Physical Therapist - Acute Care & Outpatient

Imagine a role where your daily actions enable someone to take their first steps post-surgery, regain autonomy following a stroke, or recover their ability to communicate after illness. As a Physical Therapist, you'll play a pivotal role in healing and restoring dignity during some of life's most critical moments. Join us in Long Beach, California, a city that marries professional satisfaction with a coastal lifestyle that invigorates every day. We're on the lookout for a dedicated and empathetic Physical Therapist to become a part of our close-knit team in Long Beach — a vibrant coastal gem where the sun, sea, and community spirit collide. Here, you will walk alongside patients during their journeys to recovery, making meaningful impacts in both their lives and your own. If you are ready to create a difference from the ground up, this is your opportunity. In your role, you will:

• Assess patients in both inpatient and outpatient environments, devising customized treatment plans that speak to individual needs.
• Implement interventions targeting mobility, strength, balance, and overall function.
• Work alongside a dynamic team of nurses, physicians, case managers, and other rehab specialists to ensure the best outcomes.
• Provide education to patients and families regarding therapeutic goals and home care.
• Keep accurate records of evaluations, treatments, and patient progress per facility protocols.
• Engage in team rounds and interdisciplinary meetings to promote seamless care.

To shine in this role, you should possess:

• A Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or a comparable degree from an accredited institution.
• State licensure as a Physical Therapist; CPR certification is preferred.
• Any specialized certifications (neurological or geriatric) would be welcomed.
• Previous experience in a clinical setting strongly preferred, with a comfort in digital charting systems.
• Exceptional communication and teamwork skills to navigate complex medical cases.

We offer a robust compensation package that includes comprehensive benefits — health, dental, and vision insurance options, continuing education reimbursements, generous paid time off, and a culture that prioritizes support and professional growth.

What you'll find in your daily routine is an inspiring variation of experiences. Each interaction opens the door to building trust and guiding patients through the crucial recovery stages, whether that's helping a patient regain their balance or encouraging someone as they conquer the challenges post-stroke. Your expertise will be vital as you tailor treatment paths, evaluate progress, and adjust care strategies. You'll also play a significant role in planning discharge details and ensuring that your patients transition smoothly back to their homes.
