Job Description

About Voyage Talent Solution

Voyage Talent Solution connects skilled healthcare professionals with rewarding travel opportunities across the country. We handle placement, licensure guidance, and onboarding so you can focus on patient care. Our recruiter works one-on-one with you from application through the end of your contract and beyond.

About the Placement

Arctic Chiropractic Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy

Take your travel PT assignment to Dutch Harbor/Unalaska, one of the most unique places to work in the country, with Arctic Chiropractic Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy, the largest Alaskan-owned clinic network in the state.
