Inpatient Rehab Physical Therapist Neuro Caseload Atlanta GA PSLF Eligible

Nealy Pierce is working with a nonprofit hospital system in the Atlanta, GA area to hire a full-time Physical Therapist (PT) for their Inpatient Rehab (IPR) program. This is a permanent, W-2 role centered on complex neurological rehabilitation in a modern, mentorship-driven hospital environment. New graduate PTs with IPR rotation experience are encouraged to apply alongside experienced IPR clinicians.

What Makes This IPR Role Different:

• Predominantly neurological caseload — stroke, TBI, spinal cord injury (SCI), amputee care, and multi-trauma rehabilitation
• PSLF eligible (Public Service Loan Forgiveness) through nonprofit hospital employer
• Manageable patient volume: 4 to 6 patients daily with 60 to 90 minute sessions
• Approximately 6 contact hours per 8-hour shift — among the lowest productivity expectations in inpatient rehab
• Advanced rehab technology on-site: Litegate, Bioness, and Core Balance (digital)
• Private patient rooms in a recently updated clinical setting
• Interdisciplinary team of experienced PTs, OTs, and SLPs
• Built-in mentorship culture led by senior IPR clinicians

Schedule:

• Flexible morning start times (8 AM – 9 AM)
• Full-time, permanent hospital position

Compensation & Benefits:

• Substantial sign-on bonus
• Option to redirect sign-on directly to your loan provider
• Relocation assistance available (receipt-based)
• PSLF eligibility through nonprofit hospital employer
• Annual merit increases (up to 3%) plus Merit Plus performance bonus tied to hospital benchmarks
• Wellness program bonus up to $500/year
• Weekend differential available
• Case-by-case CEU support for marketable certifications
• 23 days PTO annually
• Full medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
• Employer-contributed retirement plan

Who We're Looking For:

• DPT or MPT from an accredited physical therapy program
• Active or pending applicable state PT license
• Experienced acute care PTs with a relevant inpatient rotation will also be considered
• Clinical precision balanced with big-picture thinking
• Strong communicator across clinical staff, patients, and family members
• Collaborative and team-oriented with a servant-leader mindset
