About Lancaster
Frequently asked questions
How does travel therapy work?
Travel therapy gives licensed therapists the chance to take short-term assignments, usually 8–13 weeks, at hospitals, clinics, or schools that need extra support. It’s a great way to earn well, gain diverse experience, and explore new places while helping communities in need.
Is the weekly pay gross or net?
The weekly pay rates shown on our site are gross amounts, which means you can easily compare offers before taxes and deductions. This transparency helps you see the full value of each contract upfront and understand your earning potential.
Does the pay include stipends?
Yes. The weekly pay we show already includes tax-free stipends for housing and meals, so you see the full value of your total compensation upfront. To qualify for stipends please read our article on tax homes and travel taxes!
How long does it take to get licensed?
Licensing timelines vary by state, but many can be completed in as little as 2–4 weeks, while others may take closer to 8–12 weeks. Starting your application early helps you stay ready for opportunities and ensures you can take your ideal assignment without delays.
What facility is this job at?
Agencies don’t always provide us with the facility name upfront, but when you click “I’m Interested,” you’ll be matched with the vetted recruiter who has this job. They’ll share the full facility and job details with you so you can make an informed decision.

How do you find housing?
Most travelers choose short-term housing through furnished rentals, Airbnb, or extended-stay hotels, and all agencies provide housing stipends so you have flexibility. This gives you the freedom to pick the option that best fits your lifestyle, whether that’s convenience, budget, or exploring a new city.
