Physical Therapist - Acute Care

Physical Therapist | Acute Care | Jacksonville, FL | Non-Profit Hospital System

About the Role

A not-for-profit hospital system in the Jacksonville area is adding a full-time physical therapist to its acute care team. This is a good landing spot for clinicians who want a wide case mix and colleagues who will actually take the time to teach.

• No productivity pressure; patient-centered care is the stated priority

• Cross-training across departments, with CEU support and paths into specialty or leadership work
• Optional PRN weekend shifts for anyone wanting additional hours

Compensation & Benefits

• Sign-on bonus
• Student loan repayment assistance
• Relocation support
• PSLF eligible as a non-profit employer
• 20 days PTO

Qualifications
