Physical Therapist Assistant, Home Care, Bronx

VNS Health, a leading provider of home and community-based care in New York City, is seeking a dedicated Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) to join our Home Care team serving patients in the Bronx. In this role, you will work under the supervision and direction of a licensed Physical Therapist to deliver high-quality, patient-centered rehabilitation services to individuals in their homes. You will implement established treatment plans, provide therapeutic exercises and functional mobility training, and assist patients with gait, balance, and strength activities to improve safety and independence in daily living.

As a PTA with VNS Health, you will visit patients across diverse Bronx neighborhoods, performing thorough observations of patient status, reporting changes in condition to the supervising Physical Therapist and interdisciplinary team, and documenting care in accordance with agency, state, and federal guidelines. You will educate patients and caregivers on home exercise programs, safe transfers, use of assistive devices, fall prevention, and energy conservation, tailoring instruction to each patient’s goals, cultural background, and home environment. You will collaborate closely with nurses, therapists, social workers, and physicians to support coordinated, holistic care plans.

This position is ideal for a compassionate, detail-oriented clinician who values autonomy in the field and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients and families over time. You will manage a daily home-visit schedule, prioritize patient needs, and maintain accurate, timely electronic documentation. VNS Health’s culture emphasizes compassion, integrity, collaboration, and staff well-being; you will work within a supportive and inclusive team that encourages open communication and shared problem-solving.

VNS Health offers opportunities for ongoing professional growth, including access to clinical mentorship, in‑service education, and exposure to a wide range of diagnoses common in home care, such as post-surgical rehabilitation, neurological conditions, cardiopulmonary disease, and chronic musculoskeletal issues. You will be expected to follow infection control and safety protocols in the home, maintain compliance with regulatory standards, and uphold VNS Health’s commitment to delivering respectful, high-quality care to individuals and their caregivers throughout the Bronx.
