Fusion Therapy Center is seeking a Physical Therapist who genuinely enjoys working independently in the community and wants travel-based therapy to be the primary focus of their position.

This role provides physical therapy at partner daycares, preschools, schools, and other community locations throughout Northwest Arkansas through Fusion’s mobile therapy program.

This is a travel-focused position. While in-clinic patients may occasionally be used to help bridge openings, build the clinician’s caseload, or maintain productive hours, the long-term intent of this role is to develop and maintain a primarily travel-based caseload.

As part of your total rewards, we are pleased to offer a competitive sign-on bonus. We are looking for a clinician who enjoys variety, autonomy, relationship-building with community partners, and providing high-quality care outside of a traditional clinic setting.

Our Mission: To empower families and enhance the lives of children through holistic, evidence-based therapy services.

Why join Fusion?

At Fusion Therapy Center, we believe in rewarding your time, dedication, and clinical excellence. Our compensation model values your contributions while providing flexibility, professional growth, and administrative support.

This position may be especially appealing to a clinician who enjoys:

• Getting out of the clinic and working within the community
• Building relationships with schools, daycares, families, and community partners
• Having independence throughout the workday
• Working with children in their natural environments
• Managing a mobile caseload with support from a dedicated scheduling and leadership team
• Variety in their daily routine rather than remaining in one clinical setting

You will be hired as a W-2 employee, with payroll taxes handled by Fusion and access to applicable employee benefits.

Clinicians are compensated at a competitive hourly rate for billable services, providing transparency and alignment between clinical productivity and compensation.

Your primary caseload will consist of patients seen at assigned daycares, preschools, schools, and community partner locations.

Fusion coordinates travel routes and patient schedules with the goal of minimizing unnecessary drive time and creating efficient geographic groupings.

Your schedule may include:

• Traveling between assigned community locations
• Treating multiple patients at the same school or daycare when possible
• Completing documentation between sessions or during designated administrative time
• Communicating with families, caregivers, teachers, and the Fusion clinical team
• Participating in team meetings and clinical collaboration
• Providing occasional in-clinic treatment when needed to bridge openings or support caseload development

Candidates should apply with the expectation that travel therapy will be the primary responsibility of this position.

• Competitive pay based on billable hours
• Mileage reimbursement for eligible travel
• Travel stipend for travel between assigned sites
• Flexible work schedule
• Continuing education reimbursement based on hours worked
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for eligible full-time staff
• PTO for eligible full-time staff
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Mentorship and onboarding support
• Supportive scheduling and administrative teams

· Highly Competitive Hourly Pay: $52–$57 per billable hour

· Evaluation & Re-Evaluation Bonus: Additional $20/hour

· Administrative Pay: Paid administrative time during qualifying patient cancellations

Responsibilities:

• Evaluate pediatric patients to determine eligibility for physical therapy services

• Implement interventions designed to maximize gross motor skills, functional mobility, and independence
• Deliver therapy in community settings including daycares, preschools, and schools
• Adapt treatment to the child’s natural environment
• Educate and collaborate with families, caregivers, teachers, and community partners
• Complete documentation accurately and within required timelines
• Maintain communication with Fusion's scheduling, clinical, and administrative teams
• Manage travel between assigned locations responsibly and efficiently
• Maintain a reliable schedule and demonstrate ownership of assigned patients and community relationships

Requirements:

• Graduate degree or higher in Physical Therapy

• Strong clinical reasoning and communication skills
• Ability to work independently while remaining connected to a collaborative clinical team
• Strong organization and time-management skills

• Dependable transportation
• Knowledge of physical therapy evaluation and treatment
• Familiarity with Medicaid and private insurance documentation requirements preferred

Who Will Thrive in This Position?

This position is best suited for a PT who actively wants a mobile caseload, rather than someone who is simply willing to travel occasionally.

You may be a great fit if you enjoy being out in the community, appreciate independence, can organize your day across multiple locations, and like developing relationships with the schools and childcare centers where your patients spend their time.

Fusion provides the clinical, administrative, and scheduling support behind you while giving you the autonomy to make a meaningful impact where children live, learn, and play.
