What is a travel contract?

A travel contract is a full-time job where you work on contract that offers healthcare benefits, relocation assistance, and travel stipends. 

A travel contract is a full-time temporary work assignment where healthcare professionals are placed in facilities that need short-term staffing support. These contracts typically last between 8 to 13 weeks, though some can be extended based on facility needs and job performance.

Travel contracts offer a variety of benefits, including competitive pay, healthcare coverage, relocation assistance, and travel stipends to help offset housing and transportation costs. This type of work provides professionals with the opportunity to explore new cities, gain experience in different clinical environments, and enjoy the flexibility of choosing when and where they work—all while earning a steady income and receiving full-time benefits.
