Nealy Pierce is partnering with a nonprofit hospital system in the Orlando, FL area to hire a full-time Inpatient Rehab (IPR) Physical Therapist. This is a permanent, W-2 hospital-based position with a neurologically complex caseload, modern rehab technology, and a clinical culture built around mentorship and team-based care.

Why This Orlando IPR Role Stands Out:

• Predominantly neurological caseload, including stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI), amputee rehabilitation, and multi-trauma patients
• PSLF eligible (Public Service Loan Forgiveness) through nonprofit hospital employer
• Sustainable daily workload, 4 to 6 patients per day with 60 to 90 minute sessions
• Approximately 6 contact hours per 8-hour shift, one of the lowest productivity expectations in inpatient rehab
• Access to advanced rehabilitation technology and specialized neurological therapy equipment
• Recently updated clinical space featuring private patient rooms
• Collaborative interdisciplinary team of experienced PTs, OTs, and SLPs
• Built-in mentorship from senior IPR therapists for clinical and professional growth

Schedule:

• Flexible morning start windows (8 AM – 9 AM)
• Permanent full-time hospital position

Compensation & Benefits:

• Meaningful sign-on bonus structured over a multi-year commitment
• Option to apply sign-on directly to a student loan servicer
• Relocation assistance available (receipt-based)
• PSLF eligible through nonprofit hospital employer
• Annual merit increases up to 3%, plus Merit Plus performance bonus when hospital benchmarks are met
• Up to $500 annual wellness bonus
• Weekend hour differential
• CEU support (case-by-case, prioritizing marketable certifications)
• 23 days PTO annually
• Complete medical, dental, vision, and life insurance package
• Employer-contributed retirement plan

Who Fits This Role:

• DPT or MPT graduate from an accredited physical therapy program
• Active or pending applicable state PT license
• Acute care PTs with a relevant inpatient rotation will be strongly considered
• Clinically detail-oriented with a big-picture patient care mindset
• Confident communicator with patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams
• Team-first mindset with a servant-leader approach to care
