Job Description
Job DescriptionStep into the role of a Travel Physical Therapy Assistant and shape meaningful recoveries across diverse settings within the physical therapy specialty. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to empower patients to reclaim mobility, confidence, and independence while advancing your clinical expertise. Starting February 2, 2026, you will join a dynamic team on a contract that guarantees 35.0 hours per week, with competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,584 to $1,619. You’ll collaborate with licensed therapists to implement evidence-based treatment plans, monitor patient progress, and educate families and caregivers. The opportunity includes potential contract extensions, allowing you to deepen your impact while building professional stamina in a supportive, mobility-focused environment. Massachusetts offers a unique blend of heritage, education, and outdoor appeal, and Great Barrington places you at the heart of the Berkshires, where clinical excellence meets small-town warmth.
Massachusetts is a tapestry of beautiful places and experiences, and this assignment celebrates that variety. In Great Barrington, you’ll find access to scenic trails, rolling hills, and vibrant community events, alongside a thriving arts scene and farm-to-table dining. The state’s coastline, historic towns, and year-round natural beauty invite you to recharge outside clinic hours, while the fall foliage and snowy winters create memorable backdrops for your professional journeys. You’ll have the chance to explore not only the local charm of Great Barrington but also other locations across New England and the U.S., enriching your clinical perspective with diverse patient populations and care environments.
Location Benefits: Working in Great Barrington offers the best of both worlds—hands-on, community-centered care and the flexibility that comes with travel assignments. You’ll serve patients in outpatient clinics and rehabilitation settings that emphasize person-centered care, where your hands-on skills and compassionate communication directly influence outcomes. The area’s supportive networks, access to top-tier facilities, and proximity to nature provide a balanced rhythm for travelers balancing clinical intensity with outdoor renewal. For those who wish to broaden horizons, there are opportunities to rotate through additional Massachusetts sites or other regions, gaining exposure to varied payment models, staffing structures, and interdisciplinary collaboration that sharpen clinical judgment and adaptability.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Physical Therapy Assistant on a travel schedule, you’ll support the delivery of high-quality rehab services under the direction of a licensed PT. Your daily responsibilities may include assisting with therapeutic exercises, neurorehabilitation techniques, gait and balance training, manual therapy modalities, edema and pain management, gait aids education, and documentation of patient progress. You’ll help assess functional goals, modify plans as needed, and provide clear home exercise instructions to promote continuity of care after discharge. You’ll have opportunities for professional growth within the specialty through mentorship by seasoned therapists, exposure to varied practice settings, and access to continuing education credits to expand your scope. The role also highlights competitive benefits, including a signing bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities to meet evolving clinical needs. Comprehensive support is a hallmark of our program, with 24/7 assistance available for travelers, enabling you to focus on patient care with confidence and peace of mind. Our evaluation and feedback structures are designed to recognize and cultivate your talents, supporting your career arc while you deliver compassionate, evidence-based care.

We champion a culture of professional development, collaborative problem solving, and a nurturing workplace where your contributions are seen and valued. We invest in your success, offering mentorship, streamlined access to resources, and a supportive community that respects your expertise and prioritizes patient outcomes.
