This opportunity blends hands-on patient care with dynamic professional growth, inviting you to make meaningful differences in mobility, independence, and daily living for patients across a range of acute, subacute, and outpatient settings. Picture yourself guiding patients through therapeutic exercise, gait training, balance work, and functional mobility, while collaborating with seasoned clinicians to tailor plans that empower faster recovery and safer transitions back to daily life. The work will challenge you, reward you, and continually sharpen your clinical judgment. Separately, you’ll discover the beauty of New Hampshire’s landscape and culture—rolling hills in spring, vibrant fall foliage, serene lakes, and the White Mountains’ dramatic scenery. Keene itself offers a charming blend of historic charm and modern vitality, with outdoor recreation, quaint downtown streets, cultural events, and easy weekend getaways to further inspire your life outside the clinic.
Location benefits: Keene, New Hampshire, combines a welcoming, tight-knit community with the advantages of a region rich in natural beauty and outdoor opportunities. You’ll enjoy four-season living that supports hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and scenic drives, plus a thriving arts and culinary scene that makes after-work exploration rewarding. For travel enthusiasts, there’s the added appeal of opportunities to work in other locations across the United States, expanding your professional network, exposing you to diverse patient populations, and broadening your clinical repertoire. Whether you’re drawn to the Northwest’s mountains, the Southeast’s climate, or mid-Atlantic settings, this travel role provides a flexible pathway to experience different clinical environments while maintaining a stable core role in physical therapy across settings. The program is designed to offer you predictable planning thanks to guaranteed hours and a structured support system, ensuring you can devote energy to patient care while discovering new communities.
Role specifics and benefits: As a Physical Therapy Assistant on this assignment, you’ll work under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist to implement and adjust treatment plans, monitor patient responses, and advance therapeutic goals. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include guiding therapeutic exercises to improve range of motion, strength, endurance, and balance; assisting with gait training, transfers, and functional mobility tasks; applying selective modalities as indicated; educating patients and families on home exercise programs and safety strategies; documenting progress and assisting with data collection under supervision; coordinating care with nurses, occupational therapists, and other team members to ensure a cohesive approach. The role offers significant opportunities for professional growth within the specialty through exposure to orthopedic, neurological, geriatrics, and rehab-focused protocols, with ongoing mentorship and potential for certifications or advanced practice oversight. The package features a competitive compensation structure including a bonus and robust housing assistance, plus the potential for extension opportunities beyond the initial assignment. You’ll also benefit from 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team, available to assist with scheduling, accommodations, credentialing, and on-site needs, ensuring you’re never alone on the road. Expect a contract designed to honor your expertise and your time, with guaranteed hours of 35.0 per week, a start date that aligns with patient care continuity, and a multi-week assignment that supports meaningful patient outcomes while allowing for personal exploration of the region. Note that hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
