Chapter Seven: Why Use a Medical Staffing Agency to Land a Travel Therapy Job

by CoreMedical Group

There are many benefits to using a medical staffing agency to land your next travel therapy jobs. Staffing agencies not only have your back through the entire job search process, but they also provide valuable benefits packages and administrative support while connecting you with excellent clients and facilities throughout the U.S.

Stress Relief and Support

The online job search environment is flooded with permanent options and short-term contracts with minimal benefits. Finding the right travel therapy position that will offer everything you need for your lifestyle, including the freedom to travel while maintaining a stable career, can be extremely stressful. Travel therapy companies can provide relief from complicated and time-consuming job searches.

By using a travel therapy staffing agency, you will have access to a dedicated team of recruiters, credentialing and housing specialists, and other support services to ensure your travel PT, OT and SLP contracts are what you want them to be from beginning to end. Whether you are just beginning to look at travel therapy as an option, or you have several travel therapy jobs on your resume, a medical staffing agency can save you valuable time, relieve some of your stress, and provide you with guidance to keep you earning what you deserve at your ideal destinations.

Pay and Benefits

Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech language pathologists have the potential to earn more with traveling therapy jobs than those in the same positions in a permanent capacity. However, having a reputable staffing company with travel therapy experience is vital in earning both higher pay and better benefits.

The best travel therapy companies will offer their PTs, OTs, and SLPs comprehensive benefits packages, a 401k with company matching, and licensing and travel reimbursement when available. Even better, a lot of these benefits start on the first day of your contract.

Travelers also have access to perks that you would otherwise miss if you searched for travel therapy jobs on your own. Many travel physical therapy and travel occupational therapy staffing companies also offer loyalty incentive programs. For those clients who work multiple contracts and refer new candidates to their medical staffing agency, there are free, all-inclusive trips to the Caribbean, cash bonuses, and other discounts available.

Housing

Along with better pay, healthcare benefits and reimbursement opportunities, one of the best reasons to work with a travel therapy company is the housing assistance you will receive. You will be traveling across the U.S. every 13 weeks on average, and you are going to need a place to live. Your recruiter will set you up for travel therapy jobs in locations you will love, but your housing specialist will help you find your ideal residence.

Medical staffing agencies that specialize in travel therapy will have multiple housing options available, so you will never feel out of place at your new destination. You may receive a company-provided studio or single-bedroom apartment, a more substantial private abode with a copay, a shared housing space, or a generous housing stipend to fund your own accommodations.

It’s Free

Last, but certainly not least, is the value you will receive at no extra cost to you. Once you find the best travel therapy company for you, all the above benefits will become available to you for free. A dedicated recruiter will search for incredible travel therapy jobs that are specific to your wants and needs, and an administrative team will ensure that all your licensing and onboarding materials are filled out and filed appropriately. You will have secure housing before your contract begins, and you can travel knowing you have the best benefits and pay to back you up.
