Job Description
Step into a transformative role as a Physical Therapist in Kodiak, Alaska, where your clinical expertise will empower patients to reclaim mobility, independence, and confidence in one of the most striking corners of the United States. This specialty-focused opportunity invites you to apply evidence-based practice, innovate treatment plans, and collaborate with a compassionate team dedicated to holistic rehabilitation. Begin your journey on January 26, 2026, with a contract measured in weeks, and bring your dedication to a coastal community famed for its rugged beauty, rich maritime culture, and spirited, resilient residents. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to heal, grow, and inspire in a setting where every session makes a tangible difference and every outing offers a reminder of nature’s grandeur.
Kodiak presents a unique backdrop for professional fulfillment. Imagine starting your day with sea breeze and the hum of harbor activity, then guiding patients through meaningful progress in a hospital or clinic setting. Beyond the clinical walls, Kodiak’s landscapes invite exploration: panoramic fjords, wildlife encounters, and a pace of life that blends Alaska’s wild heart with a welcoming community spirit. For those who crave variety, the opportunity to work across diverse locations in the U.S. may also be available, expanding your professional horizons while keeping the focus on patient-centered care. The blend of serene coastal scenery and dynamic clinical challenges creates a rewarding environment where your skills advance in step with personal discovery.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your success and career trajectory. As a Physical Therapist in this assignment, you’ll assess movement limitations, design individualized treatment plans, and implement therapeutic interventions to enhance strength, flexibility, balance, and functional mobility. You’ll monitor progress, document outcomes, and collaborate with physicians, nurses, and other therapists to coordinate comprehensive care. You’ll lead patient education, promote injury prevention strategies, and adapt approaches to meet each person’s goals and abilities. The position offers opportunities for professional growth within the specialty—hands-on mentorship, exposure to diverse patient populations, and the chance to refine manual therapy techniques, gait training, neuro-rehabilitation, and orthopedic protocols. Competitive benefits include a bonus structure, housing assistance, and extension opportunities that recognize your value and commitment. The role also features comprehensive support, with 24/7 assistance available as you travel with the company, ensuring you’re never alone on the road or in the field. You’ll have access to a collaborative network, modern equipment, and a schedule that respects work–life balance while delivering meaningful, patient-focused outcomes.
Our company values staff empowerment, prioritizing career advancement and a supportive work environment. We believe in recognizing talent, investing in ongoing education, and fostering a culture where clinicians guide care innovation. From structured onboarding to ongoing professional development, you’ll find mentors, peers, and leaders who champion your growth and celebrate your successes. The emphasis is on long-term fulfillment: expanding your clinical repertoire, taking on leadership opportunities within teams, and contributing to a community that values compassionate care, respectful teamwork, and continuous improvement. In this setting, your contributions are seen, your voice matters, and your professional goals are attainable through clear pathways and supportive resources.
