PT / Physical Therapist

Overview Imagine a role where each day, your contributions help individuals reclaim their independence, take their first steps after surgery, or rediscover their voice following illness. As a PT / Physical Therapist, you won't merely facilitate healing - you'll restore dignity, foster momentum, and ignite hope during some of life's most delicate moments. Picture yourself in a vibrant city where professional growth seamlessly blends with an enriching lifestyle. In this pursuit, we are in search of a dedicated and empathetic PT / Physical Therapist to join our exceptional team in Oakland, California - an area renowned for its rich culture, dynamic community, and inspiring surroundings. If you have the passion to make a direct, meaningful difference and seek to thrive in a collective atmosphere, this opportunity is perfect for you. Description Every day brings unique challenges, and every interaction holds significance. Your role will involve evaluating patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings and crafting personalized treatment plans tailored specifically to their needs. As you administer physical therapy interventions that concentrate on mobility, strength, balance, and overall function, you'll collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team of nurses, physicians, case managers, and rehabilitation specialists to cultivate the best possible outcomes. Educating patients and their families about therapeutic goals, discharge planning, and effective home exercises will also be vital components of your day-to-day responsibilities. You'll maintain comprehensive documentation of evaluations, treatments, and patient progress according to established facility and regulatory guidelines, while also participating in team rounds and interdisciplinary conferences to ensure seamless care delivery. Education The ideal candidate will possess a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or an equivalent credential from a recognized program. Certifications A valid state licensure as a PT / Physical Therapist is required. While CPR certification is preferred, any specialized credentials (e.g., neurological or geriatric certifications) will certainly be seen as a plus but are not mandatory. Skills We prefer candidates with prior experience who can demonstrate their capability to treat patients facing complex medical and mobility challenges. Strong communication and teamwork abilities, along with proficiency in digital charting and clinical documentation systems, are essential for success in this role. Benefits We offer a competitive compensation package combined with comprehensive benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance. You'll enjoy future learning opportunities with continuing education and licensure reimbursement, paid time off, and a flexible scheduling framework. Our supportive team culture promotes collaboration and fosters the chance for career advancement. What You'll Be Doing Every day in this position is distinct, providing you opportunities to make significant connections with patients. Whether guiding someone to regain their balance post-surgery or assisting others in navigating the often challenging recovery journey after a stroke, your role as a trusted guide will be paramount. This hands-on work blends clinical expertise with a heartfelt approach. Assessing patient needs, implementing personalized treatment plans, and evolving care strategies as patients progress will be central to your success. Alongside a collaborative care team, you'll play a key role in discharge planning and ensuring safe transitions back to home and community living. Who We're Looking For More than just your qualifications, you understand that movement can heal, that compassion makes a difference, and that each milestone, no matter how small, is a meaningful victory. We seek a PT / Physical Therapist who exhibits clinical proficiency, emotional acumen, and an aptitude for thriving in a fast-paced multidisciplinary environment.
