Travel Physical Therapy Assistant - $1,650 per week
About the Role
Ardor Health Solutions is seeking a Physical Therapist Assistant for a Critical Access Hospital travel assignment in Sundance, Wyoming. This is a great opportunity for a PTA who enjoys variety and working across multiple levels of care. You'll support the PT and rehabilitation team while treating patients across Inpatient Acute Care, Swing Bed/Skilled Rehabilitation, and Outpatient Therapy, depending on the hospital's needs.
For a PTA who doesn't want to spend an entire contract doing the same thing every day, a smaller Critical Access Hospital can provide a much broader clinical experience and the opportunity to become an important part of the rehab team.

Why Sundance, Wyoming?
Sundance is in northeastern Wyoming near the Black Hills, making this a particularly fun location for someone who wants a smaller community with excellent access to outdoor recreation. You're roughly 30 miles from Devils Tower National Monument and within reach of Spearfish and Deadwood, South Dakota. The Black Hills offer hiking, scenic drives, fishing, camping, and plenty to explore during a travel assignment.
For a PTA who wants a rural hospital experience with a varied caseload plus a really unique part of the country to explore, Sundance is a strong option.
