Job DescriptionStep into a dynamic Travel Physical Therapist role that blends clinical excellence with a coastal backdrop in California’s Bay Area, anchored by Oakland’s thriving medical community. As a Physical Therapist dedicated to restoring mobility, you’ll influence recovery trajectories, empower patients to reclaim independence, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver patient-centered care that truly moves lives forward. This multi-week assignment invites you to apply evidence-based interventions, tailor plans to individual goals, and navigate a diverse caseload that challenges and expands your clinical repertoire. From post-injury rehabilitation to chronic condition management, your expertise will help patients return to work, school, and everyday activities with confidence. This is more than a job; it’s a platform to elevate your practice while enjoying the richness of California’s landscapes, cultures, and communities. Location Benefits: Oakland sits at the crossroads of innovation and culture, offering a mild climate, stunning views of the bay, and easy access to scenic escapes—from the Marin Headlands to the redwood groves of East Bay parks. In Oakland you’ll find a mosaic of neighborhoods, vibrant food scenes, and a calendar full of arts, music, and farmers markets. The city’s proximity to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and renowned medical centers creates unparalleled networking and professional opportunities. Beyond Oakland, this role opens pathways to travel across California and the broader United States, giving you exposure to outpatient clinics, inpatient settings, and specialty rehabilitation environments. You’ll benefit from living in a region known for its dynamic healthcare ecosystem, where collaboration with therapists, physicians, and other professionals fosters innovation and rapid skill development. And for those who crave variety, the chance to work in multiple locations across the U.S. can broaden your clinical perspective, sharpen adaptability, and deepen your professional resilience. Role Specifics and Benefits: Your primary responsibilities will include comprehensive patient evaluations, development and execution of personalized treatment plans, and ongoing reassessment to optimize functional outcomes. You’ll perform therapeutic interventions ranging from therapeutic exercises and manual therapy to neuromuscular re-education, gait training, balance and proprioception activities, and mobility restoration. Documentation will be precise and timely, ensuring seamless communication with care teams and alignment with payer requirements. You’ll educate patients and families on home exercise programs, injury prevention strategies, and wellness practices to sustain progress between visits. The position offers guaranteed hours at 40 per week, with a competitive weekly pay range of $2,650-$2,844, reflecting your experience and the scope of practice. Growing in your specialty is a natural focus here. You’ll have access to mentorship opportunities, continuing education, and collaboration with seasoned clinicians across orthopedics, neuro-rehabilitation, pediatrics, and geriatrics. This setting provides a breadth of clinical exposure that strengthens assessment accuracy, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making, while also supporting your pursuit of specialty certifications or advanced modalities. The dream package includes a bonus structure to recognize exceptional performance, housing assistance to ease relocation and temporary housing needs, and extension opportunities that enable you to continue making an impact with the same compassionate team if you choose to. In addition, you’ll receive robust support from our 24/7 travel program, ensuring you’re never alone on the road. From credentialing assistance and orientation to on-call assistance and real-time problem solving, our dedicated travel support team is available around the clock to address housing, transportation, or clinical questions, ensuring you stay focused on patient care and professional growth. Company Values: We are committed to empowering our staff with opportunities for career advancement, a nurturing work environment, and a culture that values curiosity, integrity, and patient-centered care. Our mission centers on collaboration, continuous learning, and recognizing the essential contributions of therapists like you who shape recovery, independence, and quality of life.

This is a place where your clinical voice matters, your development goals are supported, and your dedication is celebrated as you help reshape rehabilitation outcomes across diverse settings. Call to Action: If you’re an enthusiastic, patient-focused Physical Therapist ready to explore California’s Bay Area while delivering high-impact rehabilitation services, we want to hear from you. Embrace the opportunity to grow within a travel program that champions your clinical excellence, provides comprehensive benefits, and offers the stability of guaranteed hours.
