Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Physical Therapist in Virginia, Richmond, where your clinical expertise becomes the catalyst for healing, independence, and renewed confidence. This role places you at the heart of communities where every patient story matters, allowing you to blend evidence-based practice with compassionate care across a spectrum of settings. You will evaluate, design, and guide individualized rehabilitation programs that restore mobility, reduce pain, and empower patients to return to the activities they love. Each assignment is a new chapter—varying environments, diverse patient populations, and the chance to influence outcomes in meaningful, tangible ways. If you are a practitioner who thrives on challenge, collaborative teamwork, and continuous growth, this is an opportunity to expand your impact while embracing the rich culture, history, and charm of Virginia. Virginia is not only a place to practice; it’s a place to savor life—where the energy of Richmond’s neighborhoods meets the serenity of its river parks, where scenic drives, historic sites, and vibrant arts scenes become a backdrop to your professional mission.
Virginia’s Natural and Cultural Beauty: The state unfolds like a diverse landscape of opportunity. In Richmond and central Virginia, you’ll enjoy a thriving urban core with accessible healthcare networks, museums, dining, and live performances. Venturing beyond city limits offers the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah National Park, and the James River experiences that turn weekends into a chance to recharge. From colonial charm to modern innovation, Virginia’s landscapes and cultural offerings provide a welcoming, restorative environment that complements the demands of travel healthcare. Whether you’re chasing a sunset hike, a riverfront stroll, or a gallery crawl, you’ll discover spaces that foster balance between professional dedication and personal wellbeing.
Location Benefits: Working in Richmond means access to robust healthcare systems, interdisciplinary collaboration, and opportunities to connect with mentors and peers who value excellence in rehabilitation. You’ll experience the advantages of a thriving urban setting—short commutes to high-quality facilities, diverse patient demographics, and a schedule designed to optimize clinical learning. And because this role also offers the possibility to work in various locations across the United States, you’ll gain exposure to different practice models, regulatory environments, and patient populations—each contributing to a deeper, more versatile skill set. The ability to rotate through inpatient, outpatient, and skilled nursing environments lets you tailor your practice to your evolving professional interests while expanding your professional network. Alongside clinical growth, you’ll benefit from structured support teams, travel resources, and the excitement of exploring new communities with the reassurance of stable, reliable planning.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Core responsibilities: conduct comprehensive evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, implement therapies to restore function, monitor progress, document outcomes, and coordinate with physicians, therapists, and care teams. Provide patient and family education on home exercise programs, injury prevention, and safety strategies. Ensure smooth discharge planning and continuity of care as patients transition across settings.
- Professional growth: collaborate with diverse teams to deepen expertise across orthopedic, neurological, and general rehab pathways. Access ongoing education, evidence-based practice updates, and opportunities to extend your contract for continued growth in the specialty. The role is designed to broaden clinical fluency, refine manual therapy skills, and strengthen goal-oriented care planning.
- Competitive benefits: enjoy a competitive weekly pay range of $2,066–$2,099, with guaranteed hours of 35 per week, beginning 02/02/2026 for a duration defined by weeks. Additional incentives may include a sign-on bonus and housing assistance to ease relocation and temporary housing needs. There are extension opportunities that recognize performance, reliability, and the value you bring to patient outcomes.
- Comprehensive support: travel with confidence thanks to 24/7 support from a dedicated team. From onboarding and orientation to on-the-ground assistance during assignments, you’ll have round-the-clock access to resources, guidance, and problem-solving to ensure a smooth, successful experience wherever you practice.
- Work-life integration: benefits are designed to support you as a traveling clinician—credentialing support, licensure assistance, and access to a network of healthcare facilities that welcome PTs who are committed to high-quality care and collaborative practice.
Company Values: Our organization is anchored in empowering staff, prioritizing career advancement, and cultivating a supportive, inclusive work environment. We believe in recognizing your expertise, providing mentorship and learning opportunities, and enabling you to craft a path that aligns with your professional goals. The commitment to your development extends beyond contract terms: we celebrate ongoing learning, peer collaboration, and a culture where your voice informs practice improvements and patient outcomes.
