When healthcare facilities experience a staffing shortage or a rapid increase in population, they rely on therapy staffing agencies to fill the gaps until permanent staff can be hired.
Travel contracts are full-time jobs offered by healthcare agencies that come with full-time pay and benefits, relocation assistance, travel stipends, and CEU reimbursements (*certain conditions apply, so ask your recruiter).
Travel contracts are offered by staffing agencies to therapy professionals and can range anywhere from 3 months to 10 months, it just depends on the setting, location, and need.
We offer travel contracts in all of the following settings.
- Hospitals
- Outpatient clinics
- Rehab facilities
- Home health facilities
- Skilled nursing facilities
- Assisted living facilities
Employers in any setting may offer contracts for longer or shorter periods of time, it relies entirely upon the needs and preferences of the individual employers. The requirements to start work as a traveler are no different than the requirements for a staff position - you just might have to pack a bag! Many travel contracts also offer temp to hire options.
