Travel Physical Therapist Job
Location benefits extend beyond the clinic walls. Willits, perched in the scenic Mendocino County, offers a tranquil setting where you can focus on patient progress while enjoying outdoor recreation, farmer’s markets, and nearby parks that refresh the mind after a day of impactful therapy. The opportunity to work in Willits provides a chance to immerse yourself in a tight‑knit community that values collaboration, empathy, and hands‑on problem solving. And for professionals seeking broader horizons, the role also opens pathways to work across multiple locations in the United States, providing exposure to diverse patient populations, varied clinical settings, and the chance to refine your adaptive skills while expanding your professional network. You’ll experience the advantages of a nationwide framework that supports mobility, safe travel, and seamless transitions between assignments, all while maintaining a strong sense of belonging wherever you land.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to prioritize your clinical autonomy, professional advancement, and personal well‑being. As a Physical Therapist on contract, you’ll lead comprehensive evaluations, develop and implement customized treatment plans, and monitor functional progress for a diverse caseload. You’ll guide therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, assistive devices, and modalities that restore strength, balance, and independence. Documentation, care coordination with physicians and therapists, and ongoing outcome measures will be integral, with opportunities to develop specialization in orthopedics, neurorehabilitation, pediatrics, or geriatrics depending on site needs. The role emphasizes growth: engage in mentorship, pursue targeted continuing education, and broaden your scope through cross‑facility collaboration. Competitive benefits include a signing incentive, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions that align with your career trajectory. You’ll also appreciate the robust support network, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated team while you travel, ensuring you’re never alone when navigating patient needs or logistics on the road. While the listed weekly pay ranges from $2,584 to $2,692, it’s paired with flexible scheduling that respects your workload preferences, skill level, and desired pace of assignment. The hours you commit are not guaranteed by baseline contract terms, and final compensation and scheduling will be confirmed during the hiring process, but you’ll have a transparent framework designed to reward impact and reliability.
In addition to clinical duties, you’ll benefit from a holistic package that recognizes your contributions as a skilled clinician and a traveling professional. Expect housing assistance that eases relocation and temporary housing concerns, enabling you to settle into the Willits community quickly and comfortably. A performance‑driven bonus structure acknowledges your commitment to excellence and patient outcomes, while extension opportunities allow you to deepen your impact with existing teams or explore new clinical challenges at other sites. The program supports your ongoing professional development, including access to educational resources, credentialing support, and time allotted for continuing education credits, so you can stay at the forefront of evidence‑based practice without compromising work‑life balance. A culture that prioritizes safety, respect, and teamwork underpins every interaction, and our leadership remains committed to empowering you to chart your own career path while contributing meaningfully to the patient communities you serve.
Our values center on empowerment, growth, and a supportive work environment where clinicians feel valued and recognized. We are dedicated to helping you build a resilient professional identity, with clear pathways for clinical specialization, leadership opportunities, and collaborative problem solving across facilities. You’ll join a team that celebrates initiative, values your judgment, and provides the resources you need to deliver high‑quality care while maintaining personal well‑being during travel. The combination of meaningful clinical complexity, geographic variety, and a supportive framework makes this role a compelling choice for therapists who want to elevate their practice while enjoying the rich experiences that travel and California living can offer.
If you’re ready to apply, this is your invitation to join a company that prioritizes your expertise and career development. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to influence patient outcomes, expand your clinical horizons, and grow within a nationwide network that values your contribution every step of the way. Take the next step and apply today to begin a rewarding journey as a Travel Physical Therapist in California’s Willits community, with the potential to explore diverse locations across the United States, backed by comprehensive support, competitive compensation, and a culture committed to your professional advancement. Ready to make a lasting impact while experiencing the best of California and beyond? We can’t wait to welcome you.
