Travel Physical Therapy Assistant Job

Lebanon, OR
Contracted
Samaritan Lebanon
Mid Level
Step into a transformative role as a Physical Therapy Assistant in Lebanon, Oregon, where every patient encounter is a chance to restore independence, rebuild confidence, and improve daily life. You will work alongside skilled physical therapists to support rehabilitation across outpatient and acute care settings, guiding patients through therapeutic exercises, balance training, functional retraining, and pain management. Your hands-on care will help people regain mobility after injury, surgery, or illness while you sharpen assessment skills, learn to tailor plans to individual goals, and grow in clinical confidence. The assignment begins on 03/19/2026 and is designed for a contract spanning several weeks, offering steady opportunities to impact lives from day one. Lebanon offers a welcoming, small‑town environment with close-knit communities, fast access to outdoor adventures, and a rhythm that supports work‑life balance. The state’s diverse landscapes—from forested foothills and winding rivers to wine country and scenic drives—provide inspiration and weekend exploration. This assignment also opens doors to chances to support assignments across varied locations in the United States, expanding your clinical exposure and professional network.

Lebanon’s compact size means shorter commutes and more patient-centered time, while easy access to nearby Salem and Eugene provides cultural events, educational opportunities, and professional connections. Working in Oregon means a strong emphasis on team-based care and quality outcomes, with resources to keep you current in practice. There may be opportunities to travel to additional locations for shorter or longer terms, enabling you to experience different clinics, patient populations, and care settings while maintaining the stability of guaranteed 40 hours per week.

Key responsibilities include assisting physical therapists with patient evaluations, implementing treatment plans, and guiding exercises, gait training, and balance activities. You’ll apply modalities under supervision, monitor vitals and safety, document progress, and contribute to discharge planning. You’ll educate patients and families, promote adherence to home programs, and help modify activities to support functional independence. The role supports professional growth within the physical therapy specialty: deepen orthopedic, geriatric, pediatric, or neurologic rehab skills; pursue certifications; participate in mentorships and case reviews; and position yourself for leadership roles as you gain experience. Benefits include a sign-on bonus, housing assistance or stipends, and potential extensions to continue assignments beyond the initial term. You’ll receive guaranteed hours at 40 per week, with weekly pay in the range of 1,321 to 1,434; exact figures are confirmed during hiring. The organization provides 24/7 travel support, a dedicated clinical liaison, and rapid access to resources to help you navigate life on the road with confidence.

At the core, the company is committed to empowering staff through career advancement, ongoing learning, and a supportive work culture that values collaboration and compassion. If you’re ready to apply your knowledge, grow your expertise, and make a lasting difference in Lebanon and beyond, this is your moment. Join a team that respects your contributions and invests in your professional development. Apply now and start a rewarding journey with a respected organization that prioritizes patient outcomes and the people who deliver them.

Note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
