Job Description

Per DIEM Physical Therapist

MAKE MORE THAN A LIVING—MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Earn $100 Per Routine Visit at TRU Healthcare!

Are you a passionate Physical Therapist (PT) looking for flexibility, independence, and meaningful work? At TRU Healthcare, we're more than a healthcare provider—we're a community rooted in servant leadership, empathy, altruism, and integrity.

We're looking for a PT who wants to make a difference while enjoying the freedom of a per diem schedule. With $100 per routine visit, you'll have the opportunity to earn competitive pay while making a meaningful impact on the lives of patients in your community.

Making a Difference for Our Patients

At TRU Healthcare, we reach beyond traditional care settings to touch the lives of those in our community. Our mission is to serve the underserved and help ensure access to quality healthcare, especially for those who may be overlooked by the traditional healthcare system.

As a Physical Therapist, you'll work one-on-one with patients in their homes, helping them improve mobility, increase independence, and achieve meaningful goals in their everyday lives.

Making a Difference for You

Recognized as one of Star Tribune's 2023 Top Places to Work, TRU Healthcare is committed to creating a workplace where respect, appreciation, and teamwork are part of every day.

Our per diem opportunities offer the flexibility to choose work that fits your schedule while allowing you to focus on what you do best—providing exceptional patient care.

Still Spending Your Evenings Buried in Documentation? That ENDS Here.

At TRU Healthcare, we've embraced innovative, AI-powered documentation tools that are changing the game. Our clinicians have the tools to complete documentation more efficiently, meaning less paperwork, less documentation fatigue, and more time where it belongs: with your patients and your life outside of work.

Work smarter, finish faster, and spend more time doing what you became a Physical Therapist to do—help people move and live better.

  • Collaborate with the Care Team: Work with nurses, occupational therapists, aides, physicians, patients, and families to coordinate comprehensive care.
  • Educate Patients and Caregivers: Provide instruction on therapeutic exercises, mobility, safety, and strategies that support continued progress at home.
  • Maintain Clinical Documentation: Complete timely, accurate documentation and communicate patient progress and changes in condition to the appropriate care team members.
