What You'll Be Doing

No two days look the same, and that's exactly what makes this work so compelling. One morning you might be guiding a post-surgical patient through their first weight-bearing steps; the next, you're crafting a nuanced plan for someone navigating the long road back from a neurological event. Your clinical instincts will be challenged, your empathy will be exercised, and your impact will be undeniable.

This is deeply hands-on, relationship-centered care. You'll evaluate, treat, reassess, and refine — always with the patient's functional goals at the center of every decision. You'll also play a meaningful role in discharge planning, ensuring that every transition home is as safe and supported as possible.

The work is demanding in the best possible way. It asks everything of you, and it gives back even more — in the form of real, visible, lasting change in the lives of real people.

Who We're Looking For

You understand that recovery isn't linear. That some days, a small breakthrough — a steadier gait, a stronger grip, a confident first step — means everything to a patient who has been fighting to get there. You show up for those moments with skill and with heart.

We're looking for a Physical Therapist who brings clinical rigor and emotional depth in equal measure. Someone who thrives in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment and who sees every patient interaction as an opportunity to make a genuine difference. Whether you're building on a strong foundation of experience or bringing fresh energy and evidence-based curiosity to the team, you'll find your place here.
