About This Role
This position places a licensed physical therapist at a skilled nursing facility in Payson, Utah, where you'll work directly with residents recovering from injuries, surgeries, and age-related conditions. Your days will involve conducting assessments, developing treatment plans, and delivering hands-on therapy to help patients regain mobility and independence. You'll collaborate with nursing staff and other healthcare providers to coordinate care and track patient progress. This role suits therapists who enjoy working with older adults in a residential setting and prefer the stability of a facility-based schedule rather than traveling between locations. Strong communication skills and patience are essential, as you'll be working with patients at varying stages of recovery. The position offers the chance to build ongoing relationships with residents while making a measurable difference in their quality of life.

Frequently asked questions
What license do I need to apply?
An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.
Is this a school-year or year-round position?
School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.
What experience is expected?
Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
