This travel assignment offers you the chance to apply your clinical expertise across a range of clinics while immersing yourself in a vibrant region known for its southern hospitality and rich cultural landscape. Beyond the role, you can explore Georgia’s beauty—from the towering granite of Stone Mountain to the forest trails of the Blue Ridge, and from historic Savannah’s charm to the buzzing arts scene around Atlanta. Each assignment is an opportunity to grow, learn, and leave a lasting positive impact on every patient you treat.

Role specifics and benefits: As a Physical Therapist in this travel capacity, you will perform comprehensive evaluations, develop and implement individualized treatment plans, and use a broad spectrum of therapeutic modalities to restore strength, mobility, and function. You’ll guide patients through gait training, balance work, endurance programs, preventive strategies, and education that empowers self-management. Collaboration with physicians, therapists, nurses, and support staff ensures integrated care and consistent outcomes across settings. The position offers strong professional growth within the specialty, with exposure to diverse case mix, settings, and patient populations, from orthopedic post-op rehabilitation to neurological and geriatric programs depending on site. Competitive compensation includes weekly pay in the range of $1,817 to $1,852, with housing assistance, a sign-on bonus, and opportunities to extend the assignment if you and the team align. Note that hours are not guaranteed; you will be scheduled to meet patient needs and facility requirements. You can expect a comprehensive support structure, including a dedicated travel coordinator, resources for documentation and licensing, and 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company. You will also have access to ongoing clinical mentorship, evidence-based practice resources, and opportunities to pursue specialty certifications as you grow.
