Physical Therapist (PT) Orthopedics - Full Time Permanent
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
- 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
- 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.
Active or pending Tennessee PT license
New graduate physical therapists and experienced PTs welcome
Collaborative, team-building personality
H-1B visa sponsorship not available for this role
Affordable cost of living, a growing downtown and food scene, and world-class outdoor access including rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and the Tennessee River. A great market for PTs who want real career growth in a city worth actually living in.
Nealy Pierce specializes in permanent PT, OT, and SLP placements with hospital systems nationwide.
