Step into a purposeful Travel Physical Therapist role in Bethel, Alaska, where your clinical expertise will directly elevate the quality of life for communities that value compassionate, person-centered rehab. As you bring evidence-based practice to diverse patient populations, you’ll have the chance to shape recovery pathways, empower clients to reclaim mobility, and collaborate with an adaptable team dedicated to excellence. This is more than a contract—it’s an opportunity to make a lasting impact in a region renowned for its remarkable landscapes and resilient, welcoming people. Bethel sits at the heart of Alaska’s cultural crossroads, framed by vast rivers and pristine wilderness, offering moments of quiet reflection after a day of meaningful care. Beyond Bethel, the role opens doors to experiences across the state and the U.S., from intimate rural clinics to dynamic hospital settings, all while contributing to comprehensive rehabilitation that respects each patient’s goals.

Location Benefits: Alaska’s Bethel region offers a unique blend of close-knit community care and adventurous living. In this role you’ll work with diverse patient demographics, from veterans and children to adults navigating recovery after injury or illness. The setting rewards clinicians who value autonomy, creative problem-solving, and interprofessional collaboration. For those who crave variety, there are opportunities to work in other locations across the U.S., expanding your professional horizons while maintaining the trusted, community-focused approach you bring to the table. The experience here is deeply personal—small-town camaraderie, access to outdoor recreation during off days, and a chance to serve in environments where every skill you bring matters. You’ll also benefit from a robust support network designed to help you adapt quickly—our team coordinates logistics, housing options, travel, and scheduling with care, so you can focus on delivering exceptional care.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Physical Therapist in this travel assignment, you’ll assess functional mobility, design and implement patient-centered treatment plans, and progress therapeutic strategies aligned with current best practices. You’ll provide timely evaluations, set measurable goals, document progress, and partner with physicians, case managers, and families to ensure seamless transitions from therapy to home or community settings. The role emphasizes ongoing professional growth—opportunities to deepen your specialty in neuro, ortho, pediatrics, or geriatrics; access to continuing education resources; and the chance to mentor newer staff or share expertise across facilities. Competitive compensation is a hallmark of this opportunity, with a weekly pay range of $2,571-$2,685 and 32 guaranteed hours per week, starting February 10, 2026. We also offer a sign-on or completion bonus, housing assistance to simplify relocation, and extension opportunities that let you extend your contract if you find the fit and the team resonates with your professional goals. You’ll enjoy comprehensive support from a dedicated travel team, including 24/7 assistance while you’re on assignment, ensuring that you have help with scheduling, housing, travel changes, or any urgent needs that arise on the road. Our approach respects your time and expertise, enabling you to deliver high-quality care while balancing personal well-being and professional satisfaction.
