Nealy Pierce, LLC
Hattiesburg, MS Full Time
POSTED ON 10/25/2026 CLOSED ON 10/29/2026

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Physical Therapist (PT) - Acute Care Hospital position at Nealy Pierce, LLC?

Occupational Therapist | Acute Care (Hospital-Based)
Full-Time | $15K Sign-On Bonus | Relocation Assistance | Mentorship Program



Why This Role Stands Out

Build Diverse Acute Care Skills:



  • Work in a Level II Trauma Center with Certified Stroke Center designation

  • See a full spectrum of acute cases: ICU, stroke, trauma, ortho, neuro, and general medical

  • Gain exposure to high-acuity patients in a major regional medical center

  • Part of an 8-hospital health system with opportunities for internal mobility


Manageable Caseload & Realistic Expectations:



  • See 8–10 patients per day in a hospital setting

  • Productivity goals are loosely tracked—focus on quality patient care, not quotas

  • Work alongside experienced PTs, PTAs, COTAs, and SLPs in a collaborative environment


Exceptional Mentorship (New Grads Welcome!):



  • Formal mentorship program with experienced preceptors

  • Structured onboarding designed to build competency within 90 days

  • Gradual ramp-up: full days with preceptor → half days → independent practice with chart review support

  • Learn from a leadership team with decades of acute care experience


Strong Financial Package:



  • $15,000 sign-on bonus ($5,000 after orientation, then $2,500 at 7, 12, 18, and 24 months)

  • $2/hour shift differential for acute care

  • Up to $2,500 relocation assistance (reimbursed with receipts)

  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience



Schedule & Benefits

Schedule:



  • Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM with 30-minute lunch

  • Weekend rotation: 1 in 4 when fully staffed


Comprehensive Benefits:



  • 21 days PTO (start accruing Day 1) 12 sick days annually

  • 403(b) retirement plan with 50% employer match up to 6% (3% total contribution)

  • Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance starting Day 1

  • $250/year CEU budget 1 paid education day for completing 6 CEUs

  • PSLF-eligible (nonprofit hospital system)

  • YMCA partnership for discounted membership



You're a Strong Fit If You:

  • Hold a degree in Physical Therapy from an accredited program and are licensed or license-eligible

  • Are a new graduate or experienced therapist looking to grow in acute care

  • Thrive in collaborative, team-oriented environments

  • Are passionate about helping medically complex patients regain function and independence

  • Want to build a versatile acute care skillset in a supportive, mentorship-driven setting
