Patient Intake Specialist (Licensed DPT Required) For Cash Sports Clinic - PART TIME
Why This Role Exists
Before a patient ever walks through our door or starts their recovery, they need to believe it’s possible and feel safe taking that first step. That’s where you come in.
As our Patient Intake Specialist (Doctor of Physical Therapy), you’re not just scheduling appointments. You’re the first connection. The first impression. The first voice of hope.
You’ll guide people from hesitation to commitment. Often when they’re in pain, overwhelmed by options, or unsure what to do next. The way you speak with them, educate them, and encourage them can be the reason they choose to take action and change their health trajectory.
If you’re a licensed DPT who became a physical therapist to make a difference, this role lets you do that at scale.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be responsible for helping people follow through on their intent to get better whether they came through an ad, referral, or past experience with us.
- Guide new patients from first contact to scheduled and arrived evaluation
- Connect with: Inbound leads (Facebook/Instagram ads, Google Ads, website, social media DMs, word-of-moth and partner referrals)
- Follow-ups and callbacks and occasional outbound DMs/texts
- Reconnect with patients who canceled, no-showed, or fell off their plan
- Confirm, remind, and reschedule appointments with a focus on same-week evaluations
- Use phone, text, and email to stay in touch - logging every interaction in our CRM/EMR
- Follow scripts (built by PTs), while personalizing them to the person in front of you
What Success Looks Like
This is a performance role, but it’s patient-centered performance. You’re measured by the impact you help us create.
- 18–22 attended evaluations per week from your bookings
- ≥90% show rate on your booked evals
- Every lead in CRM/EMR has a next step—no one gets forgotten
- More people saying yes → more lives changed → stronger clinic outcomes
Comission pay is based on attended evaluations, not bookings, because we believe showing up is the first win.
Compensation
- Base pay: $20/hour (W2, hourly)
- $50 per attended eval
- $75 per show beyond 18 in a week
- On-target earnings (full time): $80k–$95k/year at 20 shows/week

This role has potential to turn into a full-time (salaried) position.

- Purpose-driven: You chose this profession to help people
- Energized by meaningful conversations: You know how to lead with empathy and guide with clarity
- Comfortable with a high-volume communication role (60–100+ touches/day)
- Emotionally intelligent: You read people well and handle objections with compassion
- Charismatic and confident: You build trust quickly and hold space for people to take action
- Organized and detail-oriented: You never leave a patient hanging
- Open to performance pay: You like knowing your impact ties directly to your income
- Familiar with CRM/EMR systems, texting platforms, call tools, and digital workflows
- Bonus: You’ve worked in a clinic or scheduling/sales setting before
Schedule & Tools
- 15-20 hours/week
- Flexibility needed for early evening confirmations and occasional weekends
- We provide: onboarding, training, CRM/EMR access, scripts, and weekly feedback loops
Our Culture

Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in sports specialist jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in kinesiology, exercise science, sports management, or a related field
- Nationally recognized certification such as CSCS, CPT, or a sport-specific coaching credential
- Demonstrated experience designing and delivering athletic or fitness programs for target populations
- Proficiency with athlete monitoring software, performance tracking tools, or sports analytics platforms
- Strong communication and instructional skills for coaching individuals and groups across skill levels
- CPR and AED certification, and willingness to maintain current first-aid credentials
Tips for Your Sports Specialist Job Search
Tailor your resume to each sports niche
Hiring managers for performance coaching roles want different keywords than those hiring for sports programming or media. Swap in terms like athlete assessment, program design, or broadcast coordination depending on the role, so your resume clears the ATS and reads as a direct match.
List certifications before your degree
For sports specialist roles, credentials like CSCS, CPT, or sport-specific coaching licenses often carry more weight than your academic background. Put them in a prominent certifications section at the top of your resume rather than burying them under education.
Show measurable outcomes in your work history
Vague descriptions like assisted athletes or supported programs get skipped. Quantify your impact wherever you can, such as the number of athletes you trained, programs you ran, or events you coordinated, so hiring managers can picture what you actually delivered.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists sports specialist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a philosophy statement for interviews
Sports specialist interviewers frequently ask how you approach athlete development or program design. Have a two-to-three sentence philosophy ready that reflects the organization's population, whether that is youth athletes, collegiate players, or recreational adults, so your answer sounds considered rather than generic.
Follow up after a practical or skills assessment
Many sports specialist roles include a practical component, such as running a sample training session or designing a program on the spot. Send a brief follow-up note referencing something specific from that session to remind the panel why your approach fits what they are building.
Sports Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most sports specialists?
The most active employers for sports specialists right now are UFC GYM, Girl Scouts of the USA, and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and the most openings are in New York, Arizona, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to be strongest with professional franchises, collegiate athletic departments, and national fitness and wellness chains.
How many sports specialist jobs are remote?
About 57% of sports specialist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though fully remote positions are most common in roles centered on sports analytics, content development, and program design rather than hands-on coaching or athlete training, which typically require on-site presence.
How do you become a sports specialist?
Start by earning a degree in kinesiology, exercise science, or sports management, then pursue a nationally recognized certification aligned with your target area, such as strength and conditioning or personal training. Build hands-on experience through internships, volunteer coaching, or assistant roles at gyms, schools, or sports organizations. Specialize progressively by working with a specific population or sport, and document measurable outcomes to strengthen your application record.
How do you get hired as a sports specialist with little experience?
Focus on roles labeled coordinator, assistant, or associate, which are designed as entry points into sports specialist work. Volunteer with community leagues, campus recreation programs, or nonprofit sports organizations to build practical hours. Earn a foundational certification before applying, since credentials often compensate for limited paid experience. Highlight any practicum, capstone project, or supervised clinical hours from your degree program, and be specific about the populations and settings you worked with.
What does the sports specialist interview process look like?
Most employers start with a phone or video screen to confirm your credentials and availability, followed by a panel interview with athletic directors, program coordinators, or HR representatives. Many roles include a practical component where you demonstrate a training session, deliver a program overview, or complete a scenario-based assessment. Final-round candidates often meet department leadership and may be asked to present a short-term plan for the role they would step into.
Where can I find and apply to sports specialist jobs?
You can find and apply to sports specialist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the available roles to find positions that match your specialization, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
