Travel Physical Therapist Job
Silver City, NM
Contracted
Genesis - West Region - Silver City Care Center
Mid Level
Step into a life‑changing Travel Physical Therapist role rooted in Silver City, New Mexico, where your clinical excellence and compassionate care will shape recovery, independence, and lasting well‑being for patients across diverse ages and diagnoses. This is your opportunity to apply evidence‑based practice in a setting that values autonomy and professional impact, while having a built‑in support system to help you thrive. You’ll bring mobility, function, and hope where it matters most, partnering with physicians, therapists, and families to design engaging, personalized rehabilitation plans. You’ll move through each day with purpose, guided by a culture that prizes growth, collaboration, and patient‑centered outcomes. And you’ll do it knowing you’re part of a nationwide program that respects your time, your expertise, and your best‑in‑class clinical judgment. Nestled in the high desert and surrounded by scenic horizons, this role also offers you the chance to experience the beauty of New Mexico in your downtime: from dramatic desert sunsets and the nearby Gila National Forest to the vibrant arts scenes of nearby towns, the region invites exploration, restoration, and a renewed sense of restore‑and‑go.
Location benefits extend beyond Silver City itself. Working here means enjoying a welcoming community with a rich blend of history, outdoor recreation, and modern amenities. You’ll have access to outdoor adventures—hiking, mountain biking, and exploring volcanic landscapes—paired with the conveniences of a town that is small enough to feel intimate yet offers big‑city resources nearby. The assignment provides the flexibility to engage in locations across the United States, letting you broaden your clinical perspective, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams nationwide, and bring your patient‑centered approach to a variety of clinical environments. Whether you’re continuing in a rural setting or rotating through more urban clinics, you’ll experience the differences in patient populations, facility workflows, and interprofessional teamwork that sharpen your expertise and expand your professional horizons. The support network around you makes this journey seamless, with clear onboarding, continuity in supervision when needed, and access to resources that streamline documentation, scheduling, and care transitions.
Role specifics and benefits: your primary responsibilities will include comprehensive evaluation and re‑evaluation of patients with musculoskeletal, neurological, and orthotic‑related needs; development and adjustment of individualized therapy plans; implementing manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercise programs, gait and balance training, and patient education that promotes self‑management. You’ll document progress in the electronic health record, coordinate with physicians and case managers, and participate in family conferences to ensure coherence in care goals. The role offers significant professional growth: opportunities to specialize further within the physical therapy spectrum, access to continuing education stipends, mentorship from experienced clinicians, and pathways for expanded responsibilities as you demonstrate impact and leadership. Competitive compensation features are designed to reward your expertise, including a sign‑on bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities for continued assignments based on performance and program needs. A key pillar of the experience is comprehensive, 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never alone in navigating clinical questions, travel logistics, or on‑site challenges. You’ll receive dedicated clinic onboarding, rapid access to clinical guidance, and a robust resource network to help you manage the realities of travel therapy while keeping your focus on delivering exceptional patient care. The guaranteed hours—36 per week—provide stability in every assignment, with weekly pay ranging from $2,402 to $2,528, reflecting your skills and the local market. Start date is February 23, 2026, with an initial term of several weeks and ample potential to extend based on performance, facility needs, and your professional goals. The contract structure supports continuity of care for patients and continuity of professional development for you, blending the best of travel opportunity with the reliability you seek.
Company values: we are committed to empowering our staff to advance their careers while maintaining a supportive, collaborative work environment. We believe in recognizing and nurturing talent, valuing open communication, and promoting a culture where clinicians can innovate, learn, and lead. You’ll find a team that celebrates your contributions, provides guidance when you need it, and respects your work‑life balance as you navigate assignments across communities. Our philosophy centers on sustainable practice, patient advocacy, and the belief that every therapist has the power to elevate the standard of care while expanding their own capabilities.
Call to action: if you’re a licensed Physical Therapist seeking a meaningful, high‑impact travel role that honors your expertise, apply now. Embrace the chance to deliver transformative care in Silver City, to explore the landscapes of New Mexico, and to grow within a program that values your clinical voice, your dedication, and your professional trajectory. This is more than a contract—it’s a pathway to deepen your skills, broaden your network, and contribute to communities that welcome your expertise with gratitude and curiosity.
