Imagine a career where each day brings the opportunity to help someone reclaim their life, whether it's taking their first step after surgery, regaining independence following a stroke, or finding their voice again post-illness. As a DPT / Doctor of Physical Therapy, your role extends beyond mere rehabilitation; you will restore dignity, momentum, and hope during some of life’s most delicate moments. Instead of being anchored by limitations, you will thrive in an environment that champions healing while offering a vibrant lifestyle.

We are searching for an empathetic and talented DPT to join our passionate team in the picturesque city of Des Moines, Iowa. Here, clinical excellence coexists with a warm, welcoming community that inspires growth and connection.

• Collaborating closely with nurses, physicians, case managers, and other rehabilitation professionals to deliver optimal patient outcomes.
• Providing essential education to patients and their families regarding therapeutic goals, discharge planning, and home exercise routines.
• Documenting evaluations, treatments, and progress in accordance with our facility protocols and regulatory standards.
• Engaging in interdisciplinary conferences and care team rounds to ensure seamless and coordinated care.

Education Requirements: A Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or an equivalent degree from an accredited program is required.

Certifications: Must hold state licensure as a Physical Therapist, with CPR certification as preferred. Specialized certifications, such as in neurology or geriatrics, are a plus but not mandatory.

Your Daily Impact:
Every moment spent with your patients will be crucial and filled with purpose. You will be a trustworthy guide, helping patients navigate the initial stages of recovery, whether it’s regaining balance after a surgical procedure or leading someone through the challenging journey of post-stroke rehabilitation.

This position involves hands-on work that demands both clinical knowledge and compassion. You will assess patient needs, implement tailored treatment strategies, and adapt your approach as your patients evolve. Being part of an interdisciplinary care team, your input will also play a pivotal role in discharge planning and safe transitions back home.
