This multi-week opportunity invites you to leverage your clinical expertise to empower patients at every stage of recovery while embracing the unique rhythms of New England. Picture yourself guiding individuals through musculoskeletal rehabilitation, spinal health optimization, and post-surgical recovery, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to restore mobility, function, and confidence. In this role you’ll influence outcomes, celebrate progress with patients and families, and witness tangible improvements that ripple through daily life. Beyond the clinic, you’ll savor the beauty of Maine—from the Kennebec River’s calm mornings to scenic trails and the seasonal charm that defines Waterville—from vibrant autumn colors to winter snows that transform nearby landscapes into playgrounds for outdoor therapy ideas and restorative breaks. And when you’re ready to explore, our travel program offers opportunities to serve across the United States, enriching your professional portfolio with varied settings, patient populations, and practice environments.

Location benefits and opportunities are a standout feature of this assignment. Waterville blends the warmth of a tight-knit community with access to cultural offerings, outdoor recreation, and a welcoming, affordable lifestyle. You’ll enjoy the advantages of a stable hub in central Maine—easy drives to scenic parks, riverfront strolls, local farms, and a thriving university-driven community that values lifelong learning. Our program also positions you to experience other locations across the U.S., expanding your professional horizons. You’ll have the chance to work in urban hospital networks, rural clinics, and specialty centers—gaining exposure to diverse patient needs while maintaining the supportive backbone of a nationwide team.

As a Travel Physical Therapist, you will conduct thorough assessments, develop evidence-based treatment plans, and implement therapeutic interventions across a spectrum of conditions—orthopedic, neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary, and post-operative rehabilitation. You’ll guide patients through functional restoration, gait training, balance and proprioception work, pain management, and home exercise programs, collaborating with physicians, nurses, and rehab aides to coordinate care. Documentation in electronic health records, accurate progress notes, and timely communication with care teams will be fundamental. You’ll have opportunities for professional growth within the specialty through targeted continuing education, mentorship from experienced clinicians, and exposure to varied patient populations and treatment modalities. The package includes a competitive pay range of $2,312–$2,482 per week, with guaranteed 35 hours weekly, and a bonus structure designed to recognize exceptional performance and patient outcomes. Housing assistance and extension opportunities are available, enhancing stability and potential for longer-term collaboration.
