Job Details

 

  Description

 

MTX Therapy Services has openings for adventurous, energetic therapists in Fairbanks, Alaska. The positions are school-based and contracts are 10 months long.

Fairbanks is located in the heart of Alaska. It has most of the amenities of a large city (hospitals, restaurants, shopping, airport, etc.) without the hectic pace and overcrowding of most cities.

Unlike other major Alaskan cities, Fairbanks has retained its natural beauty. It is surrounded by dense forests, pristine lakes and rivers, awe-inspiring mountains, and a variety of wildlife. In fact, Fairbanks is one of the best places on earth to view the Aurora Borealis. Also, Mt. McKinley (aka Denali) at 20,320 feet is the highest mountain peak in North America and can be seen from Fairbanks.
