Job description
Physical Therapist, Geriatrics

MISSION-DRIVEN · NON-PROFIT
If you became a PT to truly know your patients, not rush through quotas...this is the role you've been waiting for. A well-loved non-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community nestled in the Blue Ridge foothills is looking for a Physical Therapist who shares their deep passion for older adults and quality of life.

The in-house therapy team collaborates closely, leadership actually listens, and you'll have room to shape programming and grow your clinical skills on-site - vestibular rehab, chronic pain, pelvic health, and more. CEUs included.

- 23 PTO days + 7 paid holidays 401(k) with 4% employer match
- Tuition reimbursement & scholarship programs Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligible (non-profit)
