This is a full-time, permanent Director of Rehabilitation role within an Inpatient Rehabilitation setting
—one of the most demanding and fulfilling environments in healthcare. In inpatient rehab, therapy is truly at the heart of patient recovery. Your team will work with individuals at some of the most critical moments of their lives, guiding them through a 3–4 week stay and witnessing meaningful, often dramatic improvements as patients regain independence and return home. Patient populations include Orthopedic, Neurological, and Cardiac cases, with therapists typically treating 4–5 patients per day
. Success in this role requires more than clinical expertise—it requires the mindset of a servant leader who is deeply committed to patient care, team development, and long-term impact. This position is ideal for a leader who is not simply seeking a next job, but rather a career opportunity where they can invest in people, outcomes, and a mission-driven organization.
