Job Details

Overview

 

Imagine starting your morning knowing that by the end of the day, someone will have taken a step they weren't sure they could take — because of you. That's the quiet, profound power of a career in physical therapy. As a DPT / Physical Therapist, you're not just treating conditions; you're rebuilding lives, restoring confidence, and giving people back the moments that matter most.

 

We're on the search for a skilled and deeply motivated Physical Therapist to join our growing team in Louisville, Kentucky — a city with a bold spirit, a warm community, and more to offer than most people expect. If you're ready to bring your clinical best to a role where compassion drives outcomes, this opportunity was made for you.

 

Description

  • Conduct thorough patient evaluations across inpatient or outpatient settings and develop personalized, goal-driven treatment plans
  • Deliver physical therapy interventions targeting mobility, strength, balance, coordination, and functional independence
  • Work closely with physicians, nurses, case managers, and fellow rehabilitation professionals to achieve the best possible patient outcomes
  • Guide patients and their families through therapeutic goals, home exercise programming, and discharge preparation
  • Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation in compliance with facility standards and regulatory requirements
  • Contribute actively to interdisciplinary care conferences and team rounds to support seamless, coordinated care

 

Education

  • Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or equivalent degree from an accredited institution

 

Certifications

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

 

Skills

  • Prior clinical experience is strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to manage patients with complex medical histories and mobility challenges
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills across multidisciplinary teams
  • Proficiency with electronic health records and clinical documentation platforms

 

Benefits

  • Highly competitive compensation with room to grow
  • Full benefits package covering medical, dental, and vision
  • Continuing education support and licensure fee reimbursement
  • Generous paid time off and scheduling flexibility
  • A collaborative team environment that champions clinical growth and long-term advancement

 

What You'll Be Doing

 

No two days look alike, and that's exactly the point. One morning you might be working with a patient rediscovering their footing after joint replacement surgery; the next, you're coaching someone through the emotional and physical demands of post-stroke recovery. The work is as varied as it is meaningful.

 

You'll dive deep into hands-on care — assessing each patient with fresh eyes, crafting targeted interventions, and evolving your approach as progress unfolds. Your role extends beyond the treatment room, too. You'll be a key voice in discharge planning conversations and care transitions, ensuring every patient leaves with confidence and a clear path forward.

 

This is the kind of work that asks a lot of you — and gives back even more. Every breakthrough, every milestone reached, every patient who walks out stronger than they walked in — that's your signature on their recovery.

 

Who We're Looking For

 

You see movement as medicine. You understand that real healing takes both clinical precision and genuine human warmth, and you bring both to every interaction. You're the kind of therapist who remembers that behind every chart is a person with goals, fears, and a life they're fighting to get back to.

 

We're looking for a Physical Therapist who thrives in collaborative settings, embraces evidence-based practice, and leads with empathy. Whether you're just beginning your career or arriving with years of diverse clinical experience, if you're driven by purpose and fueled by patient success, we want to hear from you.
