Advance Your Acute Care Career with a Leading Non-Profit Hospital
We’re working with a highly respected, not-for-profit health system to hire a full-time Physical Therapist for their Acute Care department. This is a great opportunity for PTs seeking clinical variety, mentorship, and a truly patient-centered environment. Whether you're an experienced acute care clinician or looking to transition into the setting, this hospital offers the structure and support to help you succeed.

  • Manage around 10 patients per day, allowing for individualized care and improved outcomes

Schedule Flexibility

  • Choose between 4x10s or 5x8s

  • Weekend coverage is minimal—typically just 1 in 8 weekends, with additional shifts available at PRN pay

Supportive Environment & Growth

  • Structured onboarding and mentorship for new grads or therapists transitioning from other settings

  • CEU assistance and opportunities for career development


Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive hourly rate based on experience

  • Student loan repayment program

  • Full medical, dental, vision, life, and retirement benefits

  • 20 days of PTO
