Job description

Founded in 1997, STAR Physical Therapy has grown from a single clinic to over 70 locations across Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri. Our mission remains unchanged: To Serve. While we have grown, one thing that has not changed is our commitment to our patients, communities, and employees.

We are committed to:

• Delivering industry-leading physical therapy, sports medicine, and industrial rehabilitation care
• Developing "Great Mechanics Of The Human Body" through our top-notch clinical education program
• Supporting clinicians with comprehensive mentorship and professional development opportunities

Our Mission:

At STAR Physical Therapy, we exist to serve. We strive to make a difference in the health and well-being of our patients through clinical excellence and personalized care. Through servant leadership and intentional relationships, we commit to creating a family culture where we use our time, talents, and resources to care for our patients, our communities, and one another.

STAR Physical Therapy is seeking a motivated, detail-oriented, and forward-thinking individual to join our team as a Full-Time HR Coordinator supporting our Franklin, TN Business Office. We are looking for someone who not only thrives in administrative and coordination functions, but also has the desire to grow and develop within the Human Resources field.

This is a hybrid position that offers the ability to work remotely at least two days per week, with in-person work at our Franklin Business Office required for team meetings, new hire orientations, and other business needs as determined by the organization.

This role is ideal for someone seeking long-term professional growth in Human Resources, not simply an administrative position.

• Track candidate and new hire status within the Applicant Tracking System (ATS), HRIS platforms, and internal tracking spreadsheets
• Maintain and regularly update onboarding and recruiting spreadsheets that serve as operational dashboards to track candidates and new hires throughout various stages of the hiring and onboarding process
• Proactively follow up with candidates, new hires, hiring managers, and internal departments to ensure timely communication and completion of required steps
• Support hiring managers and business operations with onboarding coordination for clinic and corporate positions

Compliance & Process Execution

• Verify I-9 documentation and maintain accurate records in compliance with federal regulations and company policies
• Follow established HR processes, workflows, and compliance procedures with a high degree of consistency and accountability
