Job Description

An Opportunity That Doesn't Come Along Often
Join a close-knit team providing early intervention to infants and toddlers and their families.
Programs for Infants and Children (PIC) in Anchorage is looking for a Physical Therapist to join our team. This is a professional early intervention role working with infants and toddlers with developmental delays and disabilities, primarily in their homes and other natural settings. You’ll use your physical therapy expertise to help children build movement skills and support families in making development part of everyday life.
You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team that includes early special educators, speech-language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and social workers. At PIC, professionals mentor and coach one another, build their skills through paid professional development, and have the flexibility and generous paid leave to support a sustainable career.

Using a family-centered coaching model, you’ll work with families to build strategies into everyday routines and activities—bringing early intervention directly into the places where children live, learn, and grow.
