Beautiful places of Montana:
Montana’s landscapes offer more than scenery; they provide a daily invitation to recharge the spirit and sustain balance. From the foothills of the Rocky Mountains to wide-open plains and the rivers that carve through the state, Helena sits at the heart of a region where outdoor adventures—hiking, biking, fishing, skiing—are woven into everyday life. The state’s slower pace can amplify the satisfaction of patient progress, while the region’s cultural events, community outreach programs, and educational opportunities create a backdrop for a fulfilling career. As you deliver care, you’ll have access to a quality of life that blends professional purpose with the natural beauty of Montana.
Location Benefits:
Working in Helena offers a strong sense of community, excellent access to outdoor recreation, and a manageable urban environment that supports collaborative care. Helena’s welcoming neighborhoods, mid-sized-city amenities, and proximity to larger metropolitan hubs provide a balanced backdrop for your professional and personal life. The role also offers the flexibility to work in various locations across the U.S., opening doors to experiences in different clinical environments, patient demographics, and regional practice patterns. This variety can accelerate skill refinement, expand your clinical toolkit, and enhance your resume with a breadth of PT experiences—from acute care and outpatient rehabilitation to home health and specialty settings. You’ll benefit from a supportive travel ecosystem designed to minimize gaps in patient care while you explore new communities, ensuring you stay connected with families, schools, and local organizations that value movement health.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
In this position, you’ll assess, diagnose, and design individualized physical therapy programs aimed at restoring function, reducing impairment, and promoting long-term wellness. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include comprehensive musculoskeletal and neurological evaluations, development of evidence-based treatment plans, manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercise progression, gait and balance retraining, and patient and family education to support adherence and safety. You’ll document outcomes, track progress, and adjust plans as patient goals evolve, collaborating closely with physicians, nurses, and other therapists to ensure integrated care. The role offers extensive professional growth opportunities within the Physical Therapy specialty, including exposure to diverse populations, complex cases, and opportunities to develop specialty skills such as vestibular therapy, stroke rehabilitation, or orthopaedic-focused interventions. You’ll be encouraged to pursue continuing education and evidence-based practice, with mentors and peers available to guide your development.
Competitive benefits are a core pillar of this opportunity. The weekly pay ranges from $1,939 to $2,058, reflecting your expertise and the value you bring to patient outcomes. A housing allowance or housing assistance helps you settle in comfortably as you begin your assignment. You’ll also have access to a completion bonus, with extension opportunities available for dedicated professionals who demonstrate exceptional clinical and collaborative performance. A comprehensive support network is in place, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel support team to address scheduling, housing logistics, credentialing, and any on-site needs, so you can focus on what you do best—delivering high-quality PT care. You’ll enjoy guaranteed hours of 36 per week, providing stability and predictable planning for personal time and professional development, with the potential to extend your contract based on performance and organizational needs.
Company Values:
Our organization is built on empowering staff to grow within their careers while maintaining a compassionate, patient-centered environment. We invest in your professional advancement by offering mentorship, structured onboarding, access to continuing education resources, and a culture that values teamwork, integrity, and excellence. You’ll join a supportive community that prioritizes work-life balance, open communication, and a shared commitment to improving mobility and function for patients across the country.
