Imagine harnessing the power of movement to help someone take their first step after surgery, reclaim their independence after a stroke, or find their voice after a debilitating illness. As a Rehabilitation Therapist, your expertise transcends traditional healing; you will restore dignity, momentum, and hope during some of life's most vulnerable moments. And you'll do it amidst the vibrant backdrop of a city that pulse with energy, creativity and culture.

In your role, you will evaluate patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings, crafting personalized treatment plans that resonate with each individual's journey to recovery. Your influence will shine through as you administer targeted physical therapy interventions focused on enhancing mobility, building strength, improving balance, and maximizing overall function. Collaborating seamlessly with nurses, physicians, case managers, and various rehabilitation professionals, you will optimize patient outcomes by creating a cohesive care experience. Education is at the heart of your practice, and you will guide patients and their families through therapeutic goals, navigating discharge planning and providing essential home exercise guidance. Every evaluation, treatment, and progress note you complete adheres to the highest facility and regulatory standards, showcasing your professionalism and dedication. Your participation in care team rounds and interdisciplinary conferences will further ensure that each patient receives the coordinated care they deserve. To qualify, you'll need a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or an equivalent degree from an accredited program, along with state licensure as a Physical Therapist. While previous experience is strongly preferred, we value emotional intelligence, strong communication, and teamwork skills above all. Familiarity with digital charting and clinical documentation systems will enhance your effectiveness in this role.

This is hands-on work where scientific knowledge meets heartfelt compassion - an amalgamation that drives your purpose as a Rehabilitation Therapist. Assessing needs, implementing tailored treatment strategies, and adjusting care plans as patients progress will become your daily rhythm. As part of a collaborative care team, you will play an essential role in coordinating discharge plans and facilitating safe transitions back home. We believe that you are more than your resume; you possess an understanding that movement itself is a form of medicine, that kindness wields incredible power, and that progress may manifest in countless ways - from standing again to walking independently. We are searching for a Rehabilitation Therapist whose clinical prowess is matched only by their emotional acuity, and who thrives in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.
