Physical Therapist (PT) Full-Time | $40-$57 per hour | Relocation Required – Rural Oregon
If you've ever wanted to practice where your work genuinely matters — not just productivity metrics — this is that kind of opportunity.
We're hiring Physical Therapists to relocate to a highly independent critical access hospital serving a small Eastern Oregon community of roughly 7,000 residents. This is true rural medicine: broad scope, strong community ties, and a pace that allows you to treat intentionally.
This facility is the only rehabilitation provider in the county. Relocation is required.
Why Therapists Stay
- No rehab turnover in the past two years
- Stable, supportive leadership
- Daily team huddles and structured 1-on-1 check-ins
- Collaborative, "work family" culture
- Mix of local clinicians and those who relocated for lifestyle
This is not a stepping-stone department. It's a long-term team.
The Clinical Role
Open PT positions include:
- Inpatient / Outpatient mix
- Home-based care option available
Caseload variety includes:
- Orthopedics
- Neurological rehab
- Pelvic health
- Lymphedema
- Pediatrics
You'll develop true generalist strength with the support of a tight-knit team.
Schedule & Workflow
- Flexible scheduling: 5×8s or 4×10s
- 1:1 patient care model
- 60-minute evaluations
- 45–60 minute treatment sessions
- One hour of paid documentation time daily
This is structured, sustainable practice — not volume-driven throughput.
Compensation & Incentives
- Equivalent to approximately $40–$57 per hour
- $10,000 sign-on bonus for PT
- Relocation assistance based on distance
- Structured raises tied to competency assessments
Benefits
- 100% employer-paid HDHP premium (employee-only)
- Employer HSA contribution
- 403(b) with employer match
- Generous PTO with rollover
- Additional wellness and community-based perks
Housing & Relocation Support
Rental listings in this area are often word-of-mouth. HR maintains direct landlord connections and actively assists incoming staff with housing leads. Temporary housing options may be available during transition.
Candidates must be genuinely open to rural living.
Lifestyle
This community is surrounded by national forest land and mountain terrain. Outdoor access includes hiking, skiing, fishing, and open space — without traffic, congestion, or urban density.
Weekend access to larger Oregon cities and neighboring states is realistic, but daily life here is quiet, close-knit, and community-centered.
Ideal Candidates
- Inexperienced therapists welcome (mentorship provided)
- Strong communication and soft skills
- Comfortable with broad caseload variety
- Team-oriented and values-driven
- Open to practicing in a frontier-style setting
Hiring Process
- Initial virtual interview
- On-site visit required before offer
- Offers may be extended quickly when mutual fit is confirmed
If you're an Oregon-based Physical Therapist considering a meaningful rural relocation with long-term stability and true community impact, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
Qualified candidates are typically contacted promptly.
