Contracted
Valley View Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic journey as a Travel Physical Therapist, leveraging your expertise to restore mobility, independence, and confidence for patients across diverse clinical settings. In this specialty, your hands-on care, evidence-based strategies, and patient education will help individuals reclaim function and quality of life, often after surgery, injury, or chronic conditions. Begin this impactful chapter on February 3, 2026, with assignments that run for a number of weeks, offering the flexibility you desire while guaranteeing 38 hours of work each week. You’ll enjoy a competitive weekly compensation of $2,135 to $2,297, reflecting the value you bring to interdisciplinary teams. This role is more than travel—it’s a platform to expand your clinical repertoire, collaborate with seasoned professionals, and advance toward greater autonomy and expertise within physical therapy. As you move between facilities and patient populations, you’ll cultivate resilience, adaptability, and a proven ability to deliver patient-centered outcomes in real-world settings.
Glenwood Springs, Colorado, is your home base for this journey, a tapestry of outdoor beauty and warm community spirit. Picture mornings in the foothills framed by the Rocky Mountains, afternoons soaking in natural hot springs, and evenings spent on scenic trails with colleagues or family. Glenwood Springs offers a thriving outdoor culture, access to world-class hiking, biking, and rafting, plus a bustling downtown with shops, dining, and cultural events. Working here means you’ll experience balance between meaningful clinical work and the chance to recharge in a landscape that invites exploration. Beyond Glenwood Springs, the role also opens doorways to assignments at other locations across the United States, providing a breadth of experiences that enhance your clinical adaptability and professional network. Whether you’re drawn to mountain-town serenity or the vibrancy of a neighboring community for a weekend excursion, you’ll find opportunities that align with your interests and career goals.
Role specifics and benefits: As a Travel Physical Therapist, you will assess patients, interpret results, and design individualized treatment plans that align with functional goals and discharge timelines. You’ll implement therapeutic interventions across a range of settings—acute care, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing, and rehab services—tailoring approaches to orthopedic, neurological, pediatric, geriatric, or cardiopulmonary needs as dictated by the assignment. Your responsibilities include documenting progress, adjusting plans based on objective measures, coordinating with physicians and care teams, and providing patient and family education to support at-home continuity of care. The position emphasizes ongoing professional growth through exposure to varied case mixes, mentorship from experienced clinicians, and opportunities to refine advanced techniques within physical therapy. You’ll find ample chances to broaden your expertise, pursue relevant certifications, and contribute to evidence-based practice across multiple facilities.
In addition to clinical duties, you’ll receive comprehensive support designed to keep you focused on patient care. Our package includes a signing bonus and other competitive benefits, plus housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs. You’ll have the option for extension opportunities at existing or new sites, allowing you to build a longer trajectory within the same organization or explore fresh locales. You’ll never travel alone—the company provides 24/7 support for traveling clinicians, a dedicated travel concierge to streamline scheduling, credentialing, and facility onboarding, and access to resources that simplify licensing, continuing education, and professional documentation. A robust network of peer and leadership support ensures you’re empowered to navigate transitions smoothly while maintaining high clinical standards.
Company values: Our organization is built on empowering therapists to grow while delivering exceptional patient care. We cultivate a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and respect for diverse clinical perspectives.
