Fort Smith has the deepest pool (12 openings), followed by Little Rock (12) and Springdale (8). Of postings that specify a schedule, 37% are full-time, 57% part-time.

For context beyond current listings: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the average annual wage for healthcare practitioners and technical roles in Arkansas at $88,000 (median $75,000) as of May 2025. Posted salaries on new openings here are broadly in line with that benchmark. Source: BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics.
