Alaska is consistently ranked among the highest-paying states in the country for physical therapists per U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, and travel contracts pay above staff rates. We Care Staffing's current Alaska physical therapist assignments offer take-home pay up to $85 an hour on a guaranteed 40-hour week, Monday to Friday, with daytime clinic hours. The reason the pay runs high is simple: Alaska needs experienced therapists and there are not enough of them in-state, so facilities compete for travelers who are licensed and ready.
We currently place physical therapists in two very different parts of Alaska. Pick the one that fits the experience you want:
The state capital, set in coastal rainforest along the Inside Passage. An outpatient and inpatient role with a regional health organization, SEARHC. A good fit if you want small-city amenities, glaciers and whales on your days off, and a road network you can drive (a valid driver's license is required).
A remote, fly-in regional hub on the Kuskokwim River, serving Alaska Native communities through the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC). Broad-scope outpatient and inpatient work with real mission behind it. A good fit if you want adventure, cultural immersion, and to practice at the top of your scope.
We Care Staffing places physical therapists on travel contracts across the United States, including Alaska.
