Job Details

Overview

 

Imagine waking up each morning knowing that the work you do today will help someone stand taller, move freer, and live fuller. That the hands-on care you deliver — your clinical instincts, your patience, your expertise — is the bridge between someone's hardest moment and their most triumphant comeback. That's the kind of career a Physical Therapist builds, and we're inviting you to build yours right here.

 

We're searching for a dedicated and driven DPT / Physical Therapist to join our growing rehabilitation team in Salt Lake City, Utah — a city that pulses with energy, creativity, and a deep-rooted sense of community. Whether you're planting new roots or chasing your next great chapter, Salt Lake City has a way of making people feel like they belong. And so does our team.

 

Description

  • Conduct comprehensive patient evaluations in inpatient and/or outpatient settings and develop individualized, goal-driven treatment plans
  • Deliver evidence-based physical therapy interventions targeting mobility restoration, muscular strength, balance, and functional independence
  • Work alongside nurses, attending physicians, case managers, and fellow rehabilitation specialists to deliver coordinated, patient-centered care
  • Guide patients and their support systems through therapeutic goals, home program development, and discharge planning
  • Maintain thorough, timely documentation of evaluations, sessions, and patient progress in compliance with facility protocols and regulatory standards
  • Engage actively in interdisciplinary rounds and care conferences to ensure continuity and quality across the care continuum

 

Education

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

 

Certifications

  • Active Physical Therapist licensure in the state of Utah (or eligibility to obtain)
  • CPR certification preferred
  • Advanced specialty certifications such as neurological or geriatric rehab are welcomed, though not required

 

Skills

  • Prior clinical experience is strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to manage patients presenting with complex medical and functional challenges
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills with a collaborative spirit
  • Proficiency with electronic health records and digital clinical documentation platforms

 

Benefits

  • Highly competitive compensation reflective of your skills and experience
  • 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 culture that invests in your growth and celebrates your milestones

 

What You'll Be Doing

 

No two days look the same, and that's exactly what keeps this work so alive. On any given shift, you might be steadying a patient's first independent steps after a total knee replacement, crafting a progressive home exercise plan for a stroke survivor, or fine-tuning a balance protocol for someone navigating neurological recovery. Your clinical lens is sharp — and your human touch is what makes all the difference.

 

You'll assess, plan, treat, and adapt. You'll be the steady presence patients lean on and the voice that translates clinical complexity into something families can understand and trust. You'll also play a key role in shaping safe, well-orchestrated transitions from care to home — because recovery doesn't stop at discharge, and you know that better than anyone.

 

This is precision work powered by empathy. And the reward? Watching someone do something they weren't sure they'd ever do again.

 

Who We're Looking For

 

You see movement as medicine. You know that the way you show up in a treatment room — calm, confident, genuinely invested — can shift the entire trajectory of someone's recovery. You're not just technically skilled; you're emotionally attuned, and you bring both to work every single day.

 

We're looking for a Physical Therapist who thrives in collaborative environments, embraces the challenge of complex cases, and believes that every milestone — no matter how small — deserves to be celebrated. Whether you're just stepping into your career or arriving with years of hard-won clinical wisdom, if you lead with curiosity, compassion, and commitment, you'll fit right in.
