Overview
Imagine starting your morning knowing that by the end of the day, someone will stand a little taller, move a little easier, or breathe a little deeper — because of you. That's not a dream scenario. That's Tuesday for a Physical Therapist who shows up ready to change lives. The work is demanding, yes, but it is also among the most fulfilling a clinician can pursue.
We are actively seeking a driven and empathetic DPT / Physical Therapist to join our growing team in Omaha, Nebraska — a city that surprises and delights at every turn, and a workplace where your clinical passion will be met with real support, real resources, and real opportunity. If healing people is your purpose, Omaha is where that purpose finds its home.
Description
- Conduct thorough patient evaluations in inpatient or outpatient environments and develop individualized, goal-oriented treatment plans
- Deliver physical therapy interventions targeting strength, mobility, balance, coordination, and functional independence

- Guide patients and their families through therapeutic goals, home exercise programming, and safe discharge planning
- Maintain accurate, timely documentation of evaluations, progress notes, and treatment records in compliance with facility and regulatory standards
- Actively contribute to interdisciplinary care conferences and team rounds to ensure a cohesive, patient-centered approach
Education
- Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or equivalent accredited degree required

- Active state licensure as a Physical Therapist in Nebraska or eligibility to obtain
- CPR certification preferred
- Advanced or specialty certifications in areas such as geriatrics, neurology, or orthopedics are welcomed but not required

- Exceptional interpersonal communication and a genuine collaborative spirit
- Proficiency with electronic health records and digital clinical documentation platforms
Benefits
- Highly competitive compensation aligned with your experience and expertise
- Full benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage

- Generous paid time off with flexible scheduling options
- A culture built on mentorship, mutual respect, and long-term professional growth
What You'll Be Doing
No two days unfold the same way, and that is part of what makes this role so deeply engaging. You might begin your shift working with a post-surgical patient relearning how to bear weight, then transition to coaching a stroke survivor through the painstaking and triumphant work of reclaiming their independence. Every patient brings a new challenge — and a new opportunity to apply everything you know with everything you have.
This is high-touch, evidence-driven work that calls on both your technical expertise and your human instincts. You will assess, plan, implement, and continuously refine care strategies that respond to how each patient evolves day by day. You will also play a central role in coordinating transitions of care, ensuring that every patient leaves your care better equipped to thrive.
The pace is real. The reward is even more so. Because the work you do here is not abstract — it shows up in a patient's smile when they walk down the hallway unassisted for the first time.
Who We're Looking For
You understand, on a fundamental level, that movement is not just physical — it is emotional, psychological, and deeply personal. You bring clinical sharpness to every evaluation and genuine warmth to every interaction. You thrive in environments where collaboration is the norm and where the best idea wins, regardless of who had it.
We are looking for a Physical Therapist who leads with curiosity, treats with intention, and connects with patients in a way that makes them feel seen and supported. Whether you are stepping into your first role post-graduation or arriving with a decade of specialized experience, what matters most is that you care — deeply, consistently, and without reservation.
Build a Career With Meaning in the Heart of Omaha
Omaha is having a moment — and once you arrive, you will understand why people who come here tend to stay. This is a city with a thriving arts scene, an extraordinary culinary landscape anchored by the famous Old Market district, world-class attractions like the Henry Doorly Zoo, and neighborhoods that feel like genuine communities rather than zip codes. It offers the energy of a major metro without the exhaustion of one, and a cost of living that actually lets you enjoy what you earn.
Here, you will find room to grow — clinically, professionally, and personally. Our team is invested in your development and committed to creating an environment where excellence is recognized and ambition is encouraged. As a DPT / Physical Therapist in Omaha, you will not just be building a career. You will be building a life worth coming home to.
Come move people forward — and let this opportunity move you.
