About The Position

Hartford HealthCare Rehabilitation Network, a premier rehabilitation provider in Connecticut, is seeking a Float Physical Therapist (PT) for outpatient care. This role offers the opportunity to cover seven sites in the greater Southington, Newington, and New Britain areas, treating a diverse orthopedic population and specialties including vestibular care, concussion management, sports medicine, neurologic/movement disorders, balance and gait assessment, and orthopedics including post-op. The Physical Therapist independently evaluates, determines treatment strategies, delivers, and/or delegates services to identify, prevent, remediate, and rehabilitate acute or prolonged physical dysfunction or pain, with an emphasis on physical dysfunction.
