Chapter Two: How to Land the Best Travel Therapy Job Ever

Are you having difficulty in your travel therapy job search, or just coming across travel therapy as a new career option? Whether you’re seeking travel physical therapy, travel occupational therapy, or travel speech pathology jobs, we’ve laid out three best practices to make the process easier. Read on to see what steps you should take to help you land the best travel therapy job ever.

 

 Discover What You Want

You will want to take some more introspective steps before you move forward in your travel career. Start by sorting likes and dislikes while reviewing all of your past therapy positions. Look at the kinds of facilities you’ve worked in, your jobs’ key responsibilities, and the management you have encountered throughout your career. By creating a more cut-and-dry visual of where you’ve been, you’ll have more insight on where you would like to go.

Call on the Experts to Find Your Next Job 

To find ideal travel therapy assignments to create an exciting and stable career, you must reach out to employers who are looking for contract PTs, OTs, and SLPs. The easiest way to gain access to these potential employers is by working with a staffing agency that specializes in travel physical therapy and travel occupational therapy jobs.

Travel therapy companies enlist qualified recruiters who will do your job search for you! The more you share your wants and needs for your next traveling physical therapy jobs with a recruiter, the easier it is for them to find matching therapy jobs. The best travel therapy companies will also have long-standing relationships with clients who value travelers, and they will have a variety of opportunities throughout the United States at any given moment.

Connecting with a travel therapy recruiter isn’t only about finding the right travel PT, OT, or SLP position. Your staffing agency will equip you with resume refining tips and advice on where to take your career, and they will also help prepare you for virtual and onsite interviews. After accepting a travel therapy job, your staffing company will then process all paperwork for the contract. They will assist you with any pre-employment credentialing, set up your temporary housing, and establish pay and benefits for which you are eligible.

Prepare for New Experiences

It is true that not every physical therapist, occupational therapist, or speech pathologist will start their traveling therapy jobs on the coast of California, but it doesn’t mean that you won’t find your exact dream travel therapy assignment elsewhere in the country.

One of the best benefits of a career in travel therapy is the freedom to move from facility to facility, but you must also be able to adapt to the changes that arise from one patient population to the next. To gain the most from your travel therapy jobs, you must enter this career with an open mind. You may find that the best facility is in a tiny farm town in Kentucky and not the Colorado ski village where you expected it to be!

By employing a reputable travel therapy company, you acquire years of industry knowledge, and you gain a reliable partner who always has your back, no matter where you are in the country. You may want a location that is personally picked for your lifestyle and professional preferences, or you may want to try out a contract in Hawaii or Alaska to check them off your bucket list. Either way, start with a travel therapy staffing company, and be open to new experiences.
