Occupational Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, physicians, educators, and families to help children improve mobility, strength, balance, coordination, endurance, and participation in everyday life.

Who Thrives at Chatterbox

Technical knowledge matters.

Character matters just as much.

We're looking for Physical Therapists who naturally demonstrate the values that shape our culture.

Appreciation

You celebrate progress, recognize the contributions of others, and believe every milestone deserves encouragement.

Service

You understand that serving children and families is both a privilege and a responsibility.

Professional Growth

You're curious, coachable, and committed to lifelong learning.

Integrity

You communicate honestly, take ownership of your work, and consistently do what's right.

Responsibility

You understand that building a great practice takes teamwork, accountability, and initiative.

Empathy

You meet children and families with compassion, patience, and genuine understanding.

If these values resonate with you, you'll probably feel right at home here.

The Ideal Team Member

We're not just looking for an excellent clinician.

We're looking for a builder.

Someone who enjoys creating new pr
