Embark on a dynamic journey as a traveling Physical Therapist in Maine, Waterville, where your expertise in physical rehabilitation will empower patients to reclaim mobility, independence, and confidence. This multi-week assignment places you at the heart of a dedicated clinical team, focused on delivering evidence-based therapy that accelerates recovery across a spectrum of conditions—from postoperative rehab and musculoskeletal strains to neurological and vestibular challenges. As you apply precise assessments, tailor individualized treatment plans, and guide patients through manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and gait training, you’ll witness firsthand the transformative impact of skilled physical therapy. Beyond the clinic, the opportunity to live and work in Maine invites you to explore the state’s natural beauty—lush river valleys, rolling farmland, rugged coastline, and vibrant seasons that invite outdoor exploration. Waterville blends a welcoming small-town atmosphere with cultural amenities, colleges, and thriving local eateries, creating an environment where professional focus and personal well-being can thrive side by side.
Location benefits extend beyond Waterville to the wider Maine landscape and the broader United States travel network. In Waterville, you’ll enjoy affordable housing options, easy access to outdoor recreation such as hiking, skiing, and scenic drives, plus a supportive community that values work-life balance. When you crave variety, this role also offers opportunities to work at different sites across the U.S., expanding your professional horizon, exposing you to diverse patient populations, care settings, and collaborative practice models. Experience the flexibility to align your assignments with your professional interests—whether you want intensive rehab settings, outpatient clinics with a broad patient mix, or integrated care teams that emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration. The exposure to varied clinical challenges will sharpen clinical judgment, enhance adaptability, and broaden your proficiency in the latest therapeutic modalities, all while maintaining the continuity of excellent patient care.
In this Physical Therapist role, you’ll own a comprehensive set of responsibilities designed to broaden your professional scope and deepen your clinical impact. You’ll conduct thorough evaluations and reassessments, interpret objective measures to refine treatment plans, and implement evidenced-based interventions including manual therapy, therapeutic exercise progression, neurodevelopmental approaches where appropriate, gait and balance retraining, and modalities that support healing and pain reduction. You’ll document patient progress accurately, communicate clearly with physicians, nurses, and family members, and contribute to discharge planning to ensure sustained function after you depart. The assignment emphasizes professional growth within the physical therapy specialty, offering exposure to diverse caseloads, opportunities to mentor junior staff, and collaboration with dynamic multidisciplinary teams. Competitive benefits accompany this role, featuring a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities that enable you to extend or tailor your assignment based on clinical interest and personal needs. You’ll enjoy competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,320 to $2,434, with guaranteed hours of 35 per week, ensuring reliable income while you provide high-quality care. In addition, you’ll have access to comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from the company’s travel support team to address clinical, logistical, and personal needs during your assignment. Please note: the hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
Our company values empower you as a clinician and as a professional. We are committed to fostering career advancement and creating a supportive work environment where your expertise is recognized, your learning is encouraged, and your voice is heard. You’ll join a network of like-minded therapists who share best practices, pursue continuing education, and contribute to a culture that prioritizes patient outcomes, ethical care, and work satisfaction. Whether you’re seeking to deepen your specialization in orthopedic, neurological, or pediatric rehab, or you’re exploring broader rehabilitation pathways, you’ll find a nurturing platform that aligns with your goals and your passion for helping others regain independence.
If you’re ready to embrace a role that honors your skill, rewards your dedication, and expands your professional footprint, this is your moment. Apply to join a company that values your contribution and prioritizes your growth as a physical therapy professional. Your start date is December 15, 2025, and the opportunity awaits to craft a rewarding, impactful career while exploring Maine’s beauty and the diverse landscapes across the country.
