Job description

Rebuild Lives and Strengthen Communities in the Heart of Iowa's Wellness Corridor

Are you a passionate Physical Therapist who thrives on helping people find their strength again - physically, emotionally, and socially? We're looking for someone like you to join our growing care team, where clinical excellence meets small-town warmth and a forward-thinking health culture. You'll also have an opportunity to work first-hand in school sports supporting athletes.

We don't just focus on rehabilitation - we focus on transformation. Whether it's a post-op recovery or a sports injury comeback, your work will be a vital thread in someone's healing journey. You'll be empowered to practice your craft fully, with a supportive team, purpose-driven patients, and a community that truly values care.

What You'll Do Each Day

  • Perform comprehensive assessments and create personalized treatment plans rooted in the latest physical therapy evidence
  • Deliver therapeutic interventions designed to maximize mobility, function, and independence across a diverse patient base
  • Work with patients recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or rebuilding strength after injury
  • Collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals for integrated, patient-centered care
  • Educate patients and their families on exercises, techniques, and lifestyle adjustments that promote long-term health
  • Provide support to local schools and community sports teams when needed
  • Maintain up-to-date, accurate documentation in accordance with organizational standards and industry compliance

Your Qualifications and Licensure

  • Graduate of an accredited Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program (Master's-level therapists also encouraged to apply)
  • Active Iowa Physical Therapist License (or eligibility to obtain)
  • BLS Certification required
  • Previous experience in outpatient or school-based settings is a plus, but we welcome new graduates with strong clinical skills and a desire to grow
  • Skills That Set You Apart

  • Compassionate and communicative - someone who builds trust quickly and motivates patients through their recovery journey
  • Flexible and adaptable - able to support outpatient care, inpatient rehab, and occasional community involvement
  • Tech-savvy and documentation proficient - skilled in EMRs and charting with a sharp eye for detail
  • Team-oriented - thrives in a collaborative environment where everyone contributes to patient outcomes
  • Benefits of Joining Our Team

  • Competitive compensation package aligned with experience and qualifications
  • Full suite of medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous PTO , holidays, and sick leave
  • 401(k) with match and financial wellness support
  • Continuing education stipends and licensure reimbursement
  • Opportunities for mentorship, leadership development, and clinical specialization
  • Flexible scheduling and options for community involvement or school-based care outreach
  • A Lifestyle That Supports Your Calling

    Where you'll work is one of those rare places that offers the best of all worlds - a strong economy, an active lifestyle culture, and the kind of neighborly spirit that makes everyday life feel a little more grounded.

    Wake up to trails that stretch across prairies and parks. Unwind in farm-to-table cafes, live music venues, or local co-ops that celebrate Iowa-grown produce. Weekends bring farmers markets, football games, bike rides along the Raccoon River Valley Trail, or quick trips to Des Moines for arts, food, and festivals.

    In this part of Iowa, healthcare isn't an industry - it's a community pillar. Schools value movement science and team sports. Employers invest in wellness programs. Residents take pride in staying active, staying engaged, and supporting one another - making this a dream backdrop for a Physical Therapist who wants to feel appreciated both in and outside of work.

    A Role That Gives More Than a Paycheck

    This isn't just a clinic job. It's a chance to build something lasting - not just with your patients, but with your peers, your city, and your own goals. We believe your skills deserve respect, your time deserves flexibility, and your heart deserves purpose.

    If you're seeking a place where your work matters, your ideas are heard, and your success is celebrated, we encourage you to apply.

    Let's Move Forward - Together

    If you're ready to bring your talent, empathy, and vision to a team that's redefining physical therapy with intention and heart, we'd love to connect. Apply today and take your next career step in a place that feels like home - because here, movement is medicine, and purpose leads the way.

    Estimated Salary Range for This Role in Iowa :

    $75,000 - $94,000 annually depending on experience and certifications.
