Travel Physical Therapist Job
Nestled in the heart of the Southwest, Albuquerque blends modern vitality with desert serenity. You’ll enjoy sunny days, access to the Sandia Mountains, the Rio Grande, historic Old Town, and a thriving arts and culinary scene. New Mexico’s landscapes offer inspiration after clinical days and weekend adventures with hiking, hot air balloons, and easily reachable day trips to volcanic parks and ancient pueblos. For a clinician who loves mobility and exploration, the role also presents the chance to work across multiple locations in the United States, expanding your clinical repertoire, professional network, and cultural fluency while staying anchored by a supportive travel program. Albuquerque’s unique blend of heritage and innovation creates a welcoming environment where professional growth and personal wellbeing go hand in hand.
Role specifics and benefits: In this position you will assess patients, establish and adjust individualized rehab plans, implement therapeutic interventions such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and equipment training, and monitor progress to optimize outcomes. You’ll document findings, communicate with physicians and interdisciplinary teams, and educate patients and families on home programs to support sustained gains. You’ll have opportunities for professional growth within the Physical Therapy specialty, including exposure to orthopedic, neurological, and geriatric rehab tracks and potential pathways into mentorship or lead roles as you gain experience. The compensation package is designed to recognize the value you bring, featuring a competitive weekly pay range of 2,206 to 2,302 dollars, plus a sign-on bonus and housing assistance to ease transition logistics. There are extension opportunities for continuing assignments, enabling you to deepen your expertise and build lasting professional relationships. You’ll also benefit from comprehensive support, including onboarding assistance, licensure and credentialing guidance, and ongoing education credits, all backed by a dedicated team. As you travel, you’ll never be alone: a 24/7 support line and a travel concierge are at your disposal to address shifts, housing needs, equipment, and local compliance matters, ensuring you can focus on patient care.
Our company values are built on empowering staff, fostering career advancement, and cultivating a collaborative, supportive work environment. Whether you’re charting new clinical skills or mentoring peers, you’ll find mentors who invest in your growth and leaders who value your voice. We believe great care begins with empowered clinicians, supported by transparent communication, reliable resources, and a culture of continuous learning. You’ll experience a workplace where teamwork, integrity, and innovation are more than words—they are practiced every day in the pursuit of exceptional patient outcomes.
