Chapter One: 6 Signs You Would Be a Great Fit for a Travel Therapy Job

 6 Signs You Would Be A Great Fit For A Travel Therapy Job

Are you ready for an adventure? Travel therapy is an excellent career move for physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech pathologists who want to see the country. Want to learn what kind of therapists succeed in these travel jobs? Here are six signs that prove you would be an ideal candidate for a career in travel therapy.

  1. Motivated in Work and Play
    As you can guess, half of what you will be doing on your travel therapy assignment will be work, but there’s also plenty of time to get out there and have fun, too! With the ski slopes of Colorado, the islands of Hawaii, and all the national parks as your playground, your experiences are limitless. If you can balance your commitment to your career and dedication to adventure, you will take advantage of every aspect of your travel therapy jobs.

  1. Ability to Adapt
    Adjusting to change is necessary for a traveling physical therapist or traveling occupational therapist. Even travel SLP jobs call for you to acclimate to new geographic locations, as well as new facilities, policies, and procedures. With every change comes a unique perspective, and if you are ready to learn from the best in the country - across the country - travel therapy is for you.

  1. Looking for New Experiences
    There’s no shortage of new experiences when you’re working travel therapy jobs! If you want to see what it’s like working in a school system versus an outpatient facility, or if you want to feel out therapy travel jobs with smaller teams versus larger teams, you can do it! Many of the healthcare facilities that travel therapy recruiters work with also bring in travelers regularly, creating a substantial network of new colleagues who are just as adventurous as you.

  1. Eye for Great Benefits
    Adventure isn’t the only thing calling PTs, OTs, and SLPs to the world of travel therapy. The best travel therapy companies also provide incredible pay, benefits, and other incentives to their travelers. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists are offered incredible destinations to call home for thirteen weeks as well as opportunities for flexible schedules and higher pay than permanently placed staff. You can also receive a comprehensive benefits package that follows you from contract to contract. Some traveling therapy companies offer incentives such as higher education credits, vendor discounts, and free trips to the Caribbean for loyalty and referrals!

  1. Break Routine - Be More Marketable
    If you desire a break from your routine that will also make you more marketable to future employers, travel therapy is what you need to do. Travel therapists see what else is out there with manageable, short-term assignments that keep the job fresh and exciting. Traveling physical therapists and traveling occupational therapists can also strategically plan placements in a variety of facilities to increase marketability, bumping their resume to the top of the pile.

  1. Looking for Your Dream Job
    If you are looking for your ideal physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy position, there’s no better way to explore what is available than by spending time in travel therapy jobs. With stable benefits and higher pay, you can discover destinations that speak to your soul and uncover the exact environment in which you thrive, before settling down in your dream job.
