Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Physical Therapist in Mattoon, Illinois, where your clinical expertise will illuminate the path to meaningful mobility, independence, and renewed confidence for every patient you serve. This dedicated travel assignment, beginning on 02/02/2026, offers you a platform to expand your specialty practice, translate evidence into compassionate care, and grow within a supportive network that champions professional development. Illinois is a state of contrasts and beauty—from rolling prairie vistas to vibrant small towns, from tranquil rivers to dynamic cultural hubs. In Mattoon you’ll experience a welcoming community with modern clinics, excellent amenities, and a gateway to exploring the broader Midwest. Beyond Mattoon, this role also provides the option to work in diverse locations across the United States, delivering you opportunities to encounter different patient populations, clinical settings, and professional collaborations that sharpen your skills and expand your horizons.

Choosing to work in Mattoon means embracing a location with genuine Midwest warmth, accessible patient access, and the chance to experience the unique rhythm of a community that values healthcare and personal well-being. You’ll be part of a network that supports relocation, housing solutions, and a smooth onboarding process, all designed to help you settle quickly and begin delivering high-quality care. The possibilities don’t end at the Illinois border: you’ll have the ability to extend your horizons by taking assignments across the country, each placement offering fresh clinical challenges, new interdisciplinary teams, and the chance to weave a broader professional narrative while maintaining a consistent commitment to patient outcomes.

As a Physical Therapist in this role, your responsibilities will center on comprehensive, patient-centered care. You will assess functional status, develop and execute individualized rehabilitation plans, and implement evidence-based interventions that restore strength, flexibility, and confidence in daily activities. You’ll monitor progress, adjust treatment protocols as needed, and document outcomes with precision in the patient record. Collaboration is key: you’ll coordinate with physicians, nurses, and therapy aides to ensure seamless care transitions, discharge planning, and continuity from acute care through community-based settings. Education is a cornerstone of your practice—empowering patients and families with practical strategies for home exercise programs, fall prevention, gait training, balance enhancement, neuromuscular re-education, and adaptive equipment. You’ll participate in ongoing clinical learning, staying current with the latest rehabilitation philosophies, while also contributing your own insights to a dynamic team.

This assignment offers competitive, motivating compensation designed to recognize your clinical impact. You’ll receive a weekly pay range of $2,197 to $2,329, with guaranteed hours of 40 per week, ensuring financial stability as you plan your schedule and patient caseload. In addition to solid compensation, you may be eligible for a sign-on bonus and housing assistance, easing the logistics of relocating or traveling, and reducing time to focus on patient care. The program supports extension opportunities, enabling you to deepen your experience in a given clinical setting or transition to new, enriching experiences across other locations. To complement your itinerary, you’ll benefit from 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you have reliable access to clinical guidance, credentialing assistance, and concierge-level help for any travel or housing needs. This comprehensive support ecosystem is designed so you can dedicate your energy to patient outcomes and professional growth without getting entangled in administrative friction.

The company behind this opportunity is anchored in empowering its staff, nurturing career advancement, and cultivating a supportive, collaborative work culture. You’ll find mentorship from experienced colleagues, structured pathways for specialty development, and clear avenues for leadership opportunities as you demonstrate clinical excellence and a commitment to patient advocacy. The emphasis on a positive, inclusive environment means you’ll have access to resources that celebrate diverse perspectives, encourage continuous learning, and reward initiative, teamwork, and patient-centric care. A culture of transparency and respect supports your well-being, enabling you to deliver exceptional rehab services while safeguarding your own professional satisfaction and work-life balance.

If you’re ready to apply, this is your invitation to join a team that values your expertise and invests in your成长 as a clinician. Take the next step to shape outcomes, explore Illinois and beyond, and contribute to a mission that places patient empowerment at the forefront. Your impact as a Physical Therapist will resonate not only in the hallway of the clinic but in the everyday lives of patients reclaiming mobility and independence. Apply now to begin a rewarding chapter on 02/02/2026, with a role that respects your skill, supports your journey, and celebrates your ongoing professional development.
