Physical Therapist - Home Health

Physical Therapist

Spartanburg Regional Home Health provides high-quality, patient-centered care to individuals across the Upstate of South Carolina who need skilled clinical services in the comfort of their own homes. Our team supports patients recovering from illness, injury, surgery, and chronic conditions with a focus on restoring independence, improving mobility, and helping them safely remain at home whenever possible. Services are delivered through a coordinated, interdisciplinary approach that includes physical therapy, nursing, occupational therapy, and other supportive disciplines working closely together around each patient's goals.

For physical therapists, this is a highly rewarding environment that blends autonomy with strong system-wide support. Clinicians manage their own schedules, treat one patient at a time, and see meaningful progress over time without the pace constraints of a traditional outpatient setting. You'll be part of a collaborative home health team within Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, giving you access to shared expertise, established referral networks, and a strong clinical infrastructure while still maintaining the independence that makes home health so appealing.

Under the direction of the Rehab Director/Manager, the Physical Therapist (PT) is responsible for assessing, evaluating, planning and implementing a medically prescribed treatment plan established for patients in the homecare setting to improve, restore, and compensate for lost function and to facilitate achieving independence for their optimal physical ability. The PT is responsible for modifying treatment plans and procedures and using appropriate communication techniques for specific age groups. The PT applies knowledge of growth and development and the aging process to achieve optimal results. The PT supervises PTA and Home Health Aides according to South Carolina state regulations. Other responsibilities will be assigned as appropriate.
