*More than a job. It's a place to build a life.

Where you work matters. Where you live matters more. Jacksonville and St. Johns County offer something most healthcare markets can't — a genuinely high quality of life at a cost that lets you actually enjoy it.

• No state income tax. - Florida has zero state income tax, which means more of every paycheck stays with you — especially compared to Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, or most other states you might consider.
• Affordable cost of living. - Below the national average, with housing roughly 30–50% lower than South Florida — with the same access to beaches and sunshine.
• Year-round outdoor lifestyle. - Beaches, the St. Johns River, golf, fishing, surfing — this region is built for people who want to be outside.
• Top-ranked schools. - St. Johns County is consistently ranked among the top school districts in Florida — relevant if you're planting roots with a family.
• History and character. - Saint Augustine is the oldest city in the country. The region has real identity, distinct neighborhoods, and a sense of place you don't find in most healthcare markets.
• The Florida advantage. - No taxes on retirement or pension income either — what you build here, you keep here.

Requirements:

• Graduate of an accredited Physical Therapy program (DPT)
• Eligible for or currently licensed as a Physical Therapist in the state of Florida
• Strong interest in orthopedic physical therapy
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Willingness to learn, grow, and contribute to a team-based culture
• New graduates encouraged to apply
