About This Role
This travel position places occupational therapists in facilities across Utah to deliver rehabilitative services to patients under clinical supervision. You'll work direct patient care assignments, likely rotating through different healthcare settings as part of a travel contract. The role suits OTs who want flexibility and variety—you'll move between locations rather than committing to a single facility long-term. This is ideal for therapists seeking to explore different regions while maintaining steady work, as travel roles typically offer structured schedules with predictable home time between assignments. You should be comfortable adapting to new clinical environments and working independently within established treatment plans. OneStaff Medical, a Midwest-rooted staffing firm, handles placement logistics so you can focus on patient outcomes.

Frequently asked questions
How long is a typical travel therapy contract?
Most travel therapy contracts run 13 weeks, with the option to extend or take a new assignment after each contract. Shorter 8-week and longer 26-week contracts are also common, especially for SLPs in school settings.
Is housing provided or is there a stipend?
Most travel agencies offer a tax-free housing stipend rather than agency-arranged housing. Stipends vary by city and assignment, typically $1,200–$2,400 per month on top of weekly taxable pay.
Do I need a license in every state I travel to?
Yes — PT, OT, and SLP licensure is regulated state-by-state. The PT and OT compacts (PT Compact, OT Compact) let you practice in member states with a compact privilege; SLPs use the ASLP-IC compact. Non-compact states still require a state-specific license before you start.
