Physical Therapist (PT) Jobs in California

43 open assignments$2,115$3,796/week37 facilities

California pays travel PTs among the best weekly rates in the country, and the state's size means openings span everything from Bay Area and SoCal hospital systems to Central Valley outpatient and rural clinics. The trade-off is licensing: California is not a PT Compact state, so you'll need a California-issued PT license. It's worth planning for early — once it's in hand, California assignments are some of the most lucrative on the board.

Our team can help you time the California license application against your start date so you're not leaving weeks on the table. Every role below is a live ADEX requisition you apply to directly — no middleman recruiter between you and the contract.
