Here you’ll be part of a community that values cutting‑edge rehabilitation alongside a rich maritime heritage. The area offers easy access to waterfront walks, vibrant dining scenes, museums, and family-friendly outdoor experiences. Beyond Newport News, this travel role opens doors to work across multiple locations in the U.S., delivering exposure to varied patient populations, facility cultures, and clinical challenges. This breadth of experience accelerates growth as a Physical Therapy Assistant, sharpening assessment skills, refining treatment strategies, and expanding professional networks. You’ll benefit from a supportive local ecosystem that prioritizes quality patient outcomes, teamwork, and continuous learning, while having the flexibility to discover new communities, rhythms, and landscapes during breaks or extensions between assignments.

Core responsibilities include patient evaluation and re‑evaluation, implementing exercise programs, gait training, balance and strength activities, pain management strategies, assistive device guidance, and supportive discharge planning. You’ll document patient progress accurately, communicate closely with the interdisciplinary team, and adapt approaches to accommodate diverse ages, diagnoses, and facility settings. The role offers substantial professional growth within the Physical Therapy Assistant specialty through hands‑on practice, mentorship opportunities, and exposure to a broad spectrum of case types—from acute rehabilitation to outpatient or long‑term care environments. Benefits emphasize competitive compensation, including a signaled bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities for contract extensions that align with your career trajectory. You’ll appreciate a robust package that supports your mobility: secure weekly pay in the range of $1,234 to $1,348, guaranteed hours of 35 per week, and a contract structure measured in weeks. Comprehensive support is a hallmark of this program, with 24/7 assistance available while you travel with the company, ensuring coverage for housing, logistics, credentialing, and any on‑the‑road needs. You’ll also gain access to continuing education resources, credentialing support, and a collaborative network of clinical peers committed to your ongoing advancement.
