Job Description

  • Physical Therapist (PT) – PRN Weekends
  • Holy Redeemer Lafayette | Fox Chase – Philadelphia, PA
  • PRN | Weekend-Only Coverage | Skilled Nursing & Geriatric Rehabilitation
  • Looking for Weekend PRN PT Hours in Northeast Philadelphia?

Your weekdays are already busy. Why not make your weekend availability work for you?

AdvantageCare Rehabilitation is hiring a PRN Physical Therapist (PT) for weekend coverage at Holy Redeemer Lafayette in the Fox Chase area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

This is a great opportunity for a PT who wants to supplement their income, maintain a flexible work schedule, or stay clinically active without taking on another full-time or weekday commitment.

Whether you're working full-time during the week, looking for additional weekend hours, or simply prefer a PRN schedule, we'd love to connect with you!

Why PTs Enjoy This Setting

As a Physical Therapist at Holy Redeemer Lafayette, you'll work with an adult and geriatric population in a skilled nursing and rehabilitation environment, helping residents improve mobility, regain independence, and achieve meaningful functional goals.

Your Clinical Responsibilities May Include

  • Conducting comprehensive physical therapy evaluations and developing individualized treatment plans
  • Providing skilled PT interventions focused on strength, balance, mobility, endurance, and functional independence
  • Assessing and treating gait abnormalities, fall risks, and functional mobility limitations
  • Implementing therapeutic exercises, neuromuscular re-education, and functional training
  • Supporting residents recovering from surgery, illness, injury, or hospitalization
  • Providing patient, family, and caregiver education on mobility, safety, and home exercise programs
  • Collaborating with OT, SLP, nursing, and other members of the interdisciplinary team

Completing timely and accurate evaluations, treatment documentation, progress notes, and discharge recommendations

For a PT who enjoys geriatrics, orthopedic rehabilitation, neurological conditions, fall prevention, and medically complex patients, this is an opportunity to use your clinical skills while making a meaningful impact.

Weekend PRN That Works With Your Schedule

Already working Monday through Friday? We get it.

  • Not everyone looking for PRN work wants to add more hours to an already busy workweek.
  • We're specifically looking for a Physical Therapist interested in providing weekend-only PRN coverage, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who wants:
  • Weekend hours without a weekday commitment
  • Supplemental income alongside an existing full-time or part-time position
  • Flexible PRN opportunities based on facility coverage needs
  • An opportunity to remain clinically active in a skilled nursing setting
  • Additional experience working with adult and geriatric patients
  • A way to join a supportive rehabilitation team without committing to a traditional full-time schedule

Available Saturdays? Sundays? Both?

  • Let's talk about your availability and see how it aligns with our weekend coverage needs.
  • We understand that flexibility matters, and our goal is to identify PRN coverage opportunities that work for both our clinicians and the residents we serve.
