Take the next step in your Physical Therapy career with a dynamic travel assignment in California, Sunnyvale, starting on 03/23/2026. As a Physical Therapist, your clinical expertise and compassionate leadership will help patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and restore independence. This opportunity blends hands-on patient care with professional growth, enabling you to develop specialized skills in a supportive team environment. You’ll design, implement, and adjust individualized rehabilitation plans, collaborating with physicians, therapists, and support staff to optimize functional outcomes. You’ll educate patients and families, document progress meticulously, and advocate for evidence-based practices that speed recovery and enhance quality of life. In addition to the impact you’ll make on individual lives, you’ll contribute to a culture that values curiosity, adaptability, and continuous learning. California is more than a backdrop—it’s a place where innovation meets natural beauty. From sun-drenched shores along the Pacific to majestic redwood groves, from scenic coastal drives to world-class dining and cultural events, the Golden State invites you to explore, recharge, and draw inspiration for your practice. This separate celebration of California’s beauty complements the meaningful work you’ll perform, offering you a unique balance of professional fulfillment and personal discovery.
Location benefits go beyond your clinic walls. Sunnyvale positions you in the heart of the Bay Area’s robust medical community, with access to innovative facilities, progressive rehabilitation programs, and opportunities to engage with multidisciplinary teams that push the boundaries of care. Sunnyvale’s pleasant climate supports an active lifestyle, ample outdoor recreation, and convenient access to urban amenities, while still offering easy day trips to the broader Bay Area and Northern California’s picturesque landscapes. If you’re drawn to broader experiences, you’ll have the option to work in various locations across the United States, expanding your professional network, exposing you to diverse patient populations, and enriching your clinical perspective. You’ll gain exposure to different practice models, regulatory environments, and patient demographics that challenge and refine your therapeutic approach, all while enjoying the stability of a guaranteed 40 hours per week.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to reward your expertise and nurture your growth. As a traveling Physical Therapist, you’ll assess patients, develop targeted treatment plans, implement therapeutic interventions, and measure outcomes to drive meaningful progress. You’ll manage caseloads with flexibility and efficiency, document accurately, and communicate clearly with surgeons, physicians, nurses, and case managers. You’ll lead patient education sessions and coach families on home exercise programs to ensure continuity of care beyond the clinic. The role emphasizes professional growth within the specialty, with access to mentorship, continuing education opportunities, and a pathway to broaden your clinical competencies in orthopedics, neuro rehab, or pediatric-focused rehabilitation as your interests evolve. The compensation package is competitive and transparent, with weekly pay ranging from $2,520 to $2,608 and guaranteed hours of 40 per week. You’ll also benefit from a sign-on bonus or competitive bonus structure, comprehensive housing assistance, and extension opportunities that align with your career plans. A dedicated, 24/7 support team will be available throughout your travel, ensuring you have reliable help on hand as you transition between assignments or locations. Your clinical impact, combined with the stability of a well-supported environment, creates a uniquely rewarding travel PT experience.
Company values center on empowering staff, investing in career advancement, and fostering a supportive work environment. We’re committed to helping you grow as a clinician and as a professional, with resources that promote clinical leadership, collaboration, and work–life balance. Expect constructive feedback, peer mentorship, and opportunities to lead care initiatives that improve patient outcomes and streamline rehabilitation pathways. Our culture honors autonomy with accountability, compassion with rigor, and a shared commitment to patient-centered care. By joining, you’ll be part of a community that celebrates your expertise, supports your development, and champions your contributions to multidisciplinary teams, patients, and their families.
