Mid Level
Step into a rewarding career as a Travel Physical Therapist in Massachusetts, New Bedford, where your clinical expertise and compassionate care will help patients reclaim mobility, confidence, and independence. In this role, you’ll apply evidence-based assessment and treatment strategies to a diverse patient population, guiding them from acute recovery through durable, functional outcomes. You’ll collaborate with physicians, therapists, and support teams to design tailored rehab plans that restore strength, balance, and confidence in daily activities. This is your opportunity to impact lives across a welcoming coastal city while advancing your professional trajectory in a dynamic, patient-centered environment. Your start is set for March 16, 2026, with assignments designed in weeks to fit your preferences and professional goals. Each assignment is structured to guarantee 36 hours per week, with competitive compensation that recognizes your expertise and dedication, and a clear path to extension based on mutual fit and patient needs.
New Bedford offers a distinctive blend of maritime heritage, urban energy, and seaside serenity that makes every day engaging. Known for its historic whaling legacy, vibrant arts scene, and bustling waterfront, the city invites you to explore a rich cultural tapestry and scenic shorelines after your shift. Massachusetts itself is a mosaic of beautiful places: from the iconic charm of Boston’s neighborhoods and world-class museums to the tranquil coves of Cape Cod and the rolling hills of the South Shore. Whether you’re savoring fresh seafood along a sunlit promenade, strolling through well-kept green spaces, or taking a short trip to nearby coastal towns, you’ll find inspiration around every corner. And for travel professionals who value variety, this role also offers the potential to work in other locations across the United States, expanding your network and enriching your clinical experience.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Key responsibilities: Conduct comprehensive evaluations, establish individualized treatment plans, implement therapeutic interventions (gait training, balance and fall prevention, manual therapies, therapeutic exercises), monitor progress, adjust plans as needed, and document outcomes clearly for interdisciplinary teams. Ensure patient safety, align with evidence-based guidelines, and educate patients and families to empower ongoing self-management.
- Professional growth: Leverage a broad caseload and exposure to diverse populations to refine orthopedic, musculoskeletal, and neuro-rehab competencies. Opportunities to participate in specialty pathways, advanced modalities, and cross-site collaboration bolster your skill set while expanding your professional portfolio.
- Competitive benefits: Enjoy a weekly pay range of $2,430–$2,566, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week. Benefit from a sign-on bonus and housing assistance designed to reduce relocation stress and help you settle quickly into your new environment.
- Housing and extension: Comprehensive housing support is available to secure comfortable, convenient accommodations near your assignment. Extension opportunities are encouraged based on performance, patient demand, and facility needs, allowing you to continue making an impact at a pace that suits you.
- Support and coverage: You’ll have 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring reliable assistance, clear escalation channels, and access to dedicated coordinators who streamline onboarding, orientation, and ongoing logistics. Expect seamless administrative support, dependable scheduling, and timely issue resolution.
