Silver City, NM

Genesis - West Region - Silver City Care Center
Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Travel Physical Therapist with a specialty focus in enabling whole-person recovery and independence. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to empower patients to reclaim mobility, reduce pain, and return to the rhythms of daily life, all while exploring the rich landscapes and cultural richness of New Mexico. Start your assignment in Silver City on 12/15/2025, with a guaranteed 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $2,175 to $2,339. This dedicated travel role blends clinical autonomy with team collaboration, allowing you to tailor evidence-based therapies to diverse patient populations across clinics that value innovation, compassion, and results. Imagine the impact you can make as you guide patients through graded activity, therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and functional training, helping them regain independence after injury, surgery, or illness. And beyond the clinic walls, you’ll discover that New Mexico’s golden sunsets, coffee-scented mornings, and canyons carved by time offer a backdrop for personal renewal and renewed clinical perspective. It’s not just about the therapy room—it’s about the broader experiences you’ll collect along the way.
Location benefits come into sharp relief when you’re in Silver City, a town that blends small-town charm with access to impressive outdoor adventures. You’ll work in a community that values connection, where clinics partner with schools, senior centers, and local organizations to create meaningful rehabilitation pathways. Silver City offers a gateway to the Gila National Forest, scenic trails, and a climate that supports outdoor activity year-round. If you crave variety, our program also provides opportunities to practice in other locations across the United States, delivering the same high standard of care while expanding your professional footprint. Whether you’re treating a veteran returning to sport, a post-arthroplasty patient, or a pediatric client working through developmental milestones, you’ll enjoy a setting that fosters curiosity and collaboration. The state’s distinctive blend of desert skies and mountain air stimulates not only wellness but a sense of adventure—perfect for clinicians who find inspiration in the environment as they plan sessions, track progress, and celebrate milestones with patients and families.
In this Travel Physical Therapist role, you’ll assume responsibilities central to orthopedic and general rehabilitation practice, with emphasis on functional restoration and patient-centered outcomes. Core duties include comprehensive assessments, prescribing and supervising therapeutic exercise programs, manual therapy techniques, gait and balance retraining, and the implementation of evidence-based interventions that align with each patient’s goals. You’ll document progress, adapt plans as needs evolve, and communicate clearly with physicians, nurses, and care coordinators to coordinate discharge planning and community reintegration. You’ll have opportunities for professional growth within the specialty—whether that means pursuing advanced certifications, leading patient education initiatives, mentoring new staff, or participating in interdisciplinary case conferences. The role offers you the stability of guaranteed hours and the flexibility to extend beyond the initial assignment if you find a perfect fit, with extensions designed to support continuity of care for patients you’ve helped and for your own career trajectory.
Benefits are designed to recognize your expertise and your life outside the clinic. In addition to competitive compensation, you’ll have access to a sign-on or completion bonus, housing assistance to ease transition, and the potential for extension opportunities that align with both your professional interests and the healthcare needs of the communities you serve. You’ll enjoy the reassurance of 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team, ensuring you always have a resource to call when you’re navigating new clinics, scheduling changes, or urgent situations while you’re on assignment. Our program emphasizes not just clinical excellence but a holistic approach to staff well-being, including robust safety protocols, onboarding that respects your experience, and ongoing access to continuing education resources. You’ll be supported by a network of experienced clinicians and coordinators who understand the realities of travel assignments and who are committed to helping you thrive in every setting you encounter.
Company values center on empowering you as a professional—putting growth, stability, and collaboration at the heart of every assignment. We’re dedicated to advancing your career with purposeful opportunities, a supportive practice culture, and a shared commitment to high-quality patient care. You’ll be part of a community that celebrates clinical excellence, respects diverse clinical perspectives, and recognizes the unique contributions you bring to each patient’s journey. The organization believes in transparent communication, fair workload distribution, and a culture of continuous improvement where feedback from clinicians informs program evolution. By choosing this path, you’re joining a company that views your development as a priority and your well-being as essential to delivering outstanding outcomes for patients and communities.
