As a Physical Therapist, you play a pivotal role in facilitating healing - ensuring patients regain their dignity, momentum, and hope during their most vulnerable moments. You'll do all this in an environment that redefines adventure, daily interactions, and personal growth. We invite you to join our dedicated Physical Therapy team in Lincoln, Nebraska - a picturesque city that blends professional growth with a lifestyle enriched by warm community spirit. At this crossroads of healthcare excellence and vibrant living, you will find your purpose making lasting changes in the lives of those you serve. In this role, you'll be responsible for evaluating patients in inpatient or outpatient settings and crafting customized treatment plans tailored to individual needs. Your expertise will come into play as you implement physical therapy interventions designed to enhance mobility, strength, balance, and overall function. Collaboration is key; you will work closely with nurses, physicians, case managers, and fellow rehabilitation professionals to optimize patient outcomes. Additionally, part of your mission will be to educate patients and their families about therapeutic goals, discharge preparations, and home exercise routines. You will meticulously document evaluations, treatments, and progress, adhering to facility guidelines and regulatory standards, and regularly participate in interdisciplinary meetings to ensure patients receive cohesive care. To qualify, you should hold a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or an equivalent degree from an accredited program, coupled with state licensure as a Physical Therapist. While CPR certification is preferred, specialized certifications in areas such as geriatrics or neurology would be considered a plus. You'll need to bring prior experience into the fold, especially with patients who have complex medical and mobility concerns, while fostering robust communication and teamwork skills. Being adept in digital charting and clinical documentation systems will be essential in this role. In terms of benefits, we provide a competitive compensation package along with comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.

Here, camaraderie flourishes in a supportive team culture, complete with avenues for clinical advancement. The work you will do is incredibly diverse and each patient's journey will present its unique challenges. You'll become an essential support system for those recovering from procedures, guiding them as they work through the painstaking steps of their rehabilitation process. Your role encompasses a hands-on approach where your clinical expertise meets heartfelt compassion, allowing you to adapt treatment plans as you monitor progress carefully. Be prepared to contribute meaningfully to discharge planning and help facilitate safe transitions for your patients as they move to their homes.
