PT Jobs in North Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a pt in North Carolina?

To become a physical therapist in North Carolina, you must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from a CAPTE-accredited program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination, and obtain licensure through the North Carolina Board of Physical Therapy Examiners. The Board requires a completed application, verified transcripts, and proof of passing the NPTE before you may practice in the state. New graduates typically apply for licensure immediately after passing their final clinical rotations.

How much do PTs make in North Carolina?

PTs in North Carolina earn a median of about $34,760 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $28,920 for the lowest 10% to over $72,890 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire pts in North Carolina?

Employers hiring pts in North Carolina right now include Food Lion, Advocate Aurora Health, and Atrium Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. North Carolina's large integrated health systems, outpatient rehabilitation networks, and home health agencies consistently post openings across the state, making it one of the more active PT hiring markets in the Southeast.

Which North Carolina cities have the most pt jobs?

Charlotte, Concord, and Raleigh have the most pt openings in North Carolina right now. Charlotte and Raleigh lead because of their large hospital systems, growing suburban populations, and concentration of outpatient orthopedic and sports rehab clinics, while Greensboro benefits from its anchor medical centers and proximity to the Triad's aging population driving home health and skilled nursing demand.

Are there remote pt jobs in North Carolina?

Yes, but they're rare. About 75% of pt openings tied to North Carolina are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of physical therapy practice. The portions of the role most suited to remote work are telehealth follow-up appointments, home exercise program consultations, and documentation or case management tasks rather than direct in-clinic treatment.

How can I get hired as a pt in North Carolina with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new graduate residency programs, which large North Carolina employers including Novant Health, UNC Health, and Duke Health operate specifically for candidates without post-licensure experience. Outpatient orthopedic and sports rehab clinics across the Charlotte and Raleigh markets also hire new graduates directly. Completing a clinical rotation in North Carolina before graduation strengthens your application, and obtaining your NC Board license promptly after passing the NPTE puts you ahead of candidates still waiting on credentials.

Where can I find and apply to pt jobs in North Carolina?

You can find and apply to pt jobs in North Carolina on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
