Mid Level
Step into a rewarding path as a Travel Physical Therapist in Maine, Waterville, where your clinical expertise can transform lives across diverse patient populations. This dedicated assignment starts on December 15, 2025, and is structured as a multi-week journey designed to maximize your impact while honoring your need for stability and growth. You’ll join a purpose-driven team that respects your judgment, your hands-on skill, and your commitment to helping people regain mobility, independence, and confidence. While you deliver exceptional care in Waterville, you’ll also have the exciting possibility of collaborating with colleagues across the United States, gaining exposure to a spectrum of settings—from bustling facilities in metropolitan hubs to intimate clinics in scenic rural towns. This is more than a contract; it’s an opportunity to refine your craft, expand your professional network, and bring meaningful change to patients and communities alike.
Waterville, Maine, blends small-town charm with accessible outdoor adventure and a rich cultural scene. Here you’ll enjoy a welcoming community atmosphere, the beauty of Maine’s seasons, and the chance to explore nearby natural treasures—from waterfront strolls along the Kennebec River to hiking and fall foliage adventures in the foothills of the eastern plains. Maine’s approachable pace encourages thoughtful, patient-centered care, while Waterville’s local amenities support a balanced lifestyle. For professionals who appreciate proximity to coastal escapes, mountains, and vibrant college-town energy, this location offers a unique blend of solace and stimulation. And for those who relish broader horizons, opportunities to work in other states while maintaining a defined contract can provide the best of both worlds: deep community integration and exposure to diverse clinical practices.
Role specifics and benefits center on your expertise, your growth trajectory, and the comprehensive support you’ll receive. As a Travel Physical Therapist, you’ll assess patients with varied orthopedic, neurological, and musculoskeletal needs, develop evidence-based treatment plans, implement interventions such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, gait training, and functional rehabilitation, and monitor progress through measurable outcomes. You’ll collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, and other therapists to coordinate care that honors patient goals and discharge plans. Document meticulously, communicate effectively with interdisciplinary teams, and adapt to evolving patient needs in different clinical environments. The role offers meaningful professional growth—from refining advanced manual techniques to expanding your repertoire in telehealth follow-ups and outcome measures. You’ll have access to ongoing education opportunities, mentorship from seasoned clinicians, and the chance to broaden your clinical leadership skills as you contribute to program development and quality improvement initiatives.
We offer competitive benefits designed to recognize your expertise and reward your dedication. In addition to a weekly pay range of $2,322 to $2,479, you’ll find supportive financial and logistical incentives that reflect the value you bring to the team. A sign-on bonus acknowledges your decision to join and contribute from day one, while housing assistance helps ease relocation and temporary housing logistics during the assignment. There are extension opportunities that allow you to build continuity with partners you trust and to deepen your impact within the network—an important consideration for professionals who value consistency amid new clinical experiences. Throughout your journey, you’ll have access to 24/7 support from the traveling company, ensuring that you’re never navigating challenges alone, whether you’re coordinating travel, securing housing, aligning schedules, or addressing clinical questions on the go. The combination of guaranteed hours—36 per week—and a structured assignment framework provides predictable workload, consistent compensation, and the ability to plan your personal time with confidence.
Our company is grounded in values that empower staff, champion career advancement, and foster a supportive, collaborative environment. We celebrate the expertise you bring, encourage ongoing learning, and promote a culture that prioritizes patient outcomes alongside practitioner well-being. You’ll join a network of like-minded professionals who believe that meaningful development comes from mentoring, exposure to varied clinical settings, and a workplace that respects your life outside work. We’re committed to creating pathways for advancement, recognizing achievements, and ensuring your voice helps shape program improvements, clinical protocols, and patient care standards. The emphasis is on sustainable growth, respectful teamwork, and a climate where aspiration meets opportunity.
