Physical Therapist – Acute Care

Full-Time Mission-Driven Nonprofit Hospital Relocation & Loan Repayment Support

Step Into Acute Care with Real Mentorship

We’re partnered with a respected, not-for-profit health system to hire a full-time PT for their Acute Care department. You’ll get true clinical variety, a patient-first pace, and leadership that invests in your growth. New grads are encouraged to apply; structured onboarding and mentorship are built in.

Why This Role Stands Out

Broad Clinical Exposure

  • Treat across ICU, PICU, trauma, neuro, post-surgical, joint replacement, and more

  • Cross-training encouraged to build versatile hospital skills

Patient-First Culture

  • 30-minute treatments, no rigid quotas

  • ~11 patients/day so you can individualize care and outcomes

Schedule Flexibility

  • Options like 5x8s or 4x10s

  • Minimal weekend rotation; optional extra shifts at PRN pay

Support & Growth

  • Structured new-grad onboarding + dedicated mentorship

  • CEU assistance, education days, and clear internal growth pathways

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive pay based on experience

  • Student loan repayment program + relocation support

  • Medical, dental, vision, life, retirement

  • ~20 days PTO + CE reimbursement

Who We're Looking For

  • Licensed Physical Therapist (or pending licensure)

  • Team-first communicator with a passion for hospital-based care

  • Evidence-informed, patient-centered approach
