Mid Level
Step into a transformative Travel Physical Therapy Assistant role in Missouri, Ballwin, where compassionate care meets professional growth and every patient interaction becomes an opportunity to restore independence and confidence. This is your invitation to apply specialized expertise in physical therapy assistance within a dynamic travel program designed to stretch your skills, amplify your impact, and expand your professional network. Ballwin and the greater Missouri region offer a welcoming backdrop for clinicians who value patient-centered outcomes, collaborative teamwork, and continuous learning. As you prepare to start on 03/16/2026, you’ll join a program that values your dedication and rewards your resilience with meaningful opportunities to learn, mentor, and advance. You’ll experience the pride of helping patients regain mobility while enjoying Missouri’s diverse landscapes—from tranquil parks and scenic byways to vibrant urban communities and cultural attractions—creating a work journey that nourishes both professional and personal growth. And if you’re drawn to broader horizons, the role provides pathways to work at additional locations across the United States, enriching your practice with varied patient populations, settings, and clinical challenges.
Ballwin sits in a thriving suburban corridor near St. Louis, offering a balanced lifestyle that blends convenient access to urban amenities with a comfortable, community-focused atmosphere. In this role, you’ll benefit from working close to a network of clinics and rehabilitation facilities that are committed to evidence-based practice, collaborative care, and patient engagement. Missouri’s natural beauty—its rivers, state parks, and unique regional communities—provides exceptional opportunities to unwind after shifts and to bring renewed energy into your patient sessions. The flexibility to extend your contract and rotate through multiple facilities means you’ll gain exposure to a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal, neurological, and post-acute conditions, sharpening your assessment skills and broadening your therapeutic toolset. Whether you prefer a steady routine in Ballwin or occasional rotations across other sites, you’ll have opportunities to tailor your assignments to your professional interests and growth goals.
In this role, you will support physical therapy teams by implementing treatment plans under the supervision of licensed therapists, guiding patients through therapeutic exercises, gait training, functional activities, and modalities designed to restore strength, mobility, and independence. You’ll document progress, modify interventions as needed, and communicate patient responses to the supervising therapist and care team. Your responsibilities include patient education, safety coaching, equipment setup, and ensuring sessions are patient-centered, efficient, and compliant with practice standards. You’ll have the platform to deepen your proficiency in orthopedic, geriatric, and neurological rehabilitation, while also expanding skills in assessment, outcome measurement, and patient motivation strategies. The position style is purpose-driven and multi-site by design, offering the chance to build a robust portfolio of care experiences that demonstrate adaptable clinical judgment and a commitment to best practices. The role supports professional growth through ongoing education, mentorship, and exposure to a variety of case types, with opportunities to pursue specialization tracks within the broader physical therapy spectrum.
Compensation and benefits are structured to reflect the value you bring to the team. Expect competitive weekly pay in the range of $1,380 to $1,472, with the stability and rhythm of a scheduled multi-week assignment that respects your time and expertise. In addition to competitive compensation, the program offers a signing bonus, housing assistance to help you secure comfortable accommodations, and extension opportunities that align with your career plans and clinician interests. You’ll also benefit from comprehensive support that accompanies you wherever you go: 24/7 support while traveling with the company ensures you have ready access to guidance, resources, and problem-solving assistance, whether you’re on-site with a patient, between assignments, or transitioning between facilities. The combination of financial incentives, housing support, extension options, and round-the-clock assistance is designed to make your travel experience as smooth and rewarding as possible, allowing you to focus on delivering high-quality patient care.
Company values center on empowerment, growth, and a supportive culture that prioritizes your development as a clinician. The organization is committed to helping you advance in your career through diverse clinical experiences, ongoing learning opportunities, constructive feedback, and a collaborative community of healthcare professionals. You’ll be part of a mission-driven environment that recognizes your contributions, honors your expertise, and provides the resources you need to evolve—from onboarding through ongoing mentorship to leadership-friendly pathways. The environment emphasizes open communication, colleagues who celebrate teamwork, and a shared dedication to improving patient outcomes and well-being. Whether you’re early in your PTA career or seeking to broaden your clinical scope, the program is designed to accelerate your trajectory while maintaining a healthy, supportive work-life balance.
