This is a travel physical therapist contract with SEARHC (the SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium) in Juneau, covering adult outpatient and combined inpatient and outpatient care. You will evaluate patients, build and carry out treatment plans, restore mobility after injury and surgery, and document outcomes, working Monday to Friday during daytime clinic hours. It is a steady, predictable schedule, not a nights-and-weekends grind, which is part of what makes Juneau a comfortable place to travel.
Because Juneau is a small city rather than a huge medical center, you get variety and a close team rather than a narrow niche. Therapists who like knowing their coworkers and their patients tend to enjoy it here.
Being honest about the location matters, because Juneau is unlike any state capital in the country. It sits in the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska along the Inside Passage, and it is famously unreachable by road: you arrive by plane or ferry, since no highway connects Juneau to the rest of the state. What that isolation buys you is spectacular, from the Mendenhall Glacier on the edge of town to whale watching, rainforest hiking, and fishing straight out of your days off.
Juneau does have a local road network, which is why this role asks for a valid driver's license: you will want to drive to trailheads, the glacier, and around town. Expect a lot of rain, mild coastal temperatures rather than deep-freeze cold, and a genuine small-city community of around 32,000 people. If you want an Alaska adventure without giving up restaurants, coffee, and amenities, Juneau is the gentler of the two Alaska options we staff.
This contract offers take-home pay up to $85 an hour (W-2) on a guaranteed 40-hour week, which places it among the strongest physical therapist rates in the country, in line with Alaska's ranking as a top-paying state per BLS data. Travel packages typically combine a taxable hourly wage with tax-free housing and meal stipends for travelers who keep a qualifying tax home; stipends follow GSA rates for Juneau. Alaska also has no state income tax, so more of your taxable pay stays with you. Call a recruiter for the full package breakdown on a current Juneau contract.
You need an active Alaska physical therapist license before you start, issued through the Alaska Board of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy. If you are licensed in another state, plan for application and verification time, and start before you commit to a start date. Call us and a recruiter will walk you through the current steps and timing so the license is ready when your contract begins.
