- Our recruiters love being mentors and take pride in helping you become a seasoned travel pro.
“Over the past year, Tony has been very helpful, prompt, and accommodating to my needs as a therapist. He has a wonderful sense of humor, excellent work ethic, and has always been very upfront with the details regarding the assignment I have been submitted to. Also, when things have not gone as planned with licensing, housing, and contracts terminating before their due date, he has always been able to help me along the way. I would recommend him to any new therapist who is looking for a friendly and reliable source as a traveler.” — Kimberly W., PT
We Offer Premium Support for Recent Therapy Graduates
Considering traveling for your first job out of school? Our recruiters remain specially trained to teach you all about becoming a traveler.

COVID-Related Changes Make a Travel Healthcare Job More Attractive Now More Than Ever
The pandemic changed the healthcare industry in so many ways. Cariant’s predictions for Travel Healthcare changes in 2021 offer good news for those of you considering a switch to travel:
- More seasoned nurses and therapists will leave full-time careers to explore travel postings for the first time.
- Continued localized increases in travel job openings with regional surges of COVID-19 cases.
- Increased numbers of home health and case management positions will become available.
- A recovery in the volume of postings for therapists for post-COVID-19 or post-surgical patients.
- With more jobs in other industries becoming remote, friends, spouses and loved ones may be better able to travel with you on your next assignment. They can work from anywhere, so they might appreciate a change in scenery, too!
Whether a veteran nurse or a recent therapy graduate, you have come to the right agency if you’re looking to start a travel career. We’ll put your best interests at heart. We can’t wait to help you feel right at home in your first travel assignment!
