About This Role
This full-time position at Encompass Health involves delivering direct patient care in a rehabilitation hospital setting. You'll work with patients recovering from serious injuries and illnesses, designing and executing treatment plans to help them regain mobility and independence. Your days will include hands-on therapy sessions, progress assessments, and collaboration with an interdisciplinary medical team. The role suits licensed physical therapists who thrive on seeing measurable patient outcomes and building relationships with those in their care. You'll have the chance to work in a stable hospital environment where your clinical expertise is valued and you can focus on patient progress rather than high-volume throughput.

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.
