Nealy Pierce, LLC, California, MO, United States


Why This Opportunity Stands Out Join an

Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital

backed by the

largest rehabilitation health system in the United States , where clinical excellence, leadership development, and patient outcomes are the standard—not the exception.

This hospital specializes in

Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Spinal Cord Injury, Polytrauma, and other complex diagnoses , providing an environment that is both clinically challenging and deeply rewarding. You will lead a highly collaborative team of

over 20 full-time therapists,

including Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech‑Language Pathologists, all recognized for their professionalism, energy, and commitment to delivering exceptional care.

Leadership support is exceptional. You will receive

mentorship from a Regional Director

with over 20 years of experience, along with a

structured one‑year preceptorship

alongside a dedicated partner and an experienced Director of Therapy. Support extends beyond the facility, with strong

local and national resources

ensuring you are never operating in isolation.

This program consistently achieves an 80–90% return‑to‑home rate, significantly outperforming the national average of 67%, which reflects the quality of care and teamwork within the organization. The role offers a

stable schedule and work environment , allowing you to focus on leadership, outcomes, and professional growth.

Compensation and benefits include:

Competitive base salary based on experience

$10,000 sign‑on bonus

$10,000 relocation assistance

$3,000/yr Loan Repayment program

Comprehensive insurance benefits, 401(k) match, paid time off, and more

Position Overview: Director of Rehabilitation This is a

Inpatient Rehabilitation setting —one of the most demanding and fulfilling environments in healthcare. In inpatient rehab, therapy is truly at the heart of patient recovery. Your team will work with individuals at some of the most critical moments of their lives, guiding them through a

3–4 week stay

and witnessing meaningful, often dramatic improvements as patients regain independence and return home.

Patient populations include

Orthopedic and Neurological

cases, with therapists typically treating

4–6 patients per day . Success in this role requires more than clinical expertise—it requires the mindset of a

servant leader

career opportunity

where they can invest in people, outcomes, and a mission‑driven organization.
