Step into a dynamic Travel Physical Therapist role designed for clinicians who aspire to make a measurable impact in rehabilitation across diverse settings. Starting February 2, 2026, you’ll embark on a contract that blends clinical autonomy with robust support, delivering high-quality care to patients while expanding your expertise in physical therapy practice. This opportunity centers on optimizing movement, reducing pain, and restoring independence for individuals navigating post-injury, post-surgical recovery, or chronic conditions. As you step into Piscataway, New Jersey, you’ll discover a community that values evidence-based practice, compassionate patient interaction, and continuous learning. Our program also invites you to explore the beauty and variety of New Jersey—from green, tree-lined campuses to vibrant town centers, historic districts, and easy access to parks and coastal escapes. You’ll feel the energy of a state that mixes dynamic urban culture with tranquil suburban living, offering weekend adventures from the shore to the countryside. Whether you’re drawn to the history-rich streets of nearby towns, the outdoor trails along the Raritan River, or the cultural amenities of Middlesex County, this assignment is designed to broaden your professional perspective while you deepen your clinical impact.
Location benefits are a cornerstone of this opportunity. Piscataway places you in the heart of central New Jersey, a convenient hub that puts you within reach of major cities, renowned hospitals, academic centers, and a network of clinical partners. The commute is manageable, and you’ll be part of a supportive travel team that values your well-being. Beyond Piscataway, the program offers rotational opportunities across select locations nationwide, giving you exposure to varied patient populations, facility models, and clinical approaches. This flexibility enhances your resume, expands your referral base, and helps you build a versatile skill set that adapts to the evolving landscape of physical therapy. You’ll be immersed in environments that challenge you to refine manual techniques, gait training protocols, vestibular rehabilitation, and functional mobility strategies, all while enjoying the unique experiences that living and practicing in New Jersey—and potentially across the United States—provide.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your clinical leadership and professional growth. In this role, you’ll conduct comprehensive evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, implement evidence-based interventions, and monitor progress toward functional goals. You’ll lead therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, neuro-musculoskeletal rehab, and tailored home exercise programs, collaborating with physicians, nurses, therapists, and support staff to ensure continuity of care. Your responsibilities will also include documenting patient outcomes, adjusting plans as needed, and educating patients and families to maximize independence and safe home execution of exercises. The position emphasizes growth within the Physical Therapy specialty, with opportunities to deepen expertise in orthopedics, geriatrics, pediatrics, or neurorehabilitation based on your interests and facility needs. Competitive compensation adds to the appeal: weekly pay between $2,195 and $2,270, with guaranteed hours of 35 per week, and a contract duration measured in weeks. To support your transition and housing needs, we offer housing assistance or stipends, with potential for contract extensions based on performance and facility demand. A lucrative bonus structure is available to recognize your clinical impact and teamwork. You’ll receive comprehensive, round-the-clock support from our dedicated travel team—24/7 availability to help with housing, scheduling, travel concerns, or clinical questions—so you can focus on delivering excellent care. We partner with you to align assignments with your career goals, letting you extend or transition as opportunities arise, while maintaining quality patient outcomes and work-life balance.
