You will evaluate, treat, and coach patients through evidence-based rehabilitation strategies, guiding them from impairment toward independence.

Maine’s Natural Beauty
Beyond the clinic walls, Maine unfolds as a serene backdrop for professional growth and personal renewal. The Waterville region blends small-town warmth with access to scenic rivers, forests, and outdoor adventures. In your downtime, you’ll discover autumnal splendor along winding back roads, tranquil lakes perfect for kayaking or fishing, and nearby trails that invite you to reenergize after demanding clinical days. Maine’s unique blend of coastal charm a short drive away, year-round recreational opportunities, and a welcoming community makes every assignment feel like a rejuvenating escape as you maintain peak performance in your clinical practice.
Location Benefits
Waterville offers a compelling blend of community engagement, affordable living, and proximity to a network of clinics and hospitals that value collaborative care. You’ll enjoy a manageable commute, supportive colleagues, and access to resources that enhance patient outcomes. The opportunity to rotate through diverse settings—ranging from inpatient units to outpatient rehabilitation—allows you to broaden your professional scope while staying grounded in high-quality care standards. For clinicians who relish exposure to varied case mixes, this assignment delivers breadth and consistency in a single location. If you’re open to experiencing different parts of the country over time, this role also provides the flexibility to explore multiple sites across the United States while maintaining a core commitment to exceptional patient care. You’ll be part of a team that prioritizes safety, communication, and continuous improvement, all within a region renowned for its welcoming spirit and active, family-friendly communities.
Role Specifics and Benefits
As a Travel Physical Therapist in this assignment, you’ll take ownership of core responsibilities that span the continuum of care: conducting comprehensive initial evaluations, reassessing progress, and revising individualized treatment plans grounded in evidence-based practice; implementing therapeutic modalities, manual techniques, neuro-musculoskeletal interventions, gait training, balance and core stabilization; designing and supervising home exercise programs; collaborating with physicians, nurses, and other therapists to optimize outcomes; ensuring accurate documentation, billing fidelity, and compliance with regulatory standards; and educating patients and families to reinforce recovery outside the clinical setting. You’ll have abundant opportunities for professional growth, including exposure to a broad spectrum of diagnoses, patient populations, and functional goals. The role also emphasizes skill diversification—from orthopedics and post-surgical rehab to neuromuscular rehab—helping you advance as a versatile PT with enhanced clinical judgment.
Competitive Benefits include a signing bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities should you choose to stay longer or transition to another assignment within the company. With guaranteed 36.0 hours per week, you’ll enjoy predictable scheduling and a stable income, reinforced by a competitive weekly pay range of 2,330–2,488 dollars. You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated field team, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never alone on the road. A robust onboarding process, continuous clinical mentorship, and access to continuing education resources further underscore the commitment to your growth and well-being as you advance along your professional path.
