Physical Therapist - Acute / IPR / Outpatient

Nealy Pierce, LLC

Float Physical Therapist | Acute + IPR + Outpatient | Chattanooga TN | PSLF + Sign-On

Nealy Pierce is partnering with a nonprofit hospital system in the Chattanooga, TN area to hire a full-time Float Physical Therapist (PT). This is a permanent, W-2 hospital-based role rotating across acute care, inpatient rehab (IPR), and outpatient settings. Ideal for PTs who want clinical variety, exposure to multiple hospital environments, and the chance to build a versatile rehab skillset early in their career. New graduate PTs and experienced PTs are both welcomed.

Why This Float PT Role Stands Out:

  • Rotate across three distinct settings: acute care, inpatient rehab (IPR), and outpatient
  • Hospital is certified in Neuro, Cardiac, and Orthopedics — heavy neuro and cardiac caseload across settings
  • Treat patients across all age ranges and diagnosis types in a single role
  • 1-on-1 treatment model, focused on clinical quality over productivity
  • Multidisciplinary team of over 60 therapists (PTs, OTs, SLPs) to collaborate with
  • PSLF eligible (Public Service Loan Forgiveness) through nonprofit hospital employer
  • Flexible scheduling with built-in variety across settings
  • Annual CEU support provided

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Sign-on bonus available
  • Relocation assistance available
  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience
  • Full medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits
  • PSLF eligibility through nonprofit hospital employer

About the Float PT Position: This is a role for a Physical Therapist who truly cares about patient care. We're not looking for someone searching for their next "job," but rather someone who wants to invest in their career to help patients understand their bodies through injury or condition. The float model is ideal for PTs who want to build real breadth across acute, IPR, and outpatient without committing to a single setting early on.

Qualifications & Requirements:

  • DPT or MPT from an accredited program
  • Active or pending Tennessee PT license
  • New graduate physical therapists and experienced PTs welcome
  • Detail-oriented with the ability to see the big picture
  • Excellent communication across all levels of staff, patients, and families
  • Collaborative, team-building personality
  • Servant-leader mindset
  • H-1B visa sponsorship not available for this role

About Nealy Pierce: Nealy Pierce specializes in permanent PT, OT, and SLP placements with hospital systems nationwide. We take the time to understand your situation and what matters most before recommending any opportunity.
