You’ll also get to flex your business skills by helping market the clinic, doing your own scheduling and working independently.

You’ll only treat residents Monday-Friday – no evenings or weekends! Plus, you’ll treat residents in their room or in an on-site clinic so there’s no need to travel to homes outside the building. If you have a passion for helping seniors live their best, active lives, we want to hear from you. At Aegis Therapies, we take a patient-centered approach that ensures you’ll have the opportunity to truly make a difference. Apply today.
