Physical Therapist - PRN

Cleveland Clinic • Canton, OH • 3h ago

Join Cleveland Clinic's Mercy Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. Officially becoming a full member of the Cleveland Clinic Health System in 2021, Mercy Hospital offers a wide variety of medical specialties to the communities in and around Stark County. Here, you will work alongside passionate and dedicated caregivers, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.

Physical Therapists test muscle strength, the amount of flexibility in joints, and the ability to walk or move. Treatments include exercises to increase strength, range of motion, endurance, and coordination, the use of heat, cold, electricity, or even aquatics to relieve pain, and teaching exercises and body mechanics to avoid injury or regain function. Since this position requires physical interaction with patients, Physical Therapists are highly connected with patients and build stronger patient relationships than most other health sciences specialists. Often, physical therapy patients are dealing with pain, so sensitivity is important. Equally important is giving patients the drive and support they need to work hard and regain their health.

A PRN caregiver in this position works as needed weekend days from 8:00AM - 4:30PM. Working two shifts per month is required.

A caregiver who excels in this role will:

Evaluate and conduct prescribed physical therapy treatment programs.

Perform initial and ongoing assessments of patients' conditions.

Establish, revise and evaluate plans of care while involving the patient and/or their family.

Perform therapy interventions.

Minimum qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:

Bachelor's Degree or certificate

Current state licensure as a Physical Therapist (PT)

Current Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification through the American Heart Association (AHA) or American Red Cross

Preferred qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:

Experience in a clinical area

Physical Requirements:

Ability to walk and climb stairs without assistive device and to maintain balance despite sudden load in order to support patient from falling.

Sensation of touch and manual dexterity to be able to palpate muscle tension or to monitor patient pulse.
