Starkville, MS
Contracted
Powerback - Contract Starkville Manor Health Care and Rehabilitation Center
Mid Level
Step into a purpose‑driven Travel Physical Therapist role in Mississippi, Starkville, where your clinical expertise becomes a catalyst for restored independence, renewed confidence, and measurable improvements in patients’ daily lives. This is more than a contract—it’s an opportunity to shape rehab journeys across diverse settings while you contribute to a community that values care, collaboration, and outcomes. As you assess, plan, and guide therapy, you’ll witness the tangible impact of your work—from helping a patient return to work to enabling an elder to reclaim cherished activities with family. Your expertise will be supported by a network designed to elevate clinical practice, with a Start Date of 03/16/2026 and assignments that honor your skills, curiosity, and professional growth. And beyond the clinic doors, Mississippi reveals its own appeal: tree‑lined campuses, river towns, dramatic sunsets along the Pearl River, a thriving cultural scene, and friendly communities ready to welcome you as part of the neighborhood for the duration of your journey.
Starkville offers the best of a vibrant college town, grounded in Southern hospitality, culinary diversity, and an active arts and sports scene, all set against a backdrop of natural beauty. You’ll enjoy the advantages of working in a community that values education, collaboration, and patient‑centered care, with the option to expand your horizons through assignments in other U.S. locations. The role provides a robust baseline with 35 guaranteed hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $2,411–$2,566, ensuring you have stability as you pursue professional goals. In addition to dependable compensation, the position includes a compelling bonus structure, housing assistance to simplify relocation, and meaningful extension opportunities that let you deepen your impact with patients and teams you come to trust. For travel clinicians, the promise of variety—new facilities, new colleagues, and fresh clinical challenges—adds incomparable value, while maintaining a stable core of practice and patient relationships in Starkville or neighboring communities.
In this role, your responsibilities center on comprehensive evaluation, evidence‑based treatment planning, and ongoing measurement of progress. You’ll conduct initial assessments to determine functional limitations, design individualized rehabilitation plans, and implement interventions that address mobility, gait, balance, wheelchair and seating needs, pain management, and activity tolerance. You’ll document outcomes, adjust approaches based on patient response, and collaborate with physicians, nurses, case managers, and therapy aides to coordinate care. The setting may span outpatient clinics, inpatient units, or transitional care environments, all offering opportunities to refine musculoskeletal, neurological, and geriatric rehabilitation skills. The position emphasizes professional growth within the Physical Therapy specialty, with access to mentorship and continuing education that supports specialization in orthopedics, neuro rehab, pediatrics, or geriatrics. The package includes not only the clinical experience you seek but the structural support you need to advance: competitive bonus arrangements, housing assistance, and the possibility to extend assignments to broaden your portfolio and deepen patient impact.
A cornerstone of this opportunity is the company’s commitment to your success and well‑being. You’ll join a culture that empowers staff, values curiosity and integrity, and prioritizes a supportive work environment where your clinical judgment is respected and your professional voice is heard. You’ll find a network of travel coordinators, credentialing specialists, and on‑the‑ground supports ready to assist at any hour, day or night. The 24/7 support available while you travel ensures you’re never alone on the road or in a new facility—whether you need help with housing logistics, facility onboarding, or navigating regulatory requirements, help is just a call or message away. The emphasis on collaboration means you’ll have access to experienced peers who share best practices, discuss complex cases, and celebrate clinical milestones as part of a broader community of rehabilitation professionals.
If you’re drawn to a role that blends clinical excellence with real‑world impact, this assignment presents the right blend of challenge and reward. The opportunity to explore Mississippi’s beauty—from the lively town atmosphere of Starkville to nearby natural areas, historic towns, and seasonal events—complements a stimulating professional path. You’ll be positioned to build a strong resume of varied patient populations and care settings, while enjoying the stability of guaranteed hours and the flexibility to pursue extensions that align with your personal and professional objectives. The company’s values center on empowering clinicians to grow, supporting them with resources, and fostering an environment where compassionate care and continuous improvement drive every patient interaction.

Begin your journey on 03/16/2026, enjoy guaranteed 35 hours weekly, and benefit from a competitive weekly pay of $2,411–$2,566, plus a bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities.
