About MobilityVet:
MobilityVet is a single doctor mobile rehabilitation practice seeking to grow with a certified rehabilitation technician to provide therapeutic exercise appointments in client homes on a mobile basis. Rehabilitation equipment available includes a Class IV laser, focused extracorporeal shockwave, therapeutic ultrasound, TENS/NMES, and extensive therapeutic exercise equipment. Dr. Porterfield is rehabilitation, acupuncture and chiropractic certified as well as massage trained. After an initial training/supervisory period, there is the potential to grow toward independent visits meeting both the doctor and patient comfort level, but some overlap will occur with patients who require greater assistance (on either the doctor or technician schedule) for behavioral or diagnostic reasons, as well as in home euthanasia appointments (infrequent and generally reserved for current clients due to availability). This practice is open Monday through Friday with doctor appointments on Tuesday through Friday currently. Weekends are not required but certainly optional if preferred by the prospective candidate after the training period.
Benefits:
- Competitive pay
- Opportunities for continued learning and growth within a supportive environment
- Mileage reimbursement
- Flexible scheduling, including some non-clinical time for records and other administrative duties
- PTO/sick time
- Scrubs
- Breeze-Thru Car-wash Membership
- Option for part-time employees to eventually grow/opt-in to a full-time position with greater benefits if desired
- New practice with opportunity to influence how we grow and what benefits to prioritize – Tell me what you would like to see here!
