Job Description:

Job Description Job Description Step into a pivotal role as a Physical Therapist specializing in movement and rehabilitation, and bring your expertise to Fernley, Nevada, for a rewarding travel assignment that starts on February 16, 2026. This is more than a job—it's an opportunity to guide patients back to independence, restore confidence in mobility, and impact families and communities across the region. As a PT focused on functional recovery, you will design individualized plans, apply evidence-based techniques, and celebrate milestones as clients reclaim daily activities, sports, work tasks, and personal passions. You’ll join a team that values precision, empathy, and continuous learning, with a clear path to grow within the physical therapy specialty as you refine manual skills, gait training strategies, and outcome-driven care. Nevada’s vast, diverse landscapes—desert sunrises, forested trails, and alpine backdrops—offer a backdrop where your clinical excellence can thrive and your care can shine in meaningful ways, whether you’re helping a patient regain a weekend hiking routine or returning someone to a long-awaited athletic pursuit. Fernley combines the charm of a close-knit Nevada community with the energy of the region’s outdoor wonders. Working here means you can enjoy the convenience of a welcoming town with access to Reno’s cultural amenities, while also savoring serene mornings along the Truckee River and easy escapes to nearby lakes and trails. The location brings a practical balance of stability and opportunity: reliable housing options, supportive local networks, and the chance to immerse yourself in a community that appreciates your professional contributions. For those who relish variety, the assignment also offers the potential to broaden your impact by connecting with different patient populations across sites within the U.S., gaining exposure to diverse care settings and case mix that deepen clinical expertise and adaptability. And amid the striking scenery, you’ll find a lifestyle that complements your clinical energy—time for hiking, boating, and starlit evenings after a rewarding day in therapy. In this role, you’ll deliver comprehensive physical therapy services tailored to each patient’s goals. Core responsibilities include conducting thorough evaluations, interpreting clinical findings, developing and implementing individualized treatment plans, and tracking progress with clear, measurable outcomes. You’ll apply a broad toolkit of therapeutic techniques—from therapeutic exercise and neuromuscular reeducation to gait training and manual therapy—while coordinating care with physicians, nurses, and rehabilitation teammates. As you engage patients in meaningful activities and home exercise programs, you’ll mentor them toward independence and safety in daily routines. The position supports professional growth within the physical therapy specialty through ongoing mentorship and access to advanced practice opportunities, including specialty certifications and enhanced clinical decision-making. You’ll also enjoy a competitive compensation package featuring a signing bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend your assignment based on performance and client needs. The travel model includes robust, 24/7 support from our dedicated team, ensuring you have reliable guidance and resources wherever your assignments take you. Weekly pay ranges from $2,075 to $2,189, with guaranteed hours of 32 per week, providing financial predictability as you plan your season in Nevada. Beyond standard benefits, we’re committed to your well-being and professional flourishing. The role emphasizes clear pathways for career advancement within the physical therapy field, supportive leadership, and a work environment that recognizes your dedication to patient-centered care. You’ll be part of a culture that values continuous improvement, ethical practice, and collaborative problem-solving—an environment designed to empower you to pursue additional certifications, broaden your clinical scope, and contribute to evidence-based care that elevates the patient experience. We understand the demands of travel therapy and respond with a comprehensive support network: 24/7 assistance for housing, transportation logistics, credentialing, and on-site guidance whenever you need it. We believe in rewarding performance with opportunities for extension of your contract, allowing you to extend meaningful relationships with patients and facilities while continuing to refine your clinical approach in diverse settings. We invite you to apply and envision a career chapter where your expertise not only advances patient outcomes but also enriches your own professional journey. This is your chance to join a company that values your contribution and investment in ongoing development, appreciating the balance between high-quality clinical care and a rewarding lifestyle.
