The Magic of Travel Therapy: Deborra’s Journey as a COTA with Pioneer
25TH APRIL, 2025
The 2025 to 2026 school year is here, and it is the perfect time to take the next step in your career. Whether you are a speech language pathologist, special education teacher, occupational therapist, physical therapist, audiologist, or another school based professional, Pioneer Healthcare can connect you with school districts that value inclusive education and student success.
Supporting Special Education Across Disciplines
Many of the school districts we partner with are deeply committed to serving students with diverse learning needs. These districts invest in strong support systems for special education, creating environments where you can do your best work.
Whether you are helping students improve communication, mobility, emotional regulation, or classroom participation, your role plays a vital part in their growth. Pioneer offers school-based therapy contracts and special education travel jobs that align with your strengths and interests, whether you are looking for a full school year contract or something more flexible.
Why Travel Roles Are a Great Option This Fall
As the school year begins, districts across the country are looking for professionals who can support growing caseloads and new programs. Roles in speech therapy, physical and occupational therapy, and special education teaching continue to be in high demand.
Working as a traveler gives you the freedom to choose where and how you work while making a direct impact on student progress. We help you find travel therapy jobs and special education teacher travel jobs that offer professional growth, competitive pay, and a chance to support students from day one. If you’re still looking for a contract, whether short term or long term, it is not too late. Let us know your availability, and we will connect you with flexible school therapy jobs that align with your goals and timeline.
More Than Jobs: A Supportive Community
At Pioneer, we believe in supporting your whole journey. That means more than just helping you land the right position. We offer mentorship, onboarding support, and a team that is here for you every step of the way.
We know that when professionals feel supported, students benefit too. That is why we prioritize connecting you with school environments that are collaborative, inclusive, and truly value your expertise. We know your end goal is like ours: to close the gaps in care so students can access the support they need to learn and grow.
You Are Invited: Back to School Happy Hour on August 11th
If you are a current or aspiring travel professional in the San Diego or Los Angeles area, we would love to see you at our Happy Hour on August 11th!
This event is for professionals already working with Pioneer and those curious about what a travel career in education or healthcare can look like. Even if you are still in grad school, this is a great opportunity to meet our team, ask questions, and connect with others in the field.
Come enjoy good company, learn more about travel work, and start the school year feeling inspired.
