Job Description
Job DescriptionStep into a purpose-driven role as a Physical Therapy Assistant in White River Junction, Vermont, where every patient interaction becomes a powerful catalyst for independence, resilience, and renewed confidence. As a trusted member of a seasoned therapy team, you’ll apply evidence-based techniques, guide patients through personalized exercise programs, and support them on their journey to back to daily activities, work, and meaningful relationships. This travel assignment is designed to elevate your clinical skills across diverse clinical presentations while you experience the charm of life in a small New England town and the surrounding countryside. You’ll collaborate with physical therapists to implement plans of care, monitor progress, educate patients and families, and document outcomes that demonstrate real-world improvements. Your dedication will help patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to the activities they love, whether that means playing with grandchildren, tending to a garden, navigating stairs with confidence, or returning to the job they enjoy. In this role, you’re not just a clinician on a timetable—you’re a catalyst for patient-centered recovery, a mentor to peers, and a vital link in a supportive care network that values your judgment, compassion, and professional voice. Vermont’s inviting communities offer a backdrop where your work and life can harmonize, with opportunities to grow, learn, and contribute to a culture that celebrates impact and compassion.
