Entry Level Pediatric Physical Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level pediatric physical therapist job?
Entry level pediatric physical therapist employers look for a valid state PT license or active licensure application, completed clinical rotations in pediatric settings, and familiarity with developmental milestone assessment. Candidates who completed at least one pediatric-specific affiliation, can document hands-on caseload hours, and show comfort with family-centered care models stand out at this stage, even without years of post-graduation experience.
Which companies hire entry level pediatric physical therapists?
Companies hiring entry level pediatric physical therapists right now include Ivy Rehab Network, Ivyrehab Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy & Speech-Language Pathology, Pllc, and H2 Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including pediatric outpatient clinics, school districts, early intervention programs, and children's hospital systems that regularly onboard new graduates.
Are there remote entry level pediatric physical therapist jobs?
Yes, though most roles are hands-on and clinic-based. About 6% of entry level pediatric physical therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and these tend to be telehealth evaluation roles, early intervention consultations, or hybrid administrative positions rather than full in-clinic caseload roles.
Are these new grad pediatric physical therapist jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior pediatric physical therapist roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts clinical affiliations or internship hours toward the requirement, or lists a portfolio of documented patient outcomes as an acceptable substitute for post-licensure tenure.
Which industries hire the most entry level pediatric physical therapists?
Entry Level pediatric physical therapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they rely on consistent patient volume, operate structured new-graduate mentorship programs, and face ongoing demand for licensed clinicians trained specifically in pediatric populations.
