Embark on a meaningful journey as a Travel Physical Therapy Assistant in Maryland, where you will partner with seasoned therapists to guide patients through function-restoring rehabilitation. In this role, you’ll apply evidence-based techniques, monitor progress, adapt activity plans, and educate patients and families to empower independence. With a start date of January 12, 2026, you can anticipate a flexible assignment length measured in weeks, guaranteed 35 hours per week, and weekly compensation in the range of $1,390 to $1,512. This is more than a job; it is an opportunity to grow your clinical repertoire across diverse settings while embracing the adventure of travel. Separately, Maryland’s beauty awaits—whether you explore Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and thriving arts scene, Annapolis’s maritime charm, or the scenic shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay, each stop adds depth to your professional journey and personal exploration.

Working in Waldorf places you in a welcoming, family-friendly suburb just outside the nation’s capital, with easy access to parks, museums, dining, and regional attractions. Waldorf offers convenient commutes to major hospitals and outpatient clinics, a supportive community network, and the advantage of affordable housing options to help you settle in quickly.

In addition to professional growth, you’ll enjoy the region’s distinctive balance of urban energy and peaceful suburban living, with day trips to the bay, national monuments, or nature trails enriching every week.

Role specifics and benefits: As a Physical Therapy Assistant, you’ll implement and adjust treatment plans under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist, conduct therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, gait and mobility training, and functional activities tailored to each patient’s goals. You’ll monitor responses to interventions, document progress, assist with patient education on home exercise programs, and ensure safety and compliance during therapy sessions. You may operate and maintain equipment, prepare treatment spaces, and collaborate with nurses, chiropractors, and case managers to coordinate comprehensive care. The position offers opportunities for professional growth within the specialty through mentorship, continuing education support, potential specialty certifications, and extensions that let you deepen your expertise with our clinical teams. We emphasize competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $1,390 to $1,512, plus a bonus structure, housing assistance, and flexible extension opportunities that align with your career trajectory. Comprehensive travel support is provided, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team while you’re traveling with the company, ensuring that you have help when you need it, day or night.

Company values: The organization is committed to empowering its staff through transparent career pathways, supportive leadership, and a culture built on inclusion, collaboration, and patient-centered care. We invest in your professional development with ongoing training, mentorship, and opportunities to expand your skill set within the Physical Therapy Assistant discipline.
