Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Physical Therapy Assistant in Butte, Montana, where your hands-on care helps patients reclaim mobility and confidence after injury, surgery, or illness. In this focused specialty role, you’ll translate evaluation findings into practical, compassionate interventions—guiding patients through tailored exercise programs, manual therapy techniques, and functional training that restore independence and improve quality of life. Each day, you’ll collaborate with a dedicated physical therapy team to make measurable progress, celebrate milestones, and learn from experienced clinicians in a supportive, fast-paced environment. Beyond the clinic walls, Montana’s rugged beauty awaits: wide-open skies over the Pioneer Mountains, the Clark Fork river winding through town, and a gateway to year-round outdoor adventures that inspire holistic healing and well-being.
Butte offers a compelling blend of small-city charm and big‑city opportunities in healthcare. You’ll work in a community with a strong sense of camaraderie, where patients value comprehensive rehabilitation and clinicians support one another’s growth. The area is known for outdoor recreation, from hiking and fishing to winter sports, making it easy to maintain balance and recharge after demanding days with patients. For professionals who enjoy exploring, there is also the option to rotate through additional locations across the United States within our travel program, enabling you to experience diverse clinics, patient populations, and clinical priorities while keeping the same trusted support system behind you.

You’ll be empowered to grow professionally through structured mentorship, access to continuing education, and opportunities to expand your scope within the Physical Therapy Assistant specialty. Your role will be integral to the patient journey, with a clear pathway to enhanced responsibilities as you demonstrate clinical judgment, efficiency, and compassionate care. In addition to the core duties, you’ll receive a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well‑being, including a signing or performance bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary lodging, and the possibility of contract extensions that reward consistency, skill development, and strong outcomes.
