Job Details

Overview

 

Imagine starting your morning knowing that by the end of the day, someone will stand taller, move more freely, or return home to the people they love — because of you. That's not a fantasy. That's the reality of life as a Physical Therapist, where the work you do isn't just clinically meaningful — it's profoundly human.

 

We're searching for a driven, empathetic, and highly skilled DPT to join our growing team in Austin, Texas — a city buzzing with creative energy, a booming healthcare landscape, and a culture that celebrates both ambition and authenticity. If you've been looking for a place where your clinical gifts can truly flourish, Austin is calling.

 

Description

  • Conduct comprehensive patient evaluations across inpatient or outpatient settings and develop personalized, goal-oriented treatment plans
  • Deliver targeted physical therapy interventions addressing mobility deficits, functional limitations, strength, and postural balance
  • Partner with an interdisciplinary team — including physicians, case managers, nurses, and rehab specialists — to drive optimal patient outcomes
  • Guide patients and their families through therapeutic milestones, home exercise programs, and discharge preparation
  • Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation in alignment with facility protocols and regulatory standards
  • Contribute actively to care conferences and team rounds to ensure seamless, coordinated patient care

 

Education

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

 

Certifications

  • Active state licensure as a Physical Therapist in Texas
  • CPR certification preferred
  • Additional specialty certifications — such as neurological or geriatric rehab — are welcomed but not required

 

Skills

  • Prior clinical experience is strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to manage patients with complex, multi-system medical and mobility presentations
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a collaborative mindset
  • Proficiency with electronic health records and digital documentation platforms

 

Benefits

  • Highly competitive compensation package
  • Full benefits suite including medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Continuing education support and licensure fee reimbursement
  • Generous paid time off with flexible scheduling options
  • A people-first team culture with clear pathways for clinical growth and advancement

 

What You'll Be Doing

 

No two days look the same, and that's exactly what makes this role so rewarding. You'll be on the front lines of recovery — there for the first tentative steps after a joint replacement, the hard-won breakthroughs of neurological rehab, and every small victory in between. This is work that demands your full self: your knowledge, your intuition, and your heart.

 

You'll assess patients with precision, craft individualized care plans, and evolve your approach as progress unfolds. Collaboration is at the core of everything — you'll contribute meaningfully to discharge planning, coordinate with care teams across disciplines, and help patients transition safely and confidently back to their daily lives.

 

The role is both technically demanding and deeply fulfilling, offering the kind of immediate, visible impact that reminds you every day why you chose this profession.

 

Who We're Looking For

 

You know that movement is medicine. You believe that meeting a patient where they are — physically and emotionally — is just as important as any clinical protocol. You're the kind of therapist who remembers names, notices small changes, and celebrates every milestone along the way.

 

We're looking for a Physical Therapist who brings a combination of clinical rigor and genuine warmth — someone who thrives in dynamic, team-driven environments and approaches every patient encounter with curiosity and compassion. Whether you're just beginning your career or bring a wealth of experience, if evidence-based practice and meaningful human connection are your driving forces, we want to hear from you.
