Checklist: 10 Reasons to Switch to Travel Therapy Jobs

  1. Travel therapy jobs let your inner traveler go beyond guidebooks: Sites and attractions are to be enjoyed on your schedule. It’s not like you’re the average tourist, trying to cram everything into one vacation.
  2. Staffing consultants work closely with every therapist. Thanks to VIP customer care, you tailor your own travel therapist career, living where you want, working the hours that suit you best.
  3. Continuing Education is free. You can advance in your allied career from the comfort of your phone! We have hundreds of online classes to choose from! American Traveler allied offers   Free CE online courses
  4. These therapy jobs are flexible! If you fall in love with a city during your therapy job, you may have the option to extend that position or find a permanent therapist job in your desired city.
  5. Set your housing up where you want, at your ideal budget. Most travelers use home share services like AirBnb or Vrbo. Some stay with nearby family or friends, some "travel tiny", and some prefer to have our allied health staffing agency set up accommodations for them. All great options!
  6. Get a bonus when you refer a therapist! Be sure to refer a colleague who loves the idea of a travel therapist lifestyle too.  See current travel therapy jobs bonuses.
  7. Company matched 401(k) and travel reimbursements come with every travel therapy job. Once you peruse the American Traveler Allied benefits package, you’ll want to sign on!
  8. Accepting a travel therapy job means lightening your load. A consultant handles the particulars; the only thing you must do is ace your job interview, gather the necessary paperwork, pack your belongings and get on the road. Deciding what the essentials are rids your life of clutter. See basic travel therapy job documentation needed to get started
  9. Making plans for your future has never been this fun. Formulate a list of "Must-See places" before embarking on your new therapy career. Get all your travel guide apps loaded and pin those "want-to-go" spots. It’s a great opportunity for graduate physical therapists coming out of college.
  10. You build confidence by working in more than just one facility. Increase your ability to adapt, acclimate and thrive in travel therapy jobs.
