123 new athletic trainer jobs this week. Strong cross-section of the market with secondary schools, collegiate, professional sports, and industrial settings all represented. The wide salary bands from large public school districts continued to dominate the top of the board — Stafford County Public Schools in Virginia posted a ceiling approaching $127,000 and Selah School District in Washington posted up to $114,955 for a dual CTE teaching and AT role. Cost of living continues

Welcome to edition 18 of the Athletic Trainer Finder weekly newsletter. This week, we have 114 new athletic trainer jobs on the board and Texas school districts showed up strong again, the industrial and occupational health market posted competitively, and a few roles in the collegiate and private school space are worth a look including an opportunity to build a sports medicine program from the ground up at the Master’s Academy in Stow, MA. It wasn’t all sunshine this week, w

121 new athletic trainer jobs this week. After a few weeks headlined by a $240,000 USC director role, an NFL spotter position, and a TBI diagnostic role nobody had ever seen before, this week was quieter. No jaw-dropping headlines, no single role that stops the scroll. Just a solid, honest cross-section of the market doing what it does most weeks. The cost-of-living math is doing more work than usual this week. The highest converted ceiling on the board — $120,245 — belongs t

Welcome to the 16th Edition of the Athletic Trainer Finder Weekly Newsletter. This week 120 new athletic trainer jobs came across the market. But before we get into any of it — AT Finder crossed 2,000 subscribers this week. That milestone belongs to everyone reading this. Thank you for being part of it. A few things on the board this week worth noting before the picks. The Cleveland Browns posted a part-time Athletic Trainer Spotter role — $125 per hour, home games only, NFL

109 new athletic trainer jobs this week. Where colleges and professional sports carried the list last week, secondary schools and independent schools played the major role this week — and they brought some of the wider salary bands of the year with them. Some of the highlights we see this week definitely warrant a cost-of-living examination. A $147,626 ceiling from a Maryland school district. A Princeton, NJ independent school topping out at $102,682. Brooklyn private school

That’s the headline. Keck Medicine of USC posted a Senior Director of Athletic Medicine Operations role for the USC athletic program with a salary range of $145,600 to $240,240 — the highest ceiling this board has seen in 14 editions. It edges out the previous high (Sutter Health at $229,174 in week four). The floor is actually lower, and Los Angeles is a tougher cost-of-living market than Sacramento, so it’s not a clean sweep — but at this level, the ceiling is what matters

Welcome to the 13th Edition of the Athletic Trainer Finder Weekly Newsletter. NATM is coming to a close and with that, this week 113 new athletic trainer jobs came on the market. A step down from last week's volume, and honestly the quality reflected that too. The headline numbers look impressive at first glance. A private school in Los Angeles posting $92,000 to $105,000. Concentra in the Bay Area at $80,000 to $90,000. A program director role in Ohio at $80,000 to $85,000.

Welcome back to another edition of the Athletic Trainer Finder Weekly Job Digest. This marks our 12th Edition and this week we had 143 new athletic trainer jobs come onto the market. The second biggest week on the board since we launched, meaning things might be heating up as we head into the busiest hiring season of the year. The major highlight of the week was on the collegiate side in Southern California. There is a USC fellowship on the board this week paying up to $112,

Welcome to the 11th edition of the Athletic Trainer Finder Weekly job digest . We saw a slight rebound in volume this week with 111 unique postings after last week's slower cycle, and the geographic spread was wide. I'll be honest with you, this wasn't a flashy week. No six-figure ceilings, no high pay band professional roles, no executive-level pay bands, but it was steady. Solid mid-tier roles, a handful of non-traditional settings, and the same pattern we've been trackin

We are now in the second full week of National Athletic Training Month, with the 10th edition of the Athletic Trainer Finder weekly jobs digest! This year's theme for NATM — "Care You Can Count On" — is the right framing. But care you can count on has to come with compensation you can count on. Appreciation posts and posters move the needle on visibility. Transparent pay ranges and structured benefits move the needle on sustainability. This week the market gave us a little o

Happy National Athletic Training Month! Across the country, athletic trainers will be recognized with appreciation posts, posters, and well-deserved thank-yous. That visibility matters. Our profession plays a critical role in the health and safety of the athletes and workers we serve. But recognition alone doesn’t move a profession forward.

Welcome to another edition of the Athletic Trainer Finder Weekly Digest. This marks our sixth weekly digest and our second edition in February . If you missed it, I also released the January Job Market Summary last week, which broke down every position we tracked throughout the month. If you want a clearer pulse on where the market actually stands, not just where it’s advertised, that’s worth a read. This week’s job market was fairly ho-hum . A large chunk of postings lande

This is not a scientific study design and should not be treated as such. Navigating the job market as an Athletic Trainer often feels like trying to read a play without a playbook. To bring some transparency to the profession, we analyzed a dataset of 508 unique job postings from January 2026. Whether you are looking fo

Welcome to February everybody! After a busy January of full-time listings, things definitely slowed down a little on the full-time front. However, there was a noticeable uptick in PRN and temporary positions out on the boards this week, particularly in college and secondary schools. This likely signals that schools that still have vacancies are looking to weather the storm through the rest of the year and look to try to fill those positions for 26–27 in the Spring and Summer.

It is hard to believe we have been doing this for a month. All of the support and interest has been truly humbling! This week the job volume didn’t let up, and we saw some interesting roles come out with California and Maryland leading the way! We tracked 140 new athletic trainer jobs across the market this week. One of those was intentionally excluded from the AT Finder board , which is why 139 roles are mentioned below. One of the biggest shifts this week was where the job

Happy MLK Day everyone. I hope you are all enjoying a day off today, but if you’re like me you’re probably working a game this evening. It is our Third Edition of the Athletic Trainer Finder Weekly Job Digest ! This week’s job market was busy, but it wasn’t a smooth ride from start to finish. Early in the week, several postings came through that were honestly frustrating to read. Either no salary was listed, the salary listed didn’t line up with the credential and scope bein
