As a Physical Therapy Assistant, you have the power to help patients reclaim movement, independence, and a brighter everyday life. This travel assignment in Cape May, New Jersey puts you at the heart of rehabilitative care, where your hands-on skills and collaborative approach accelerate recovery and empower individuals to meet their goals. You’ll work closely with licensed therapists to implement customized plans of care, assist with therapeutic modalities, monitor progress, and educate patients and families to sustain gains beyond each session. The impact you make is tangible and meaningful, and your daily work will be enriched by a coastal setting that blends professional purpose with a welcoming, relaxed lifestyle. Separately, the state of New Jersey offers a tapestry of beauty—from Cape May’s sunlit beaches and pristine shorelines to its charming Victorian streets, gourmet eateries, nature reserves, and plentiful outdoor adventures that invite you to unwind after meaningful clinical days.
Location Benefits: Cape May presents a unique blend of clinical excellence and an inviting coastal ambiance. Working here means appreciating fresh sea breezes, panoramic sunsets, and easy access to nature trails, wildlife refuges, and family-friendly attractions. The region’s compact size fosters close-knit teams and rapid integration into local care networks, while still offering the opportunity to explore diverse patient populations. For those who crave broader horizons, this role also opens the door to assignments across the United States, delivering exposure to varied clinical settings, patient demographics, and interprofessional collaboration. You’ll experience the advantages of a coast-driven lifestyle—seasonal events, waterfront dining, and a community that celebrates resilience and care—while benefiting from stable scheduling, reliable support, and the chance to broaden your professional repertoire in multiple jurisdictions.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this role, you’ll support comprehensive PT services under the guidance of licensed therapists. Key responsibilities include contributing to plans of care, conducting ROM assessments, assisting with gait training and strengthening programs, applying modalities and assistive devices, and supporting therapeutic interventions designed to restore function and reduce pain. You’ll document progress accurately, communicate patient responses to the supervising PT, and participate in patient and family education to promote adherence and self-management. As a travel professional, you’ll enjoy competitive compensation, including a potential bonus, with weekly pay ranging from $1,493 to $1,645. The assignment guarantees 36 hours per week, providing predictability and continuity for you and your patients. Start date is set for 01/26/2026, and the duration is measured in weeks, with extension opportunities available based on performance, unit needs, and patient outcomes. Housing assistance and extension opportunities are part of the package, designed to reduce barriers and maximize your focus on clinical excellence. You’ll also have access to 24/7 support from our dedicated travel team, ensuring you’re never navigating a clinical or logistical challenge alone while you’re on assignment. A sign-on bonus, housing stipends, and potential incentives further bolster the overall rewards of bringing your expertise to a variety of settings and communities.
Company Values: Our company is rooted in empowering staff to grow professionally while maintaining a supportive, collaborative work environment. We are committed to ongoing mentorship, access to continuing education, and clear pathways for career advancement within physical therapy specialties. The culture emphasizes open communication, respect for diverse patient populations, and a shared dedication to patient-centered outcomes.
