Travel Physical Therapist Job
Alturas, CA
Contracted
Modoc Medical Center
Mid Level
Launch your travel PT career with a premier assignment in California, Alturas, beginning 12/19/2025. This Physical Therapist opportunity is designed for clinicians who want to broaden their impact, deepen their clinical repertoire, and experience the country through patient‑centered care. You’ll assess and treat diverse caseloads, translate evaluations into individualized plans, apply evidence‑based techniques, and collaborate with physicians, nurses, and teammates across outpatient and rehabilitative settings. The contract emphasizes growth through exposure to varied clinical populations, documentation systems, and care pathways, with a guaranteed 36 hours per week and a schedule that respects your life outside the clinic while delivering meaningful, patient‑facing work over a series of weeks. Competitive compensation, thorough onboarding, and the potential for extensions or longer-term opportunities make this a compelling next step in your professional journey.
Separately, California’s beauty fuels your professional balance. Alturas sits in a scenic corner of the state, framed by expansive skies, nearby national forests, and a welcoming rural community that values care, connection, and well‑being. Beyond Alturas, the state offers a tapestry of inspiration—from the grandeur of the Sierra Nevada to redwood groves, alpine lakes, and sunlit coastlines. Whether you’re venturing on a hiking trail after a shift, enjoying a quiet moment in a sunlit lounge, or exploring canyons and deserts, California provides a backdrop that revitalizes your energy and sustains clinical excellence.
Location benefits: An Alturas assignment delivers the advantages of a tight‑knit community, reduced commute stress, and a chance to improve health access in rural settings. You’ll work with a broad spectrum of patients, including older adults, post‑surgical rehab clients, and individuals regaining mobility after injury, often benefiting from cohesive teams and streamlined care pathways. For clinicians who crave variety, the program also places you in multiple locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical toolkit, exposing you to different clinic cultures and documentation workflows, and building a versatile resume that signals adaptability and leadership.
Role specifics and benefits: As a travel Physical Therapist, you’ll conduct comprehensive evaluations, develop and implement individualized treatment plans, and progress therapeutic interventions. You’ll apply manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, gait training, neuromuscular reeducation, and other modalities to restore function and independence, while maintaining accurate documentation and coordinating discharge planning. You’ll engage in ongoing professional growth through exposure to orthopedics, geriatrics, and rehabilitation pathways, with extension opportunities that allow deeper impact and continued learning. The compensation includes a weekly pay range of $2,635–$2,787, plus housing support and the potential for a sign‑on bonus. Comprehensive 24/7 support while traveling, access to clinical leads, and resources for continuing education ensure you’re never alone on the road, even as you navigate new clinical settings.
Company values: Our organization is committed to empowering clinicians to advance their careers within a supportive, collaborative culture. We invest in your development, promote autonomy with accountability, and nurture a team environment where questions are welcomed and knowledge is shared. You’ll find mentors and peers who celebrate achievement, recognize hard work, and help you navigate professional pathways—from early practice to leadership—while safeguarding your well‑being and work‑life balance.
Call to action: If you’re ready to bring your expertise to a company that values your contribution and your professional growth, apply today. This is more than a job—it’s a shared mission to deliver exceptional care, broaden your clinical horizons, and grow your career in a community that respects your skills and time.
