Description

Mammoth Hospital is looking for a Physical Therapist or Physical Therapist Assistant to join our dedicated and highly skilled team comprised of avid outdoors enthusiasts (rock climbers, triathletes, mountaineers, ultramarathoners!). Physical Therapists are responsible for the evaluation of patients referred for physical therapy treatment, formulation of a treatment plan and goals, and administration of the physical therapy treatments. Physical Therapist Assistants are responsible for following the Physical Therapist's treatment plan and administration of physical therapy treatments. The Physical Therapist or Physical Therapist Assistant will work out of both the Mammoth and Bishop locations based on demand.  They will be active in inpatient and outpatient services, interacting with all hospital departments and medical staff.

Mammoth Hospital is a progressive, patient-centered, and quality driven 17-bed Critical Access Hospital and Rural Health Clinic with advanced technology, modern facilities, and superb medical staff. We are a financially sound, award winning District Hospital with over 400 talented team members serving the health care needs of Mammoth Lakes’ residents and guests. Our tight-knit group of physicians, nurses, and an excellent and highly skilled support staff share a common interest of caring for the community and our growing visitor population.

During winter you can ski and snowboard the legendary Mammoth and June Mountains or take off into the wilderness on your cross country skis. Spring is our fishing opener where the town of Mammoth LAKES really gets its name and our abundance of alpine lakes are filled with trophy trout. The sharp and craggy granite peaks of the Sierra Nevada Range also form a dramatic backdrop for meadows brightly colored by wildflowers.

Explore thousands of miles of trails and even the road to Yosemite National Park just a 45 minute drive from town. You’ll never tire of finding secret alpine lakes, lush aspen-lined streams and forested hideaways tucked away in the mountains. From the Pacific Crest and the John Muir Trails to short day hikes, there’s something for everyone in the Eastern Sierra.

Do you prefer to travel on two wheels? If so, miles and miles of quiet mountain roads and epic road bike climbs are calling your name. Prefer the dirt? We’ve got plenty of cross country and downhill trails. You can take the lift up to 11,000 feet and plummet down some black diamond bike trails on Mammoth Mountain. Or take the beginner trails with the whole family! You can even bike to work at Mammoth Hospital on our many local bike paths.

Finish up any epic day with a great meal at any of our fine dining restaurants where you are bound to run into a friend from Mammoth Hospital! We also have excellent schools and a local community college along with a burgeoning theater and music community. Bluegrass jams or professional violinist duets? Yep, we got ‘em both. It’s tough to find that small town feel with so many amenities and Mammoth has it all!

• But that’s not it! There are just too many amazing outdoor features to list. Mammoth Hospital gives employees the work life BALANCE they need to enjoy where they live. Come work at Mammoth Hospital and make this amazing place your home so you can begin exploring!
