And you won’t be doing it alone! You’ll have a supportive Rehabilitation Director and dedicated mentorship as you get started, including weekly check-ins during your first few weeks.
As a Physical Therapist, you will:
- Provide rehabilitative services to residents under specific medical orders as part of a coordinated team.
- Plan initial and subsequent treatment programs based on clinical findings.
- Participate in clinical conferences to share and coordinate the plan of care for patients.
- Provide individualized, one-on-one treatment sessions with a functional approach.
- Collaborate with residents, families, and the interdisciplinary team to support meaningful outcomes.
Your Legacy career offers great experiences, work/life balance, and excellent rewards, including:
- Desirable Monday–Friday schedule with no weekend requirements
- $10,000 sign-on bonus
- 401(k)
- Medical, dental, vision, prescription, and pet insurance
- Paid time off (PTO) with rollover and buyout options at year’s end
- Company-paid group life insurance
- Flexible spending account
- Voluntary life, short-term disability, and long-term disability insurance
- Licensure reimbursement
- MedBridge access with unlimited online continuing education for full-time employees
- Career advancement opportunities
