The company has been fully remote since inception and was recognized by Time as one of the most influential companies of 2023. Equip operates across all 50 states and partners with major health insurance plans, serving thousands of patients through dedicated multidisciplinary care teams.
The Float Therapist role is a specialized position designed to provide critical multi-state coverage and ensure continuity of care across Equip's national patient community.

- Delivering prompt, accurate clinical documentation and between-session patient messaging within Equip's EMR
- Participating in treatment team meetings, clinical supervision, case conferences, and required trainings
- Adhering to care delivery expectations regarding scheduled session hours, productivity targets, and administrative response times
Working hours are Monday–Friday, 8am–8pm in the therapist's respective patient care time zone, with a requirement to provide 30 hours per week of direct patient care availability and commit to 3–4 evening shifts per week (therapist chooses which evenings and can start later on those days).
