Step into a dynamic travel role as a Physical Therapy Assistant in Texas, specifically Angleton, where compassionate care meets the warmth of Southern hospitality. In this specialty-focused opportunity, you’ll partner with seasoned therapists to guide patients through mobility restoration, pain reduction, and functional independence. Your hands-on support will empower individuals to reclaim daily activities, from navigating stairs at home to returning to work and social participation. This is more than a contract; it’s a chance to shape lives, continually sharpen your clinical skills, and experience the rich culture of a state renowned for its natural beauty, forward-looking healthcare, and welcoming communities. If you’re drawn to meaningful work and the chance to grow, this role offers you a clear path to advance while making a real difference in people’s everyday lives.

Angleton situates you in a supportive, tight-knit community with easy access to the Gulf Coast, Brazoria County’s parks and waterways, and the broader Houston region. You’ll enjoy a blend of small-town charm and proximity to urban resources, including top-tier medical facilities, vibrant dining and cultural scenes, and outdoor adventures on the water. The location also serves as a launchpad for exploring various other sites across the U.S., giving you exposure to diverse patient populations, treatment environments, and clinical specialties. Each assignment brings new experiences—from outpatient clinics to inpatient rehabilitation units—while guaranteeing you a consistent weekly schedule and the security of 36 guaranteed hours. Weekly pay ranges from $1,381 to $1,491, and your contract begins on 02/02/2026, with assignments designed in multi-week blocks that offer continuity and professional rhythm even as you travel.

As a Physical Therapy Assistant in this program, your role centers on translating the plan of care into tangible progress. You’ll work under the guidance of licensed PTs to implement therapeutic exercises, gait training, balance and proprioception activities, functional mobility tasks, and job-specific rehabilitation plans. You may assist with manual therapy techniques, edema management, and the safe use of modalities, always prioritizing patient comfort, safety, and independence. You’ll document patient responses, adjust activities in collaboration with the supervising physical therapist, and reinforce home exercise programs to maximize outcomes between visits. Your bedside presence will be a constant source of encouragement, education, and empowerment as you help patients reclaim confidence in daily activities—whether recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or returning to demanding occupational duties. This role also offers pathways for professional growth, including exposure to different care settings, mentorship from senior clinicians, and opportunities to deepen your expertise in areas like geriatrics, orthopedics, or neuromuscular rehabilitation.

The program emphasizes competitive benefits designed to acknowledge your expertise and dedication. In addition to a reliable weekly pay scale, you’ll be eligible for a sign-on or performance-based bonus, recognizing your impact from day one. Housing assistance is available to ease relocation logistics, and extension opportunities are frequent for clinicians who demonstrate adaptability, strong collaboration, and a commitment to ongoing learning. You’ll never travel alone: 24/7 support is provided by a dedicated team as you move between assignments, ensuring you have immediate access to guidance, documentation help, and resource connections no matter where your travels take you. The combination of robust support, flexible extension options, and continuous clinical exposure means you can build a resilient, future-ready resume while delivering exceptional patient care in communities that feel like home.

Company values center on empowering staff to grow, advance, and thrive in a supportive, inclusive environment. You’ll be welcomed into a culture that prioritizes professional development, mentorship, and clear pathways to specialization. The organization invests in continuing education, clinically relevant training, and cross-site collaboration so you can expand your competencies while maintaining work–life balance.
