Travel Physical Therapist Job
Albany, OR
Contracted
Samaritan Albany General Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic Travel Physical Therapist opportunity in Albany, Oregon, where your commitment to rehabilitation translates into meaningful, lasting impact for patients and communities. This contract role invites you to bring your expertise to a welcoming setting that blends clinical excellence with the adventure of travel. You’ll operate with 40 guaranteed hours each week, starting on 03/12/2026, and earning a competitive weekly pay in the range of $2,285 to $2,300. In addition to a performance-based bonus, housing assistance, and the possibility of extension opportunities, this assignment is designed to empower you to grow within your specialty while enjoying the distinctive character of Oregon. Envision delivering patient-centered care that advances functional recovery, improves mobility, and restores independence across diverse clinical environments. And when you’re off duty, the state’s natural beauty—Crater Lake’s sapphire depths, the rugged Oregon Coast, the rolling vineyards of the Willamette Valley, and the evergreen splendor of the Cascade foothills—offers countless ways to recharge and explore.
Oregon’s Albany region presents a compelling setting for a traveling clinician. Nestled in the mid-Willamette Valley, Albany combines small-town charm with access to metropolitan opportunities in nearby Corvallis and Eugene. The locale supports a healthy work-life balance with outdoor leisure at your doorstep: hiking and biking along river trails, fishing along tranquil streams, or a day trip to Mount Hood for a dramatic alpine change of scenery. Alongside these natural attractions, Albany offers local cultural events, welcoming neighborhoods, and a community-focused mindset that makes collaboration with fellow clinicians and staff meaningful. The position also provides flexibility to work across additional locations in Oregon or within the company’s broader network, allowing you to experience different patient populations while maintaining the stability of a 40-hour schedule and predictable compensation.
In this role, you will assess, plan, and implement physical therapy interventions tailored to patients recovering from surgery, managing orthopedic and neurological conditions, and addressing mobility limitations across inpatient and outpatient settings. Core responsibilities include evaluating functional status, designing evidence-based treatment plans, applying manual therapy techniques, prescribing therapeutic exercises, and using modalities to alleviate pain and improve function. You’ll document progress, communicate with physicians and the care team, and adjust plans as patients advance toward goals. The position supports professional growth within the physical therapy specialty through ongoing education, mentorship from experienced clinicians, and opportunities to specialize in areas like gait rehabilitation, neurorehabilitation, or post-acute care. We emphasize a collaborative environment where you can lead with clinical judgment while seeking input from colleagues, ensuring comprehensive, patient-centered care. The compensation package is designed to recognize your expertise, with a competitive base pay, a performance bonus, and housing assistance that helps reduce the logistical burden of travel. You’ll also benefit from reliable extension opportunities, allowing you to continue making an impact with patient cohorts you’ve come to know and trust.
Our commitment to you goes beyond patient care. The company values your professional voice and personal growth, offering a supportive culture that prioritizes career advancement, skill enhancement, and work-life harmony. You’ll find 24/7 support as you travel with the company, including access to coordination teams, clinical colleagues, and resource specialists who can assist with housing logistics, licensing, credentialing, and scheduling. This integrated support framework is designed to keep you focused on delivering high-quality therapy while providing reassurance and practical help whenever you need it. The organization believes in empowering clinicians to define their trajectories, with clear pathways for specialization, leadership, and broader clinical influence across sites.
If you are a dedicated Physical Therapist ready to elevate your practice while exploring Oregon’s outdoors and fulfilling patient-centered goals, this opportunity is crafted for you. We invite you to apply and join a team that values your clinical judgment, respects your time, and invests in your professional development. Ready to begin a journey that blends clinical excellence with the freedom of travel, supported by robust benefits and a community that celebrates every milestone of your career? Apply now to secure a role that honors your contributions, nurtures your growth, and helps you shape the future of rehabilitation. Please 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.
