Winston-Salem, NC $90,500 - $115,500 a year

Imagine a place where your daily efforts empower others to reclaim their lives — a step towards independence after surgery or a meaningful recovery journey post-stroke. As a Licensed Physical Therapist, you're not just facilitating healing; you're a beacon of hope during one of life's most challenging times, all while nestled in a lively community that offers both professional fulfillment and a lifestyle you'll love. We are inviting a compassionate and skilled Licensed Physical Therapist to join our dynamic team in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This charming city is not only rich in history and culture, but it also boasts a supportive environment where clinical excellence flourishes in a community that embraces and motivates. If you're eager to make a profound impact and inspire change during the recovery process, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. In this role, you will:

• Assess patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings, crafting personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's needs.
• Provide physical therapy interventions that enhance mobility, strength, balance, and overall function, fostering recovery and well-being.
• Collaborate with a diverse team of nurses, physicians, case managers, and rehabilitation professionals to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
• Educate both patients and their families on therapeutic objectives, discharge procedures, and home exercise regimens that support ongoing recovery.
• Ensure that patient evaluations, therapies, and progress notes are meticulously documented in line with facility protocols and regulatory standards.
• Engage in care team meetings and interdisciplinary discussions to ensure a cohesive care approach for patients.

To qualify for this fulfilling position, you should possess:

• A Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or an equivalent degree from an accredited educational institution.
• A current state license to practice physical therapy in North Carolina.
• CPR certification preferred, along with any specialized certifications (e.g., neurological, geriatric) that may enhance your clinical practice, though they are not obligatory.

We require candidates to demonstrate:

• Strong previous clinical experience, ideally with a focus on complex medical and mobility challenges.
• Excellent communication skills and the capacity to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
• Comfort with digital charting and electronic health record systems to streamline patient documentation and care.

What can you expect in terms of benefits and support?

• A competitive compensation structure that recognizes your expertise.
• A comprehensive benefits package, including robust health, dental, and vision plans that truly care for your well-being.
• Opportunities for continuing education and reimbursement for licensure maintenance to support your professional growth.
• Generous paid time off along with flexible scheduling options to ensure a healthy work-life balance.
• A team-oriented culture that encourages collaboration and offers pathways for clinical advancement.

Every day brings unique challenges and opportunities. You'll be at the forefront of aiding patients during their recovery — whether it's helping someone regain their footing after surgery or guiding a stroke survivor through their journey back to mobility. This role requires hands-on engagement, clinical acumen, and heartfelt dedication, and the rewards are immense.
