Travel Physical Therapist Job
Waltham, MA
Contracted
MARISTHILL NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER
Mid Level
Embark on an empowering journey as a Travel Physical Therapist in Massachusetts, bringing advanced rehabilitation expertise to patients while exploring new communities and enriching your professional path. In this role, you will leverage evidence-based practice to assess, treat, and guide individuals through recovery from musculoskeletal, orthopedic, and neurological conditions. You will design personalized treatment plans, implement therapeutic modalities, and monitor progress toward functional goals, collaborating with physicians, nurses, and therapists to ensure holistic, patient-centered care. This is more than a contract—it's an opportunity to impact lives, elevate clinical skills, and cultivate resilience in dynamic settings. Massachusetts offers a blend of historic charm and contemporary vitality, from bustling cityscapes to tranquil shorelines, museums to outdoor trails. While you’re here, you’ll also be treated to the state’s natural beauty: autumn foliage painting the Berkshires, the sparkling coastline of Cape Cod, Cape Ann’s coastal villages, and the scenic rivers and parks around Boston. These settings aren’t just backdrops; they’re integral to your experience as you connect with patients and communities in meaningful ways. As a Travel PT, you’ll have the chance to apply your talents in diverse clinics, hospitals, and outpatient facilities, expanding your clinical repertoire while retaining the consistency of a structured, supportive assignment.
Location benefits matter, and Waltham, MA, provides a compelling mix of accessibility and community. You’ll be stationed in a thriving hub near Boston, with easy access to renowned medical centers, top-tier colleges, and a vibrant arts and dining scene. The city’s compact layout makes commuting straightforward, while proximity to larger metro areas opens doors to cross-site collaborations and ongoing professional development. Whether you seek the energy of urban environments or the comfort of close-knit clinical teams, this assignment offers a perfect entry point into New England healthcare culture. For teams seeking broader experiences, there is also the flexibility to rotate through varied locations across the U.S., broadening your clinical exposure and networking opportunities. This arrangement supports your growth as a clinician who can adapt to different patient populations, care models, and documentation systems, all while enjoying the unique benefits of living in Massachusetts.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to attract ambitious professionals who value steady, meaningful work and clear pathways for advancement. Core responsibilities include performing comprehensive patient evaluations, establishing evidence-based treatment plans, and delivering hands-on physical therapy—targeting strength, mobility, balance, gait training, pain management, and functional independence. You’ll document outcomes, communicate progress with referring providers, and participate in interdisciplinary rounds to optimize care. You’ll also educate patients and families on home exercise programs, injury prevention, and self-management strategies, ensuring continuity of care as patients transition from hospital to community settings. Professional growth is a central pillar of this opportunity: you’ll have access to specialty tracks, mentorship from senior clinicians, and continuing education options that align with your interests—whether you aim to deepen manual therapy skills, advance Geriatrics or Neurorehabilitation competencies, or pursue credentialing in a preferred modality. The role includes a competitive bonus structure, housing assistance to ease relocation, and clear extension opportunities that recognize your performance and patient impact. We prioritize a supportive, transparent environment where your clinical judgment is respected, and your voice helps shape care delivery.
Compensation and scheduling reinforce your stability and work‑life balance. You will be paid weekly within a range of $2,316 to $2,526, reflecting your experience, locale, and specific assignment requirements. Guaranteed hours are 40 per week, underscoring reliability for budgeting and planning. The expected start date is 12/29/2025, with duration framed as weeks, offering the flexibility to extend based on mutual fit and ongoing demand. In addition to competitive pay, you’ll benefit from a sign-on bonus where applicable, comprehensive housing support, and the option to extend assignments to maximize continuity of care for patients and career continuity for you. A dedicated travel concierge and 24/7 support line ensure you’re never navigating a new placement alone, with resources available day and night for housing logistics, credentialing, site orientation, and clinical questions. You’ll also receive access to robust networking opportunities within a nationwide PT community, enabling collaboration with colleagues across disciplines and locations.
Company values ground this opportunity in empowerment, growth, and care. We’re committed to supporting you as you advance professionally while maintaining a workplace culture that prioritizes teamwork, empathy, and clinical excellence. You’ll find a collaborative environment where innovation is encouraged, feedback is welcomed, and your contributions directly shape patient outcomes and program development. The organization understands travel PTs bring fresh perspectives and diverse experiences, and we’re dedicated to fostering a respectful, inclusive space where your skills are recognized and your career progresses.
If you’re ready to elevate your physical therapy practice, embrace new environments, and contribute to exemplary patient care, apply now. This is more than a job—it's a pathway to expanding your expertise, enriching your resume, and joining a company that values your impact and invests in your professional development. You’ll be part of a team that supports your journey, from onboarding through ongoing assignments, with resources designed to help you thrive and grow as a clinician.
