Glenwood Springs, CO
Contracted
Valley View Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on an empowering Travel Physical Therapist journey in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where your expertise will unlock movement, reduce pain, and restore independence for patients across diverse settings. This is more than a contract—it’s a chance to make a lasting impact in a community celebrated for its natural beauty and active lifestyle. From the warmth of the town to the majesty of the surrounding mountains, Colorado offers a backdrop that inspires excellence. Picture mornings filled with fresh mountain air, afternoons exploring historic streets, and evenings unwinding in hot springs after meaningful patient outcomes. This role enables you to contribute your specialty as a Physical Therapist while embracing the spirit of travel, learning, and professional growth. Start date is 12/23/2025, with a contracted period designed to maximize your impact while you experience the vitality and scenery of one of America’s most beloved states. The assignment is offered for several weeks, with a guaranteed 40 hours per week, so you can plan with confidence and maximize your earning potential.
Working in Glenwood Springs, you’ll discover a locale that rewards outdoor enthusiasts and care professionals alike. The area’s breathtaking scenery—the Colorado River carving through canyons, alpine trails, and the famous hot springs—provides a unique environment for rehabilitation work that often intersects with restorative outdoor activities. You’ll also appreciate Colorado’s broader opportunities, including access to a network of facilities across the U.S. that values skilled therapists who can adapt to varied clinical contexts. Whether you’re collaborating with orthopedic teams, neuro-rehab programs, or outpatient services, you’ll see how the area’s health ecosystems support innovative care. The travel model keeps your professional horizon broad, exposing you to a range of settings while maintaining the consistency and continuity you value in your practice. And if you love the mountains, you’ll never run out of nearby adventures—whether you’re skiing, hiking, or simply enjoying Colorado’s renowned sunshine after a day of meaningful clinical work.
In this role, your responsibilities will center on patient-centered evaluation, individualized treatment planning, and evidence-based interventions that accelerate recovery and functional independence. You’ll conduct comprehensive assessments, design and implement therapeutic protocols, track progress, and adjust plans as needed to meet each patient’s goals. Documentation will reflect clinical reasoning and outcomes, ensuring seamless communication with the broader care team. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, and therapy aides to optimize discharge planning and community reintegration. The position also emphasizes continuing professional growth: opportunities to deepen specialization within physical therapy, participate in multidisciplinary rounds, and engage in case discussions that sharpen clinical judgment. You’ll enjoy competitive compensation ranging from $2,161 to $2,319 per week, with guaranteed 40 hours per week, providing you with financial stability as you navigate diverse assignments. A sign-on bonus recognizes your expertise and commitment, while housing assistance helps simplify transitions between locations. When assignments extend or you decide to pursue additional opportunities, extension options are readily available, giving you the flexibility to prolong rewarding placements that align with your career trajectory.
Our program delivers comprehensive support designed to empower you every step of the way. You’ll have access to 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never alone in adapting to new facilities, documentation systems, or patient populations. This enduring safeguard is matched by practical benefits: housing assistance to minimize relocation stress, a competitive weekly pay scale, and the assurance that your guaranteed hours remain a constant during this travel experience. As you grow within the specialty of Physical Therapy, you’ll discover pathways to leadership, mentorship for newer clinicians, and a collaborative culture that values curiosity, resilience, and patient-first care. You’ll work with partners who understand the demands of travel therapy and who invest in your wellbeing and professional success, transforming each assignment into a stepping stone toward greater clinical mastery.
The company’s values center on empowerment, ongoing career advancement, and a supportive, inclusive environment where therapists feel seen, heard, and equipped to flourish. We’re dedicated to helping you build a resilient practice, expand your clinical repertoire, and cultivate confidence as you navigate varied patient populations and care settings.
