Genesis - West Region - Silver City Care Center
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Physical Therapist with our travel program, delivering patient-centered care across diverse clinical settings while advancing your expertise in rehabilitation. This is your opportunity to shape outcomes, restore mobility, and inspire confidence in patients who depend on thoughtful, evidence-based therapy. As you bring skilled, compassionate care to communities in need, you’ll also experience the freedom to explore a region known for its expansive skies, year-round outdoor adventures, and the welcoming warmth of neighbors who value resilience and well-being. In this role, your impact will be felt not only in the clinic but in the everyday lives of those you help reclaim independence and function. The road ahead is one of professional growth, meaningful connections, and the satisfaction that comes from every patient milestone achieved under your guidance.
New Mexico’s sunlit vistas and rich cultural tapestry set the backdrop for your assignment in Silver City, a jewel of the southwest where history and nature intertwine. The town offers a vibrant arts scene, friendly communities, and access to outdoor recreation that invites hikers, climbers, and enthusiasts to enjoy the nearby Gila National Forest, the Silver City Museum, and scenic byways that reveal dramatic desert landscapes and mountain views. Separate from the day-to-day, you’ll have opportunities to explore other corners of the United States through our broader travel program, experiencing a spectrum of clinical environments while enriching your professional adaptability and network.
Location Benefits: You’ll start in Silver City, a supportive base with all the amenities you need to thrive professionally and personally. The assignment includes the chance to travel to a variety of sites across the U.S., expanding your clinical exposure—from community hospitals and outpatient clinics to skilled nursing and rehab facilities. You’ll benefit from a stable, predictable schedule with guaranteed hours, allowing you to plan personal time for outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, and rest. This blend of focused clinical work and the freedom to explore makes the role uniquely rewarding. You’ll gain exposure to diverse patient populations, enabling you to refine assessment tools, tailor interventions, and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to optimize outcomes. While you’re on assignment, you’ll receive comprehensive support designed to keep you confident and connected, no matter where your next stop is.

- Evaluate patients’ functional abilities, develop individualized treatment plans, implement evidence-based interventions, and monitor progress toward goals across orthopaedic and neurological presentations.

- Collaborate with PT aides, nurses, physicians, and case managers to ensure seamless transitions of care and continuity across sites.
- Lead patient and caregiver education on home exercise programs, safety strategies, and strategies for long-term self-management to sustain gains after discharge.
- Seek professional growth through mentorship, specialty certifications, and exposure to diverse case mixes that strengthen your skill set.
Compensation and perks:
- Competitive weekly pay in the range of $2,243-$2,439, with a guaranteed 36.0 hours per week.
- A start date of 01/26/2026, for a flexible assignment length measured in weeks, with opportunities for extension based on performance and site needs.
- A bonus structure designed to recognize exceptional contributions and consistent, high-quality care.
- Housing assistance or housing stipends to ease logistics and help you settle quickly in new locations.
- Extension opportunities to continue growing your career with continued support and more complex cases if you choose to extend your assignment.
- 24/7 support from a dedicated travel program team, ensuring you have access to assistance, guidance, and resources wherever your travels take you.
