This Physical Therapist opportunity is based in Arlington, Virginia, a dynamic and highly desirable urban community just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. Arlington is known for its blend of city convenience and neighborhood charm, with walkable streets, excellent public transportation, and easy access to world-class museums, monuments, restaurants, and entertainment. Professionals enjoy living and working in an area that offers scenic parks and walking trails, vibrant retail and dining districts, and cultural landmarks such as Arlington National Cemetery and the surrounding historic sites. The community is safe, diverse, and well-established, making it an attractive destination for both short-term assignments and longer stays. The position is in a Skilled Nursing Facility that cares primarily for adult and geriatric patients requiring rehabilitation, post-acute, and long-term care services. The environment is team-focused and patient-centered, with an emphasis on helping residents maximize independence, improve functional mobility, and enhance overall quality of life. Physical Therapists work alongside occupational therapists, speech therapists, nursing staff, and medical providers in a collaborative setting that supports evidence-based practice and consistent communication about patient progress. In this role, the Physical Therapist will perform comprehensive evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, and provide ongoing therapeutic interventions for residents who may be recovering from orthopedic procedures, neurological events, or complex medical conditions. Typical responsibilities include gait and balance training, strength and endurance programs, transfer and mobility training, fall prevention strategies, and patient and caregiver education. Accurate and timely documentation within the facility’s electronic medical record system is an integral part of the daily workflow, including treatment notes, progress reports, and discharge summaries that align with regulatory and payer requirements. The caseload will primarily consist of older adults in a SNF setting, with patient volumes based on census and acuity. Therapists can expect a structured day shift schedule of five eight-hour days per week, totaling approximately 40 hours, which allows for a predictable routine and the opportunity to enjoy Arlington’s amenities outside of work. While exact patient ratios and bed counts may vary with census and operational needs, the therapy department is designed to maintain safe and manageable workloads and to foster supportive collaboration between team members. A typical day may include morning evaluations for new admissions, followed by scheduled one-on-one therapy sessions, participation in interdisciplinary team meetings, and coordination with nursing regarding mobility and safety plans. The therapist will contribute to care planning and may participate in family meetings or education sessions to ensure continuity of care and realistic, patient-centered goals. The facility values therapists who are organized, flexible, and committed to high-quality outcomes for their residents. Travelers and contract clinicians often find Arlington appealing because of its easy access to major airports, extensive public transit options, and a wide range of housing choices in nearby neighborhoods. After work, clinicians can explore local eateries, coffee shops, and boutiques, visit nearby cultural and historical sites, or take advantage of outdoor spaces and fitness opportunities. Being so close to Washington, D.C. also offers unique professional and personal enrichment, from conferences and educational events to sightseeing and volunteer opportunities. Start date for this assignment is ASAP, with an expected length of 13 weeks and a weekly billing cycle. Day shift hours, a full-time schedule, and a supportive, multidisciplinary environment make this an excellent opportunity for a Physical Therapist seeking to build experience in skilled nursing care while enjoying all that Arlington and the greater D.C. region have to offer.
