Travel Physical Therapist Job
Lockhart, TX
Contracted
Parkview Nursing and Rehab
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Physical Therapist in Texas, bringing expert care to patients who are eager to regain mobility and independence. In Lockhart, a welcoming community tucked in the heart of Central Texas, you’ll blend evidence-based practice with compassionate connection, guiding patients through rehabilitative journeys that restore function and confidence. This role not only elevates your clinical skills in physical therapy but amplifies your impact—helping people move freely, reclaim their routines, and return to the activities they love. The opportunity invites you to contribute to a patient-centered culture while enjoying the rich charm of a Texas town known for its warmth, strong community ties, and a vibrant weekend scene. Beyond the clinic, picture weekends spent exploring Hill Country landscapes, historic downtown squares, and the unique flavors of Texas—culminating in Lockhart’s celebrated barbecue heritage, a town square steeped in history, and easy access to bigger cities for broader cultural experiences. If you crave meaningful patient outcomes and a chance to grow in a supportive, fast-paced setting, this assignment is for you.
Working in Lockhart offers an appealing blend of close-knit community feel and professional opportunity. You’ll experience a manageable cost of living, easy commutes, and a schedule that respects work-life balance, all while being part of a region famed for outdoor beauty, music, and culinary traditions. The location provides convenient access to Austin and San Antonio for weekend explorations, live performances, and regional events, enriching your time off with diverse cultural experiences. For those who enjoy the mobility and variety of travel assignments, this program also presents the option to work in multiple locations across the U.S., expanding your clinical exposure, refining your specialties, and broadening your professional network. You’ll encounter a wide range of patient populations and rehabilitation needs—from post-surgical and ortho-focused rehab to neuromuscular and geriatric programs—within settings that encourage collaboration, continuous learning, and a patient-first philosophy. The environment is designed to honor your expertise while giving you autonomy, support, and opportunities to contribute to program development and quality improvement initiatives.
Your role as a Physical Therapist centers on delivering high-quality, evidence-based care designed to restore function and enhance independence. You’ll conduct comprehensive assessments, develop and adjust individualized treatment plans, implement therapeutic interventions (manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, gait training, balance and proprioception work, functional mobility training, and assistive technology), and monitor progress toward goals. Collaboration is key: you’ll coordinate with physicians, nurses, case managers, and therapy aides to ensure seamless transitions from hospital to home, outpatient settings, or community programs. Documentation and communication will be thorough, timely, and aligned with best practices and regulatory standards. You’ll have opportunities for ongoing professional growth, with potential pathways into advanced orthopedics, neurorehabilitation, pediatrics, or geriatrics, supported by mentorship, a continuing education stipend, and access to clinical resources that keep you at the cutting edge of rehabilitation science. The position offers a compelling package: weekly pay ranging from $1,942 to $2,077, guaranteed hours of 36 per week, and a multi-week assignment designed to fit your career rhythm. In addition to competitive compensation, there is a housing assistance component to ease relocation and daily living, and extension opportunities that reward performance, dedication, and a collaborative approach to care. A dedicated support network stands ready 24/7 to assist you while you travel with the company, ensuring travel logistics, clinical questions, and any urgent needs are addressed promptly so you can focus on patient outcomes and professional satisfaction.
The company’s values center on empowerment, collaboration, and long-term development. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes your career advancement, provides a supportive work environment, and fosters a community of professionals committed to compassionate care and continuous learning. Expect mentorship from seasoned clinicians, access to resources that strengthen clinical reasoning and technical skills, and a transparent pathway to grow within a national network that values your expertise, voice, and contributions. The organization believes in recognizing talent, celebrating progress, and investing in people as the foundation of exceptional patient care, with an emphasis on inclusivity, wellness, and a respectful, team-based approach to every assignment.
If you’re ready to combine clinical excellence with the excitement and flexibility of travel, this is your moment. Apply now to join a company that values your impact and invests in your development. The start date is March 16, 2026, with a contractual framework that guarantees 36 hours per week and a pay range designed to reflect your expertise. You’ll receive housing assistance, potential extension opportunities, and access to a robust support system that travels with you, offering 24/7 assistance, travel coordination, and clinical resources as you work across diverse settings. Embrace a role where your patient outcomes matter, your professional growth is a priority, and your experience helps shape the future of physical therapy. Note: Hours and pay ranges listed are estimates and will be confirmed during the hiring process.
