You.

You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as a Physical Therapist.

You know when to move quickly. When to sit quietly. When to laugh loudly.

You’re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.

Us.

St. James Healthcare is part of SCL Health, a faith-based, nonprofit healthcare organization that focuses on person-centered care. Our 98-bed hospital is the only full-service acute care facility in Butte, and we’re the largest hospital serving a seven-county area. Our mission is to bring health and hope to the poor, the vulnerable, our communities and each other.

Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind and social well-being. To that end, we’ve launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.

We.

Together we’ll align mission and careers, values and workplace. We’ll honor each other’s dignity and surpass the standards we set. We’ll encourage joy, demand safety and take pride in our integrity.

We’ll laugh at each other’s jokes (even the bad ones). We’ll hello and high five. We’ll celebrate milestones and acknowledge the value of spirituality in healing.

We’re proud of what we know, which includes how much there is to learn.

Your day.

As a PT you need to know how to:

• Develop and implement a treatment plan for infants, children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients, involving physical means, such as exercise, functional training, massage, modalities, hydrotherapy, wound care, and patient and family education.
• Apply diagnostic and prognostic muscle, nerve, joint, and functional ability tests.
• Direct and aid patients in active and passive exercises, muscle re-education, and gait and functional training utilizing pulleys and weights, steps, and inclined surfaces.

• Provide learner appropriate instruction in therapeutic procedures and processes to be continued by the patient. Adapt conventional physical therapy techniques to meet the needs of all patients. Identify, as necessary, care givers who will need education and can assist the patient as well.
• Evaluate, record, and report on each patient’s progress for review by other members of interdisciplinary team.
• Orient, instruct, and direct work activities of assistants, aides, and students.
• Conduct or participate in training medical and nursing personnel and other workers in physical therapy techniques and objectives.
