The Ensign Group Inc

Physical Therapist - Full Time Travel Contract

Adventure. Growth. Purpose. Your Therapy Career Starts Here.

Ready to break out of the ordinary and build a career that's as exciting as it is meaningful?

Join our elite team of traveling therapy professionals and experience a career designed for clinicians who crave flexibility, exploration, mentorship, and impact. As a Traveling Physical Therapist with TheraTroopers , you'll work alongside passionate rehab teams across the country while helping patients regain independence and quality of life.

Whether you're a new grad eager to learn or an experienced PT looking for something more fulfilling, this opportunity lets you grow professionally while exploring new places and communities.

We are currently seeking adventurous and flexible Occupational Therapists willing to travel to our affiliated facilities across 17 states, including:
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Why This Isn't Your Average Travel Therapy Job:
  • Explore More - Stress Less
  • Work exclusively within our Ensign-affiliated Skilled Nursing and Post-Acute Care facilities, giving you consistency, support, and a true team environment wherever you go.
  • Feel Supported from Day One
  • New graduate? No problem. Receive hands-on clinical mentorship and support from experienced therapy leaders invested in your success.
  • Incredible Benefits That Travel With You
  • Competitive compensation
  • Full-time benefits package
  • Paid CEUs
  • State license reimbursement
  • Company-provided laptop
  • Streamlined EMR/documentation system across all locations
  • Housing/travel support opportunities
  • Freedom & Flexibility
  • No non-compete clauses. Fall in love with a location? You can transition into a permanent role at any time.
  • Be Part of Something Bigger
As part of TheraTroopers, Inc., an Ensign-affiliated company, you'll join a network of independently operated facilities focused on exceptional patient care, clinical excellence, and therapist empowerment.

What You'll Do:
  • Evaluate and treat patients in short-term rehab, long-term care, and outpatient settings
  • Develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans
  • Deliver skilled therapeutic interventions that improve function and independence
  • Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary care teams
  • Educate patients and caregivers throughout the rehab journey
  • Track patient progress and adapt treatment plans as needed
  • Support safe and successful discharge planning
What We're Looking For:
  • Licensed Physical Therapist (PT)
  • Open to all experience levels - new grads encouraged to apply
  • Flexible, positive, and excited to travel
  • Passionate about patient-centered care and professional growth

Your Next Adventure Starts Here
