Location Benefits
Saint Louis blends iconic history with a modern, welcoming atmosphere.

Working here means access to top-tier hospitals, outpatient clinics, and rehabilitation programs that emphasize evidence-based practice and collaborative care.

Role Specifics and Benefits

You’ll monitor progress, document outcomes, and communicate effectively with patients, families, and the care team. In the travel setting, you’ll quickly integrate into diverse clinical environments, adapt to varying equipment and modalities, and contribute to discharge planning and patient education. This position supports robust professional growth: you can gain exposure to orthopedics, neuro-rehab, geriatrics, pediatrics, and inpatient or outpatient workflows, depending on site needs. You’ll have access to continuing education opportunities, mentorship from seasoned therapists, and structured feedback to help you advance. The role also emphasizes competitive compensation and benefits, including a potential sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities to deepen expertise in preferred specialties or settings.
