Physical Therapist (PT) - Acute Care

Nealy Pierce, LLC

Acute Care Physical Therapist | Atlanta GA | PSLF + $5K Sign-On

We're partnering with a nonprofit hospital system in the Atlanta, GA area to hire a full-time Acute Care Physical Therapist (PT). This is a permanent, salaried role in a mission-driven hospital environment, ideal for PTs passionate about treating complex populations and building a long-term acute care career.

Why This Acute PT Role Stands Out:

  • Nonprofit hospital — make a meaningful clinical impact in a mission-driven environment
  • PSLF eligible (Public Service Loan Forgiveness) through nonprofit hospital employer
  • Multidisciplinary team of PTs, OTs, and SLPs working in a coordinated care model
  • 90-day 1-on-1 mentorship program — ideal for new graduate PTs or experienced PTs transitioning into neuro acute care
  • 1 month (20+ days) of PTO for real work-life balance

Day-to-Day:

  • Acute care caseload of 8-10 patients per day
  • Reasonable productivity expectations
  • Treatment sessions structured around patient needs, not rigid time blocks
  • Interdisciplinary rounds and care coordination with physicians, nursing, and rehab team
  • Integrated hospital-wide EMR (Epic-based)
  • Mix of ICU, step-down, med-surg, and neurosurgical floors

Compensation & Benefits:

  • $5,000 sign-on bonus
  • Annual student loan repayment available
  • PSLF eligible through nonprofit hospital system
  • 1 month paid time off (20+ days PTO) from day one
  • Full medical, dental, vision benefits
  • Retirement plan with employer match
  • CEU allowance and continuing education support

Ideal Candidate:

  • DPT or MPT from an accredited program
  • New graduate physical therapists welcome (structured 90-day mentorship provided)
  • Experienced acute care or neuro PTs strongly encouraged to apply
  • Active or pending Georgia PT license
  • NCS certification, neuro residency, or strong neuro rotation experience a plus but not required
  • Team-oriented, strong communicator, servant-leader mindset
  • Passion for patient-centered, evidence-based neuro care
