Embark on a dynamic opportunity as a Travel Physical Therapy Assistant specializing in Physical Therapy Assistant care, delivering compassionate rehabilitation across Missouri and beyond. This role is crafted for motivated professionals who crave meaningful patient impact, ongoing clinical growth, and the freedom to explore diverse clinical settings. As you help patients regain mobility and confidence, you’ll build invaluable skills that elevate your career and enhance your clinical leadership. Missouri’s scenic landscapes and welcoming communities provide a compelling backdrop to your daily work, while the broader travel program offers exposure to a spectrum of conditions, treatment approaches, and interdisciplinary teamwork that accelerates your professional evolution. In your downtime, take in the beauty of the state: the rolling hills and tranquil rivers that define the Ozarks, the sparkling waters of Lake of the Ozarks, the historic Katy Trail winding through scenic countryside, and the cultural and culinary delights of Missouri’s cities—from the iconic Gateway Arch in St. Louis to the family-friendly charm of Branson. These experiences enrich your journey as you help patients achieve progress and independence.
Location Benefits: Working in Mound City, Missouri, grants you the chance to immerse yourself in a close-knit community known for its warm hospitality, safe neighborhoods, and access to outdoor recreation. The town’s pace fosters meaningful connections with patients and caregivers, while the broader travel program invites you to work in numerous locations across the United States, expanding your clinical horizons and professional network. As you cross state lines for new assignments, you’ll encounter varied practice environments—from outpatient clinics and inpatient units to skilled nursing facilities—allowing you to refine PT assistant competencies, diversify your caseload, and sharpen your adaptability. You’ll also enjoy the potential to experience regional differences in care delivery, documentation practices, and collaborative approaches, all while maintaining a consistent level of support and structured learning opportunities. The travel pathway is designed to maximize professional enrichment, knowledge exchange, and long-term career benefits, with the option to revisit beloved sites or extend assignments in locations that resonate with your goals.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Physical Therapy Assistant on this program, you’ll support licensed therapists in implementing individualized treatment plans, facilitating therapeutic modalities, and guiding patients through therapeutic exercises tailored to orthopedic, neurologic, geriatric, and post-surgical rehabilitation needs. Your responsibilities will include preparing treatment spaces, monitoring patient response and safety, documenting progress notes, communicating updates to the care team, and educating patients and families on exercises, safety strategies, and home programs to sustain gains. You’ll contribute to goal setting, data collection, and progressive program design under supervision, with opportunities to expand into specialty areas such as musculoskeletal rehab, pediatrics, or wound care, depending on assignment needs and professional development interests. The role is supported by guaranteed relationships with clinical supervisors who value your input and encourage ongoing skill enhancement. Compensation is competitive, with a weekly pay range of $1,225-$1,259, reflecting the value you bring to patient outcomes. You’ll have access to a sign-on or completion bonus, housing assistance to ease transition logistics, and opportunities to extend contracts for continued growth and continuity of care. Comprehensive onboarding and clinical mentoring await, along with 24/7 support from the traveling program’s dedicated team to address scheduling, travel changes, or clinical questions as they arise. You’ll also benefit from structured continuing education opportunities, performance feedback, and a clear path to career advancement within a company aligned with your professional mission.
Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering staff to reach their full potential while preserving a supportive, collaborative culture. We champion clinical excellence, ethical practice, and a patient-centered ethos, with a focus on fostering autonomy, responsibility, and teamwork. You’ll join a community that prioritizes transparent communication, mentorship, and ongoing professional development—an environment where your ideas are heard, your achievements are recognized, and your clinical judgment is trusted.
