StartDate: 6/1/2026 Available Shifts: 8 D Pay Rate: $2522.00 - $2599.00

his Physical Therapist opportunity is based in a skilled rehabilitation setting in Shelbyville, Kentucky, a community known for its friendly atmosphere, strong sense of local pride, and beautiful rolling countryside. Shelbyville is often called the American Saddlebred Capital, offering a unique equestrian culture, horse farms, and scenic drives through Kentucky’s famed bluegrass landscape. Residents enjoy a charming historic downtown with locally owned shops, cafes, and restaurants, as well as easy access to bourbon distillery tours, rural farm experiences, and authentic small-town events and festivals throughout the year. Shelbyville provides abundant outdoor recreation with nearby parks, walking trails, and opportunities for boating, fishing, and picnicking at local lakes and green spaces. The town’s location between Louisville and Lexington allows convenient access to big-city amenities, entertainment, and airports while maintaining a more relaxed pace of life, short commutes, and a close-knit community feel. This balance makes Shelbyville an appealing place to live and work for professionals who value both quality of life and career growth. In this skilled rehab setting, you will join a cohesive and supportive interdisciplinary team that may include physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, nursing staff, and case managers, all focused on safe, timely, and functional recovery for adult and geriatric patients. The facility serves a diverse post-acute caseload, including patients recovering from orthopedic surgeries, fractures, strokes, deconditioning, cardiopulmonary events, and other complex medical conditions that benefit from intensive rehabilitation. Your typical day will include evaluating new admissions, developing individualized plans of care, and providing one-on-one and small-group treatments designed to restore mobility, improve balance, increase strength and endurance, and maximize independence in activities of daily living. You will perform gait training, transfer training, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, and patient and family education, while closely monitoring functional progress and adjusting treatment plans as needed. You will collaborate closely with nursing and the broader care team to coordinate safe discharge planning, including recommendations for equipment, home exercise programs, and support services. Documentation is completed in an electronic medical record system, with an emphasis on accurate functional reporting and outcome measures that reflect patient progress and regulatory requirements. Depending on the unit, patient caseloads are designed to support quality, individualized care and may range through a typical skilled rehab PT schedule over day or evening shifts. Shifts are most commonly daytime hours with potential for some weekend or holiday rotation to support continuous rehab services. The environment is professional yet welcoming, with a focus on mentorship, collaboration, and ongoing skill development. This role offers the opportunity to build strong clinical expertise in post-acute and geriatric rehabilitation while working in a community that values healthcare professionals and offers a comfortable, engaging lifestyle.
