Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic Travel Physical Therapist role in Newport, Oregon, where your clinical expertise will empower patients to reclaim independence while you explore a coastline renowned for both natural beauty and coastal charm. This dedicated specialty opportunity invites you to apply evidence‑based rehabilitation, design individualized care plans, and collaborate with a compassionate medical team to deliver meaningful, measurable outcomes. If you’re energized by making a tangible difference across diverse patient populations and thriving in a coastal community, this assignment is crafted to fit your professional vision. Beyond patient care, Oregon’s stunning landscapes invite weekend exploration—from dramatic ocean vistas and forested trails to vibrant coastal towns and farm-to-table dining. Newport’s working harbor, historic lighthouses, and whale-watching opportunities create a unique backdrop for balance and renewal. The state’s broader wonders—from the Cascade forests to wine country valleys—offer a rich tapestry of outdoor adventure and cultural discovery. Start date is 12/05/2025, and the duration will align with project needs, with opportunities for extension as you grow in your role.
Location benefits: In Newport you’ll enjoy a welcoming coastal community with ocean air, easy access to amenities, and a supportive network of healthcare professionals. The assignment provides the stability of guaranteed hours and a schedule designed to fit a thoughtful work‑life rhythm. As a Travel PT, you’ll also have the option to work at additional sites across the United States, expanding your clinical experience, professional network, and exposure to a variety of care settings. Whether your preference leans coastal or inland, you’ll bring a versatile skill set to environments ranging from inpatient rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities to outpatient clinics and home health. The Pacific Northwest climate supports year‑round outdoor activity—gentle hikes along the coast, tide pooling, kayaking, and exploring nearby state and national parks. When you’re ready for a broader horizon, our program delivers smooth transitions, comprehensive onboarding, and local resources to help you navigate new locations with confidence.
Role specifics and benefits: As a Travel Physical Therapist, you will evaluate patients to determine functional deficits, develop targeted rehabilitation plans, and implement evidence‑based interventions to improve mobility, strength, balance, gait, and independence in daily activities. You’ll guide therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, assistive devices, and education for patients and families, adjusting plans as needed to ensure safety and progress. You’ll monitor outcomes, document progress accurately, and collaborate with physicians, nurses, and other therapists to coordinate care and optimize discharge planning. This role supports ongoing professional growth within the specialty, offering opportunities to master advanced techniques, mentor peers, contribute to quality improvement initiatives, and expand credentials through continuing education. Competitive benefits include a weekly pay between $2,305 and $2,350, guaranteed 40 hours per week, and the prospect of contract extensions. Housing assistance is available to ease relocation, with additional options such as stipends or a housing allowance depending on the assignment. A sign‑on or performance bonus may also be part of the compensation package. Throughout every step of your travel, you will receive 24/7 support from our travel operations team—assistance with travel logistics, licensing and credentialing, onsite orientation, and ongoing help as you transition between assignments. Start date is 12/05/2025, with duration dictated by project needs and your availability, and a clear path to extended engagements when you demonstrate performance and fit.

We invest in your development through mentorship, access to continuing education resources, and opportunities for leadership within a collaborative, respectful work environment. We recognize your expertise, honor your professional voice, and foster a culture that prioritizes work‑life balance, safety, and well‑being.
