Physical Therapist (PT) - Acute Care Hospital

Nealy Pierce, LLC • Full-time • Hattiesburg, MS, United States, MS, United States • 2d ago

Occupational Therapist | Acute Care (Hospital-Based)
Full-Time | $15K Sign-On Bonus | Relocation Assistance | Mentorship Program

Why This Role Stands Out

Build Diverse Acute Care Skills:

Work in a Level II Trauma Center with Certified Stroke Center designation
See a full spectrum of acute cases: ICU, stroke, trauma, ortho, neuro, and general medical
Gain exposure to high-acuity patients in a major regional medical center
Part of an 8-hospital health system with opportunities for internal mobility

Manageable Caseload & Realistic Expectations:

See 8–10 patients per day in a hospital setting
Productivity goals are loosely tracked—focus on quality patient care, not quotas
Work alongside experienced PTs, PTAs, COTAs, and SLPs in a collaborative environment

Exceptional Mentorship (New Grads Welcome!):

Formal mentorship program with experienced preceptors
Structured onboarding designed to build competency within 90 days
Gradual ramp-up: full days with preceptor → half days → independent practice with chart review support
Learn from a leadership team with decades of acute care experience

Strong Financial Package:

$15,000 sign-on bonus ($5,000 after orientation, then $2,500 at 7, 12, 18, and 24 months)
$2/hour shift differential for acute care
Up to $2,500 relocation assistance (reimbursed with receipts)
Competitive hourly pay based on experience

Schedule & Benefits

Schedule:

Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM with 30-minute lunch
Weekend rotation: 1 in 4 when fully staffed

Comprehensive Benefits:

21 days PTO (start accruing Day 1) + 12 sick days annually
403(b) retirement plan with 50% employer match up to 6% (3% total contribution)
Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance starting Day 1
$250/year CEU budget + 1 paid education day for completing 6 CEUs
PSLF-eligible (nonprofit hospital system)
YMCA partnership for discounted membership

You're a Strong Fit If You:

Hold a degree in Physical Therapy from an accredited program and are licensed or license-eligible
Are a new graduate or experienced therapist looking to grow in acute care
Thrive in collaborative, team-oriented environments
Are passionate about helping medically complex patients regain function and independence
Want to build a versatile acute care skillset in a supportive, mentorship-driven setting
