Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center - Aya
Mid Level
Step into a dynamic Travel Physical Therapist role that blends clinical distinction with the unmatched beauty and spirit of Kodiak, Alaska. This opportunity is designed for a dedicated professional who believes in the power of thoughtful, evidence-based care to transform lives across diverse settings. As you bring your expertise in movement, function, and pain management to bear for patients of all ages, you’ll envision the lasting impact you can have—from restoring independence to helping families reclaim moments of everyday joy. Kodiak’s rugged coastline, sweeping horizons, and abundant wildlife provide not only a dramatic backdrop for your day-to-day work but also a reminder that healing happens best when you feel inspired by your surroundings. Beyond the immediate mission, you’ll discover the chance to carry that same spirit to other beautiful corners of Alaska and across the United States, enriching your skills while embracing new communities and cultures.
Location benefits that extend far beyond the clinic walls are a cornerstone of this journey. In Kodiak, you’ll experience a community where fishing boats cut through the fog, where sea air carries a hint of the ocean’s brine, and where daylight in the summer grants extended opportunities for exploration after your shift. You’ll be immersed in a locale famous for its scenic beauty, wildlife viewing, and a welcoming network of patients who value thoughtful, patient-centered care. The broader travel nature of the role opens doors to a spectrum of experiences—from outpatient clinics and inpatient rehab units to home-health settings in remote or coastal towns—allowing you to broaden your clinical repertoire while savoring the distinctive charm of each destination. And if you ever desire to broaden your horizons beyond Kodiak, there’s the option to work across other locations in the U.S., with the support to adapt your practice to varied patient populations and care environments, all while maintaining the standard of excellence you bring to every session.
Role specifics and benefits are crafted to support professional growth and day-to-day excellence. As a Physical Therapist on this travel assignment, you’ll conduct comprehensive evaluations, develop individualized plans of care, and guide patients through therapeutic exercises, mobility training, gait and balance activities, and manual therapy techniques designed to reduce pain and improve function. You’ll document progress with precision, adjust treatment plans in collaboration with physicians and the broader care team, educate patients and families about home programs, and monitor outcomes to ensure meaningful improvements. The role offers significant opportunities to expand your clinical leadership—mentoring assistants, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, and refining your ability to design flexible, client-centered interventions that adapt to changing settings and caseloads. You’ll have access to a robust support network that includes 24/7 assistance from travel coordinators, clinical leads, and back-office staff, ensuring you’re never alone on a move between assignments. Competitive compensation recognizes the specialized skill set you bring, with weekly pay ranging from $1,953 to $2,098. Housing assistance is provided to help ease transitions, and we offer extension opportunities that allow you to deepen your impact in facilities you’re most drawn to. While guaranteed hours are not fixed in this travel model, you’ll benefit from clear expectations and reliable scheduling options designed to maximize your clinical time and personal well-being.
The company’s values focus on empowering staff and fostering a supportive, growth-oriented environment. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes career advancement, continuous learning, and mentorship, with programs that help you expand your expertise in physical therapy across neurologic, orthopedic, and geriatric domains. The commitment to your development is matched by a genuine care for your well-being, including resources that support work-life balance, safety, and professional fulfillment. Expect transparent communication, collaborative problem-solving, and a work setting in which your contributions are recognized and your ideas valued. The organization prides itself on cultivating a positive, inclusive atmosphere where clinicians can pursue advanced certifications, take on leadership roles, and shape the future of travel therapy through ongoing collaboration and feedback.
If you’re ready to redefine your career while delivering exceptional care in a place you’ll never forget, this is your invitation to apply. This role is more than a position; it’s a pathway to meaningful patient impact, enriched by the adventure of travel and the security of comprehensive support. Start date is 01/26/2026, with a flexible duration that respects your preferred balance between professional engagement and personal time, and the potential for extensions that deepen your contributions to the communities you serve. Join a company that values your expertise, supports your growth, and stands beside you every mile of the way as you shape the next chapter of your physical therapy career.
