To put it simply, facilities often have gaps in their staff they need to fill. If you decide to take an allied travel job, you may be there to provide support during times of high census or take over for someone on leave. Some facilities hire travelers on a regular, planned basis to cover their busy seasons.

As the largest healthcare staffing company in the country, we give you access to the most travel allied medical staffing opportunities. And because we have deep relationships with healthcare facilities nationwide, you’re more likely to get the assignment (and the next, and the next, and the next …) you want!

We have different job openings at different times, but we consistently hire for most types of travel allied health jobs. Our job search allows you to enter your profession and specialty (if applicable) and find jobs that fit your interests and skill set.

Step one is setting up your Aya account. Apply now to begin creating your profile. The more you can fill out, the better we’ll be able to match you to jobs you’ll love. You’ll be assigned a recruiter who’ll work with you, learn more about your goals and come up with a game plan to land your first assignment. From there, your recruiter will help guide your travel career in whatever direction you choose.

If we have openings that fit your skill set and interests, we’ll contact you within 24 hours!

Licensing depends on your profession. Many jobs require a state license. Here are a few examples:

• RRTs – need to be nationally registered and hold a state license.
• Lab – must be nationally certified. CA, NY, FL, HI, LA, MT, NV, ND, TN, WV require state licensing.
• CST – National certification is preferred but not required. Certain states require an additional state license. The following states only recognize the NBSTSA: ID, IN, MA, NV, NJ, NY, SC, OR, TN. TX only recognizes state licensing for surgical first assistants.

Your recruiter can help answer any questions about your specific licensing situation.

We’ll reimburse for any license you need for your first assignment on your initial paycheck. We reimburse additional state licenses for surgical services, respiratory and lab professionals. In many states, we can help expedite your licensure. Your recruiter and credentialing specialist can help you navigate licensing regulations for your profession.

Healthcare facilities set different requirements for allied medical staffing, but in general you need at least 2 years of professional experience, and you need to have worked within the last 12 months in your medical profession/specialty to book a travel job.

That depends on your flexibility. Are you willing and able to start a travel assignment right away? If you’re open regarding shift and location, we could have an offer for you as soon as 24 hours after being submitted to a job!

You need at least two references from supervisors to submit for a travel job. We suggest you wait to give your official notice until you’re offered a contract to sign as its highly unlikely your start date will be sooner than 2 weeks from the time of offer.

That’s completely up to you. We’ve had travelers who apply and take a year to decide to accept their first assignment — and others who apply and are out the door and on their way almost immediately. If you’re ready to go or will be soon, we recommend you fill out an application right away. That way you’re prepared if the right opportunity comes along. We can always keep your info on file until you’re ready to go!

The standard is 13 weeks, but you can find shorter and longer assignments (also called contracts). After you create a profile, you can log in and search based on contract length.
This kind of flexibility is what many people love most about traveling! You can also take breaks between assignments. It’s all up to you.

Yes! There are many people who travel with another healthcare professional, a spouse or even multiple friends like Lorato who hit the road with FOUR colleagues.

Of course! Pets are family. You can choose between Aya-provided housing or accept a stipend and find your own. Whatever you choose, we’ll always do our utmost to help. Dogs and cats are common, and we’ve even figured things out for travelers with more unusual pets … like Sunny Rae and her horses Tarreto and Silk.

Depending on your assignment details, Aya-offered housing may be an option for your contract. We’ve found that many allied health professionals choose the housing stipend option (if eligible) so they have the autonomy to find housing on their own. Be sure to discuss all options with your recruiter.

Pay varies for a variety of reasons. These reasons include specialty, location, benefits, whether a traveler takes company-provided housing and more. And the best news is, you get to choose!

Plus, we offer intangibles like front-of-the-line access to exclusive jobs, an expedited licensure program, a support team with designated credentialing experts, free virtual fitness classes and a pizza on your birthday!

We give you a dedicated support team full of experts to help with whatever you need. In addition to your recruiter, you’ll have a credentialing specialist, payroll representative and travel experience specialist. We also have a clinical team that can help with any potential issues you have on assignment.

Your team will go above and beyond to make sure you’re happy with everything, down to the tiniest detail of your assignment.

We have a 24/7 emergency line and we won’t leave you stranded.

Orientation length is different at every facility. You’ll be provided with enough orientation to get the job done, and our clinical support team will help ensure that you’re placed in a facility that best matches your interests and skill set.
