Physical Therapist
About This Role
Physical Therapist
Alright, let's talk about this job. It's at The Quad Cities Rehabilitation Institute in Peoria, IL, which is part of Encompass Health. I've been placing therapists here for years, and they run a serious operation. They're a national leader in inpatient rehab. That means you're not just a number; you're in their well equipped gyms with the latest tech, but the real focus is on the patients. You'll see their progress firsthand, and that's the whole point.
The team there has a specific way of working. They collaborate for the greater good, as they put it. And they've got the accolades to back it up; named one of the "World's Most Admired Companies" and a Fortune 100 Best Company to Work For.
What You'll Do
This is direct inpatient care. Your day is built around the patients who need physical therapy.
- You'll lead patient assessments and create the personalized care plans.
- Supervising treatments and addressing patient concerns is central to the role.
- It requires building real relationships. You have to understand their physical, mental, and emotional needs to properly support recovery.
- And you get to celebrate every victory with them. That part matters.
What You Need to Have
- Current state licensure or certification as a Physical Therapist. That's non negotiable.
- A CPR certification needs to be active.
- On education: a Master's Degree is preferred. They will also consider a Bachelor's Degree if you have sufficient experience in the field.
The Details & Benefits
This is a full time position. They're offering a $10,000 sign on bonus.
The benefits start on day one, which is better than most places that make you wait 90 days.
- They offer affordable medical, dental, and vision plans for full time employees and their families.
- Paid time off accrues over time; it's generous.
- There's tuition reimbursement and continuous education opportunities if you want to advance.
- For your finances: a company matching 401(k) plan and an employee stock purchase plan.
- You can also use flexible spending and health savings accounts.
The Bottom Line
If you're early in your career looking for a strong foundation, or an experienced PT searching for a better environment to call home, this could be it. It's a place where your passion for care actually fuels the work. They're eager to meet genuinely qualified candidates.
