• Active AL license as a PT, OT, SLP, COTA, PTA
• 2-3+ years of rehab leadership experience, LTC/SNF strongly preferred
• Strong knowledge of Medicare/Medicaid rehab regulations and documentation standards
• A leadership style rooted in respect, consistency, and heart
• The ability to stay calm and clear-headed when things get hard, because in this work, they will

What You’ll Find Here
