Monterey, CA
Contracted
Cypress Ridge Care Center
Mid Level
Step into a purpose-driven role as a Physical Therapist in Monterey, California, where your clinical skill translates into restored mobility, renewed independence, and improved quality of life for patients across a spectrum of ages and conditions. This dedicated travel assignment centers on the art and science of physical therapy, inviting you to apply evidence-based strategies, creative problem-solving, and compassionate care to real-world needs. As you begin on 03/09/2026 for a weeks-long engagement with guaranteed hours of 38.0 per week, you’ll earn a competitive weekly pay range of $1,819-$1,939 while contributing to meaningful outcomes. Imagine guiding post-injury rehab, stroke recovery, orthopedic restoration, or chronic pain management, tailoring plans to each patient’s goals, and partnering with families and interdisciplinary teams to ensure sustained progress. In Monterey, you’ll experience a coastal lifestyle that enriches your professional perspective while you witness the tangible impact of your work on individual lives and community well-being.
Monterey offers more than a beautiful backdrop. Working here means thriving in a location renowned for its maritime scenery, rich history, and vibrant culture—from the iconic Monterey Bay coastline and the world‑class cuisine to scenic trails and outdoor exploration. The environment is conducive to thoughtful, patient-centered care and meaningful professional reflections after a day in the clinic. At the same time, this opportunity also provides the flexibility of a travel assignment within a nationwide network, enabling you to explore additional sites across the United States as openings permit. You’ll gain exposure to diverse clinical settings and patient populations, sharpening your adaptability and expanding your clinical toolkit while enjoying the distinctive experiences that come with life on the West Coast and beyond.
Role specifics and benefits come together to create a compelling growth path. You’ll be responsible for comprehensive evaluation, prognosis, and development of individualized treatment plans that emphasize restoring function, reducing pain, and preventing further impairment. Your days will include facilitating therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, balance and gait training, and functional activity advancement. You’ll document progress, adjust plans based on outcomes, and communicate clearly with physicians, case managers, and families. The role also presents ample professional growth: opportunities to pursue specialty skills in orthopedics, neurorehabilitation, pediatrics, or geriatrics, supported by mentorship, targeted CE resources, and performance-based advancement discussions. In addition, the position offers competitive benefits designed to reward your expertise and dedication:
- Sign-on or completion bonus to recognize your commitment.
- Housing assistance and/or stipends to reduce living expenses while you’re on assignment.
- Extension opportunities that let you prolong impactful placements with continued support and continuity of care for patients.
- A robust network of 24/7 support for traveling therapists, ensuring assistance with logistics, clinical questions, and emergency needs wherever your assignment takes you.
- Structured weekly pay of $1,819-$1,939 with guaranteed 38.0 hours, providing financial stability as you plan your next professional chapter.
Our company values your autonomy and your voice. We are dedicated to empowering your career through a supportive, inclusive environment that prioritizes your development, well-being, and professional satisfaction. You’ll find accessible leadership, peer collaboration, and resources that encourage advancement—whether you aspire to become a lead therapist, develop specialty areas, or transition into education and mentorship roles. The culture here centers on teamwork, transparent feedback, and a shared commitment to delivering patient-centered care while honoring work-life balance.
If you’re ready to translate clinical expertise into transformative patient outcomes and to grow within a company that values your contribution and professional development, we’d love to hear from you. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to join a network that supports your ambitions while you deliver exceptional care in Monterey and beyond.
