About The Position

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Martin North Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. This downtown Stuart hospital provides top-quality patient care to the communities in and around Martin County on the beautiful Indian River. The caregivers at Martin North Hospital have made it not only an excellent medical facility, but also a home away from home. As a Physical Therapist, you will utilize various exercises to help patients increase strength, range of motion, endurance and coordination. Because this position requires close interaction, you have the opportunity to build strong relationships with both patients and their families. Often, your patients are dealing with pain, so sensitivity is important. Ultimately, your unconditional support and reassurance can drive them to work hard and regain their health. This is a regular PRN position, with caregivers working days varying between 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. or 9:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. This is a 3-day per week role, with 8-hour workdays and flexible start and end times. Due to current business needs, the role may require working across multiple sites rather than being fixed to a single location.
