The Traveling Therapist

Effective September 05, 2023

Welcome to The Traveling Therapist (the “TTT”) website (the “Site”).

Who is The Traveling Therapist?

TTT is a website service that connects healthcare workers seeking short term contracts with locations where healthcare services are provided, including but not limited to, therapy clinics, hospitals, long-term care homes, etc. (the “Clinic”), who are seeking to temporarily fill their staff compliment in order to maintain optimal staffing and patient care, (the “Services”). TTT acts as a virtual meeting place for the Therapist (as hereinafter defined) and the Clinic, therefore the actual contract is between the Clinic and the Therapist who wins the bid. A Therapist is not required to be licensed to use this platform, but it is incumbent on the Therapist and the Clinic to ensure that, if required by law, the Therapist is so licensed to practice within the jurisdiction within which their services are being provided. A “Licensed Therapist” is defined as a healthcare worker who is licensed with the relevant governing body responsible for licensing such a therapist and such therapist is in good standing with the said governing body, hereby referred to as the “College”. An “Unlicensed Therapist” is defined as a healthcare worker who is not required to be licensed and or is not regulated by a College within the jurisdiction where they practice as a therapist. A Licensed Therapist and Unlicensed Therapist will be collectively referred herein as a “Therapist”.

TTT uses a bidding system, whereby a Clinic in the business of providing health care or therapeutic services, including but not limited to physiotherapy, massage therapy, chiropractic and/or personal support services, would advertise the need for a Therapist, on the Site. The Clinic may choose, at its own discretion, to set a maximum reserve price that it is willing to pay the successful Therapist. A Therapist will provide his/her bid based on the price he or she is prepared to accept the temporary placement for. The successful bidder is the Therapist with the lowest price bid that is accepted by the Clinic.
