Quick Answer
Transmountain Therapy is hiring a Physical Therapist (PT) in Las Cruces, NM as the lead clinician for our growing Southern New Mexico home health operations. Rates are $75 to $85 per visit — an urgency premium for this top-priority lead role. The PRN schedule is fully flexible — anywhere from 5 to 20+ visits per week. You'll evaluate patients, write plans of care, supervise our capable PTA team, and document in the EMR. Application-to-first-visit timeline: 3-7 business days for New Mexico-licensed PTs. New Mexico is not issuing PT Compact privileges, so you need a New Mexico PT license to treat patients here; Texas-only PTs can start with our El Paso PT work while they get licensed. Bilingual Spanish/English a plus. New grads welcome with mentorship.
The Role
This is a real clinical autonomy role. You own the evaluations, you set the plans of care, you supervise a PTA team that's already in place — and you set your caseload size to fit the kind of work you want. The market is growing, the agency contracts are active, and the work is genuinely meaningful. Las Cruces patient demand is consistent and the operational support is already built.
NM Licensure
New Mexico is not issuing PT Compact privileges, so a Texas license alone doesn't allow you to treat patients in New Mexico. If you're Texas-licensed, we can still get you working while you apply.
Where you'll work
Las Cruces is the priority zone — most active patient volume is there. We also cover the broader Southern NM border region. You set your zone preferences.
