Powerback - Contract Starkville Manor Health Care and Rehabilitation Center
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic Travel Physical Therapist opportunity in Starkville, Mississippi, beginning 03/09/2026, where your clinical expertise and patient-centered approach will drive meaningful outcomes across diverse rehabilitation settings. This role invites you to apply evidence-based PT practices to restore function, reduce pain, and empower patients to reclaim independence in daily life, while you explore a welcoming Southern community and grow your professional footprint within a nationwide network. Mississippi’s rich culture, valued as much for its genuine hospitality as for its natural beauty, provides a backdrop that nourishes both professional focus and personal well-being.
Mississippi’s beauty unfolds in every direction—scenic byways along the Natchez Trace Parkway, vibrant river towns along the Pearl and Mississippi rivers, lush landscapes that transition from forested hills to expansive wetlands, and the coastline where sunsets meet the shimmering Gulf. In Starkville, you’ll experience a thriving college-town atmosphere anchored by Mississippi State University, with lively dining, arts, and outdoor recreation. The state’s slower pace invites reflection after a day of impactful clinical work, while the opportunity to collaborate with a broad network of facilities keeps your professional horizon wide. The role also offers the chance to work in various locations across the U.S., delivering you exposure to different patient populations, facility cultures, and care models—all designed to sharpen your clinical judgment and expand your professional versatility.
Location Benefits: Working in Starkville blends the best of a tight-knit community with access to the broader healthcare ecosystem that supports traveling clinicians. You’ll enjoy a stable, friendly environment where colleagues know you by name, yet you’ll also benefit from the security and breadth of a nationwide platform that places you in high-need settings—from hospital-based units to outpatient clinics and inpatient rehab units. The arrangement provides the flexibility to tour different states through the company’s extensive network, while safeguarding the consistency you require with guaranteed hours and weekly pay. Starkville’s quality of life, paired with educational and cultural amenities, creates a refreshing balance between demanding clinical work and personal renewal, making it easier to sustain peak performance week after week. You’ll receive housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary stays, a sign-on style of bonus to recognize your expertise, and the potential for contract extensions that reward your commitment and consistency. The weekly pay range of $2,382 to $2,577 reflects competitive compensation for your specialized skill set, and a guaranteed 35 hours per week ensures reliable planning for you and your family. The assignment aligns with your Start Date of 03/09/2026 and can be extended to suit departmental needs and your career goals, providing a steady rhythm of professional challenge and personal stability.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Physical Therapist in this travel assignment, you’ll assess patients, develop and implement individualized treatment plans, and guide activity progression with the aim of restoring mobility, balance, and functional independence. Your responsibilities will include gait training, edema management, neuro-muscular re-education, ROM optimization, strength-building, and adaptive technique coaching for daily activities. You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to coordinate care, document progress, and adjust interventions in response to patient response and discharge plans. The role supports ongoing professional growth through access to clinical mentorship, continuing education, and opportunities to specialize within pediatric, geriatric, orthopedic, or neurological tracks as openings arise. You’ll be part of a system that emphasizes safe, evidence-based practice and compassionate care, with robust resources to ensure your success on every assignment. In addition to the competitive weekly pay, you’ll enjoy a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend your contract beyond initial terms. You’ll receive comprehensive, 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team—assistance available around the clock as you move between assignments and navigate any travel-related needs—so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care without administrative distraction. The guaranteed 35 hours per week offers predictability in your schedule, while the overall assignment duration—measured in weeks—provides flexibility to explore new settings, facilities, and communities while continuing to advance your clinical craft.
Company Values: Our organization is grounded in empowering clinicians to advance their careers within a supportive, stable environment.
