Join Our Team as a Physical Therapist – Empower Recovery, Transform Lives

Are you passionate about helping others regain their strength, mobility, and independence? As a Physical Therapist with Hartford HealthCare, you will be at the heart of a collaborative care team, making a real difference in patients’ lives every day.

What We Offer

• Career growth and movement opportunities within our network

• On-going education and training

• Special Interest Groups
• MedBridge Subscription
• Referral Bonus Program (top leader number of employee referrals in the industry)
• Wellness Programs
• Employee Discount Programs
• Supportive culture
• Awards & Recognition
• Flexible Scheduling

• Rewarding Compensation

• Clinical specialty opportunities

Looking for flexibility without sacrificing impact? Join our team at Backus Hospital as a Per Diem Physical Therapist and enjoy the freedom to build a schedule that works for you.

We’re seeking a compassionate and skilled PT to provide weekend, holiday, and time-off coverage, with additional weekday opportunities available. This is a great role for clinicians who value work-life balance while staying actively engaged in meaningful patient care.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Flexible scheduling to fit your lifestyle

• Opportunity to work with a diverse patient population

• Supportive, collaborative clinical environment

• Make a meaningful difference—when and how you choose to work

As a Physical Therapist, you will:

• Evaluate, treat, and educate patients with neurological, burn/wound, and musculoskeletal conditions

• Care for individuals with acute and chronic physical disabilities

• Apply evidence-based physical therapy techniques to relieve pain

• Restore physical function and promote independence

• Empower patients and families through education and personalized care plans

If you’re passionate about helping patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence—and want the flexibility of per diem work—we’d love to connect with you

• Bachelor’s Degree in physical therapy required, Master’s or DPT preferred.
• CT PT license and BLS certification required.
• Open to recent graduates. One year experience in acute care or outpatient setting preferred.
• Position may support the Waterford office if needed in the future.
