Additional Notes from Owner/Manager:
We are growing team of OTs, SLPs, and a part-tim
New Grads: Yes, a new grad with strong confidence e PT that serve our community. We primarily see pediatric patients and value play-based, neuro-affirming approaches. We are therapists owned and operated, placing the needs of therapists and their patients at the core of what we do.Our town is growing, and so are our waitlists.
Housing should be rather easy to secure in DeRidder through apartments or housing. We are approximately 20 minutes from Fort Polk and have a large military population. Nearby we Leesville, Rosepine, and Ragley that may also offer nice housing selections. Our clinic is located in our charming downtown and shares a wall with one of our local coffee shops. We have a wonderful view of the historic jail house and are less than a block away from our library.
Our community is small but showing economic growth. Its very common for military families to live in DeRidder during their time at Ft Polk, and even more common for them to retire here. Newcomers enjoy the proximity to Toledo Bend and Bundicks Lake, as well as access to Lake Charles and Lafayette.

About Triage Staffing

At Triage, we prefer to be real . Real about expectations—both ours and yours. Real about how a decision you make today could affect your tomorrows. Real about how compensation actually works. Real about how great—or grating—your next supervisor may be.

Being real allows everyone at Triage to be ready . Ready to serve you with real honesty. So if that gig near the ocean is really no day at the beach, or that third shift comes with a second-class rate, we tell you. So you can be ready, too.

- Competitive, custom pay packages

- A clinical liaison team available 24/7 to offer medical and professional support and career development

- A mentoring program that is run and managed by actual clinicians—yeah, you read that right

- And more (because of course there’s more)

Are we the biggest? No. Are we the best? That’s rather subjective, but we’re trying to be. Will we work like hell to get you as close to your idea of heaven as possible? Yes. Yes, we will.
