SNF- Physical Therapy - Travel - Great Comp! CRITICAL NEED - TherapyTravelers - Palm Desert, CA

Our therapists love their jobs!

“I get to interact with children all day and assess, research, and help detect the reasons as to why they are experiencing difficulties.”

“I find great delight and joy in helping kids with disabilities. It’s a worthy cause.”

“I have the opportunity to help clients make progress on their goals, one of which is to finally be understood by family members and others.”

Imagine working for a contract firm where you feel you have a voice and that you’re part of a team where your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions are valued. What if there was a company where your strengths are taken into account when being placed on a contract and where you feel cared for and well-represented? What if your compensation and benefit package was worthwhile? Too good to be true? Not a chance!
