This Home Health Physical Therapist opportunity is based in Durham, North Carolina, a dynamic city at the heart of the Research Triangle. Durham offers a unique blend of history, innovation, and livability: walkable downtown districts, a thriving restaurant and craft beer scene, live music venues, museums, performing arts, and a strong network of parks and greenways. The city’s proximity to Raleigh and Chapel Hill provides easy access to collegiate sports, cultural events, and nationally recognized festivals, while the nearby Eno River, state parks, and the American Tobacco Trail offer plentiful outdoor recreation. The area’s relatively moderate climate and four distinct seasons make it enjoyable year-round, with mild winters, vibrant springs, and long, pleasant fall seasons.The position is with a well-established home health agency serving patients in Durham and surrounding communities. The agency is closely connected to a highly regarded regional healthcare environment that includes Magnet-recognized health systems and academic medical centers, creating a culture that values evidence-based practice, continuing education, and clinical excellence. You will be part of an interdisciplinary, patient-centered team that supports collaboration, open communication, and professional growth. Clinicians in this setting often describe the environment as supportive and mission-driven, with leadership focused on quality care and realistic productivity expectations.In this role, the Home Health Physical Therapist provides one-on-one care in patients’ homes, focusing on functional rehabilitation, safety, and independence. A typical day includes driving to several patient homes within a defined geographic area, performing comprehensive assessments, developing individualized care plans, and delivering therapeutic interventions tailored to each patient’s goals and living environment. Common responsibilities include post-acute rehabilitation following orthopedic surgeries or hospitalizations, gait and balance training, strength and endurance programs, fall risk assessments, home safety evaluations, caregiver education, and coordination of durable medical equipment. You will collaborate closely with nurses and other therapists to manage complex medical conditions, monitor progress, and adjust treatment plans.Visit volumes and caseload expectations are structured to support safe, high-quality care and to allow time for thorough documentation and communication. Most visits are scheduled during daytime hours on weekdays, with the possibility of occasional weekend or rotating coverage depending on agency needs. You will use a portable electronic medical record system to document visits in real time, which helps streamline workflow and support compliance with regulatory standards. Patient populations are primarily adult and geriatric, with a mix of post-surgical, neurologic, cardiopulmonary, and chronic disease management cases, offering excellent opportunities to develop and refine a broad clinical skill set.This position is ideal for a Physical Therapist who values autonomy, enjoys working in the community, and wants to make a meaningful impact by helping patients remain safe and independent at home. The role offers exposure to a variety of clinical conditions, opportunities to participate in quality initiatives, and a clear path to professional growth within home health. Durham’s strong healthcare ecosystem and vibrant, livable community make this an excellent choice for clinicians looking to advance their careers while enjoying a high quality of life.
