Job Details

Overview

 

Imagine starting your mornings knowing that what you do today will change someone's life tomorrow. Not in a abstract, distant way — but tangibly, profoundly, and immediately. As a Physical Therapist, you are the bridge between injury and independence, between limitation and possibility. You meet patients at their most vulnerable and walk alongside them toward their strongest.

 

We're searching for a dedicated and empathetic DPT / Physical Therapist to join a team that genuinely believes in the work they do — and in each other. You'll be practicing in Tampa, Florida, a sun-soaked, fast-growing coastal city where an outstanding quality of life and a thriving clinical community come together in ways that are hard to find anywhere else. If you're ready to plant roots somewhere that feeds both your ambition and your soul, Tampa is calling.

 

Description

  • Perform comprehensive patient evaluations in inpatient or outpatient settings and develop individualized, goal-oriented treatment plans
  • Deliver targeted physical therapy interventions addressing mobility, functional strength, balance, and coordination
  • Work alongside physicians, nursing staff, case managers, and fellow rehabilitation specialists to drive optimal patient outcomes
  • Provide patient and family education surrounding therapeutic goals, safe home exercise programming, and discharge readiness
  • Maintain thorough, timely documentation of evaluations, sessions, and patient progress in alignment with facility protocols and regulatory standards
  • Actively contribute to interdisciplinary care conferences and rounds to support seamless, coordinated care delivery

 

Education

  • Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) or equivalent degree from an accredited institution

 

Certifications

  • Active state licensure as a Physical Therapist in Florida
  • CPR certification preferred
  • Specialty certifications in areas such as geriatrics, neurology, or orthopedics are welcomed but not required

 

Skills

  • Prior clinical experience is strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to manage patients with complex medical conditions and multifaceted mobility challenges
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills with a natural talent for teamwork
  • Proficiency in electronic health record systems and digital clinical documentation platforms

 

Benefits

  • Highly competitive compensation and total rewards package
  • Full benefits suite including medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Continuing education allowances and licensure renewal support
  • Generous paid time off and flexible scheduling options
  • A collaborative, supportive clinical culture with clear pathways for professional advancement

 

What You'll Be Doing

 

No two days will look the same, and that's exactly what makes this role so rewarding. One morning you may be guiding a post-surgical patient through their first weight-bearing steps; the next, you're crafting a nuanced treatment strategy for someone navigating the long road of neurological recovery. The work is dynamic, deeply personal, and endlessly meaningful.

 

You'll bring both clinical precision and genuine compassion to every session — assessing where a patient is, envisioning where they can go, and building a thoughtful path to get them there. You'll play a central role in discharge planning, ensuring patients leave not just recovered, but confident and prepared for what comes next.

 

This is the kind of work that reminds you why you chose this profession. And here, you'll have the tools, the team, and the environment to do it at your very best.

 

Who We're Looking For

 

You understand that healing is never purely physical. You know that a patient's confidence, their fear, their determination — all of it matters as much as their range of motion or strength scores. You lead with curiosity, listen before you act, and celebrate progress no matter how small.

 

We're looking for a Physical Therapist who blends evidence-based clinical practice with authentic human connection. Whether you're a seasoned clinician looking for a fresh setting or an emerging professional ready to hit the ground running, if you're motivated by meaningful work and inspired by the people you serve, you'll fit right in here.

 

Build a Career Worth Moving For — In a City That Has It All

 

Tampa is one of those rare places where the lifestyle actually lives up to the hype. Miles of waterfront, a booming food and arts scene, professional sports, year-round sunshine, and one of the most rapidly expanding healthcare corridors in the entire Southeast. It's a city where ambitious clinicians come to grow — and stay, because they never want to leave.

 

Here, you won't just be advancing someone else's recovery. You'll be advancing your own career, building skills that matter, and doing it all in a place that energizes you on and off the clock. Come join a team that's as invested in your growth as you are in your patients' — and discover why so many clinicians are proud to call Tampa home.
