Physical Therapist; PT - Acute Care​/Swing Bed

Physical Therapist – Acute Care & Swing Bed

Full-Time | Inpatient Setting | Nonprofit Hospital

We’re looking for a full-time Physical Therapist to join a well-established inpatient rehab team within a nonprofit hospital system. This position includes a mix of acute care and swing bed caseloads, offering exposure to a broad patient population, close collaboration with other therapy disciplines, and the stability of a salaried hospital-based role.

The hospital recently underwent a major renovation, with a new addition completed in the last several years and an updated ICU completed just last year. The facility is modern, high-tech, and designed for smooth transitions of care across the acute and post-acute continuum.

• Patient care will be across Acute Care and Swing Bed units within the hospital

• Swing bed is a hospital-based post-acute program, where patients receive short-term rehab following acute medical treatment (similar to SNF/subacute, but delivered in a hospital environment)

• Therapists float between settings and often follow patients from ICU or acute into swing bed

• Patient population includes: general debility, COPD, CHF, stroke, and post-operative ortho cases

• ICU is a 6-bed unit, and the therapy team typically sees 2–3 swing bed patients at a time

• Daily caseload varies from 5–10 patients, depending on the mix of evaluations and treatment sessions

• Evaluation and treatment sessions typically run 30–45 minutes

• Standard schedule is Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with a 1-hour lunch break

• Weekend coverage is PT-only, based on a 1-in-6 on-call rotation for post-op ortho patients only — most weekends do not require in-person treatment

• DOR: 1 full-time Director of Rehab (PT background)

• PTs: 5 full-time staff (not including DOR)

• PTAs: 3

• OTs: 3

• SLPs: 1 full-time + 1 PRN

• Team members work collaboratively across settings and cover for one another when needed

• Strong culture of mentorship, support, and interdisciplinary collaboration

• $15,000 sign-on bonus with a 2-year commitment

• Student loan repayment: $7,500 per year, renewable for up to 7 years following each full year of service

• CEU reimbursement up to $1,500/year, reviewed case-by-case

• Licensure fees are reimbursed

• Relocation assistance available

• 20 days of PTO annually

• Productivity target is approximately 2 units per hour

• The focus is on quality care and interdisciplinary teamwork, not high-volume treatment numbers

New grads are welcome to apply. Whether you're early in your career or an experienced therapist seeking a stable hospital-based role, this position offers a chance to build broad clinical experience in a modern facility with strong support and low turnover.
