Travel Physical Therapist Job

Embark on a rewarding journey as a Physical Therapist in Florence, Alabama, delivering compassionate patient care within the Physical Therapy specialty. This opportunity invites you to leverage your clinical expertise to assess movement limitations, develop and implement evidence-based rehabilitation plans, and guide patients toward meaningful milestones. Imagine the impact you can have as you help individuals restore independence, regain confidence in daily activities, and return to work, school, or beloved hobbies. Florence sits in the beautiful northwest corner of Alabama along the Tennessee River, a region rich in history, music, and community spirit. From shaded riverside trails to nearby state parks and the scenic hills of the Cumberland Plateau, Alabama offers vibrant towns, welcoming neighborhoods, and natural beauty that complements your professional journey. The state’s diverse landscapes and welcoming communities create an inspiring backdrop for a clinical career focused on real-world outcomes and patient empowerment.

Beyond the charm of Florence, this role is designed for travel-ready therapists who appreciate the opportunity to work across diverse locations in the U.S. You’ll gain exposure to multiple clinical settings—outpatient clinics, acute care units, skilled nursing facilities, early-intervention programs, and specialty rehabilitation environments—building a versatile portfolio of skills and a broad understanding of patient needs. This mobility fosters professional growth, broad professional networks, and the chance to experience cultural and regional differences in patient populations. It’s a pathway to sharpen your assessment capabilities, expand your therapeutic repertoire, and refine your communication with multidisciplinary teams while you enjoy the variety and adventure that travel assignments provide.

Role specifics and benefits: As a Travel Physical Therapist, your core responsibilities will include comprehensive patient evaluation, precise goal setting, and the design and implementation of individualized treatment plans. You’ll deliver therapeutic interventions—from evidence-based therapeutic exercise and manual therapy to modalities and patient education—tracking progress through regular re-evaluation and documentation in electronic health records. Collaboration with physicians, nurses, and other therapists will ensure coordinated care and timely discharge planning. The position also presents opportunities for professional growth within the Physical Therapy specialty, with pathways into advanced manual therapy techniques, neurological rehabilitation, vestibular rehabilitation, geriatrics, or specialty clinics depending on your interests and the needs of each assignment. In addition to competitive pay, the program includes a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to simplify temporary relocation, and opportunities to extend the assignment if you wish to continue contributing to patient care in longer engagements. You’ll enjoy guaranteed weekly hours of 35.0, with a competitive weekly pay range of $1,890 to $1,981, reflecting your experience and credentials. A 24/7 dedicated travel-support team stands ready to assist you with scheduling, on-site concerns, transportation coordination, and emergency guidance, ensuring you feel secure and supported as you travel between assignments. You’ll also benefit from ongoing access to clinical resources, orientation programs, and a robust safety framework designed to protect both you and your patients, as you adapt to new facilities and communities.

Company values: The organization is deeply committed to empowering its staff through mentorship, continuous professional development, and transparent career pathways. We cultivate a supportive work environment that honors your expertise, welcomes your ideas, and recognizes your contributions as essential to delivering exceptional patient outcomes. Whether you are at the start of your PT career or an experienced clinician seeking new challenges, you’ll discover opportunities to advance—from lead clinician roles to specialized certifications, involvement in regional clinical initiatives, and collaboration with senior clinical leadership to shape best practices across assignments.
