Role specifics and benefits: As a PTA on assignment, you’ll assist the supervising physical therapist in implementing evidence-based plans, help patients perform therapeutic activities to restore strength, range of motion, balance, and functional mobility, and contribute to discharge planning and education. You’ll support gait training, assist with supervised modalities, monitor vitals as directed, document progress notes, and communicate patient responses to the care team. The position offers ample opportunities for professional development within physical therapy—whether you’re strengthening orthopedics competencies, expanding neuro-rehab skills, or exploring pediatric or geriatric rehab tracks. In addition to competitive weekly pay, you’ll have access to a signing bonus where offered, housing assistance to ease relocation, and the potential for extension on succeeding assignments. We also provide comprehensive support, including 24/7 help line and on-demand assistance for travelers, ensuring you’re never alone while navigating new facilities, schedules, or patient needs.
