What license do you need for travel therapy jobs?
Therapy licensure is state-by-state: PTs and PTAs need a license (or PT Compact privilege) in the state where they’ll work, OTs and OTAs license through each state board or a newly issued OT Compact privilege, and SLPs typically pair state licensure with ASHA CCC-SLP certification. Advantis’s licensing team walks travelers through each state’s process before the start date.
How much do travel therapy jobs pay?
Weekly pay on open Advantis therapy contracts currently runs $1,207 to $3,459, with a median around $2,065. Therapist-level roles (PT, OT, SLP) sit at the top of the range, while assistant-level contracts (PTA, OTA, SLPA) typically land below the median. Every listing shows live weekly pay up front: marketplace contract value, not a staff wage.
What settings do travel therapists work in?
Assignments span acute-care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing facilities, outpatient ortho clinics, home health, and school districts. The setting shapes the caseload far more than the city does, so filter by setting keywords in the search above to match your background.
Do therapy licensure compacts make starting faster?
Increasingly, yes. The PT Compact lets eligible PTs and PTAs purchase privileges across 37 member jurisdictions and often start in days instead of months. The OT Compact began issuing privileges in January 2026, and the ASLP-IC issued its first SLP privileges in late 2025. Both are expanding state by state, and our team confirms eligibility per contract.
Can PTAs, OTAs, and SLPAs take travel contracts?
Yes. Assistant-level therapy travelers are in steady demand, especially in skilled nursing and outpatient settings. BLS projects the assistant groups to grow 16–18% through 2034, the fastest rates in the therapy set. Use the Specialty filter above to see PTA, OTA, or SLPA contracts specifically.
