Travel Physical Therapy Assistant

Job Overview

Step into a pivotal role as a Travel Physical Therapy Assistant within our Physical Therapy Assistant specialty program, where your hands‑on expertise will shape outcomes, restore independence, and elevate the standard of patient care across a diverse care continuum. In this role you will partner with licensed therapists to evaluate, plan, and implement rehabilitation strategies that empower patients recovering from injury, surgery, or illness to move with confidence again.

As a dedicated PTA in New Hampshire’s Keene region, you’ll contribute to meaningful patient progress every day, guiding them through personalized exercise programs, functional training, gait restoration, and balance activities that promote safety and autonomy. You’ll experience the reward of seeing a patient walk farther, complete daily tasks with less pain, or return to work with renewed vitality, while you grow your clinical reasoning, refine your documentation, and expand your professional toolkit.

The opportunity is enhanced by the beauty and vitality of New England—Keene’s tree‑lined streets, historic architecture, seasonal events, nearby rivers and trails, and a community that values health, education, and outdoor exploration.

Keene, New Hampshire, offers a compelling backdrop for your practice. The city combines small‑town warmth with access to outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, and a welcoming professional community. From autumn foliage that paints the Monadnock region to winter recreation in nearby mountains, Keene invites you to enjoy a well‑rounded lifestyle between patient visits. The surrounding communities provide opportunities to collaborate with diverse patient populations, including older adults, post‑surgical patients, post‑stroke rehabilitation clients, and individuals regaining mobility after orthopedic injuries.

For those who relish exploring, the travel component of this role presents a chance to savor new landscapes, cuisines, and communities while continuing to advance clinically. The experience in Keene also serves as a strong anchor—a ideal base with easy access to services, education resources, and a supportive network that enhances your travel assignments elsewhere in the country.

Your core responsibilities will include performing patient evaluations and contributing to the development of individualized plans of care in collaboration with physical therapists; implementing, monitoring, and progressively adjusting therapeutic exercise programs; guiding gait training, mobility activities, balance tasks, and functional tasks from basic activities to more complex daily living activities. You will administer applicable modalities, assistive devices, and wound care tasks as directed, while ensuring patient safety, infection control, and adherence to regulatory requirements.

Documentation plays a central role—accurate progress notes, outcome measures, and discharge planning communications that support seamless transitions of care. Education for patients and caregivers is a critical component, reinforcing home exercise programs, safety strategies, and strategies for self‑management to sustain gains. You’ll also participate in interdisciplinary rounds, collaborate with the broader care team, and contribute to program development, quality improvement, and patient education initiatives.

The role holds strong potential for professional growth, including mentorship opportunities, continuing education engagement, leadership activities, and the possibility to precept new staff or contribute to regional program expansion. You’ll have access to ongoing clinical support from experienced clinicians and a comprehensive orientation that facilitates rapid integration into the travel environment.

This opportunity is complemented by competitive benefits designed to recognize your expertise and flexibility. The compensation is structured to be compelling and transparent, with weekly pay ranging from $1,497 to $1,557, and guaranteed hours of 35 per week, aligning with your financial planning and career goals.
