Job Description
Introduction
Embark on a transformative opportunity as a Physical Therapist in Summersville, West Virginia, where your clinical expertise will empower patients, restore mobility, and strengthen communities one patient at a time. This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to apply evidence-based practice in a setting that values your judgment, your compassion, and your drive to help others regain independence. Beginning 11/24/2025 for a flexible multi-week travel assignment, you’ll bring dynamic, patient-centered care to a beautiful region known for its vibrant towns and outdoor allure. You’ll earn competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,037 to $2,123 while you deliver high-quality therapy with guaranteed hours of 32 per week. This opportunity is designed for therapists who love variety, autonomy, and the chance to grow professionally while making a measurable impact in people’s lives. Summersville’s friendly communities and rich natural surroundings provide a welcoming backdrop as you advance your skills, collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, and broaden your professional horizons.
Location Benefits
Summersville sits at the crossroads of Appalachia’s natural beauty and small-town warmth. Work in a setting where mountains meet rivers, and outdoor adventures are part of everyday life. Summersville Lake, renowned for its crystal-clear water and scenic overlooks, offers opportunities for kayaking, fishing, and sunset views after a day of patient care. The nearby Gauley River provides thrilling white-water experiences for weekend explorers, while the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve highlights boulder fields, canyon overlooks, and dramatic skyline vistas—perfect for recharging your energy between patients. Beyond recreation, Summersville blends a slower pace with modern conveniences, excellent dining, and cultural events that showcase West Virginia’s heritage. For clinicians who crave variety, this assignment also opens doors to occasional rotations in other U.S. locations, expanding your professional footprint while preserving the stability of guaranteed hours and supportive supervision. You’ll benefit from a community-focused environment that values work–life balance, access to continuing education, and the chance to partner with physicians, therapists, and other health professionals who share a commitment to patient empowerment and evidence-based care.
Role Specifics and Benefits
In this Physical Therapist role, you’ll assess, diagnose, and treat patients across a spectrum of musculoskeletal and neurologic presentations within a collaborative care model. Key responsibilities include performing comprehensive evaluations, designing individualized treatment plans, implementing therapeutic interventions (manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, modalities, gait training, and activity modification), monitoring progress, and communicating clearly with patients, families, and the care team. You’ll document outcomes, adjust plans based on objective measures, and participate in discharge planning to maximize independence and function. This assignment emphasizes ongoing professional growth: you’ll have access to mentorship from experienced clinicians, opportunities to expand skills in outpatient and inpatient settings, and exposure to diverse case mix that sharpens diagnostic reasoning and treatment planning. The package includes a competitive bonus program, housing assistance, and extension opportunities, reflecting our commitment to rewarding performance and helping you build a sustainable travel career. You’ll also enjoy comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never alone when navigating clinical challenges, travel logistics, or any unexpected needs in new environments. The role aligns with your development goals—whether you’re pursuing specialty certifications, refining orthopedics-focused techniques, or strengthening leadership capabilities within an interprofessional team. Guaranteeing 32 hours per week, the schedule offers predictability alongside the flexibility to experience different clinical settings and communities. The Start Date of 11/24/2025 anchors a stable onboarding process, while the multi-week assignment format gives you a meaningful window to integrate with local teams, measure impact, and build enduring professional relationships.
