Job description

Physical Therapist, Geriatrics
Polk County, NC

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.

- 65–75% productivity expectation: focus on care, not counting units 
- Salaried model: your paycheck doesn't dip when a patient cancels - No on-call. No weekends. Monday–Friday, 40 hrs/week.

This campus offers a full continuum of care (Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing), which means you follow residents through their journey rather than handing them off. No mandated group therapy. Individualized care, every session.

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.

BENEFITS & PERKS

- 23 PTO days + 7 paid holidays 401(k) with 4% employer match
- Tuition reimbursement & scholarship programs Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligible (non-profit)
- Annual raises
- On-site dining with executive chef Wellness initiatives & employee appreciation events 

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Degree in Physical Therapy (DPT, MPT, or BPT) Active or eligible NC PT license
- SNF and/or outpatient experience a plus - new grads welcome
- A team-first mindset and a real love for working with older adults

This is a rare opportunity to practice the way you always meant to — with time, intention, and a team that cares as much as you do. If that sounds like home, let's talk.
