Job Description

$10,000 Sign-On Bonus Available for Eligible Full-Time Physical Therapist Assistants

This is a full-time role with an assigned East Bay territory, providing in-home physical therapy services to patients throughout the region.

About the company

At AlphaCare Home Health, we believe patients deserve more — more time, more communication, and more care that improves outcomes.

While many agencies use technology to increase visit volume, we use it to give clinicians more meaningful time with each patient. We are building a home health organization centered on clinical quality, strong patient relationships, multilingual community care, and reliable operational support for the clinicians delivering care every day.

About the Role

We are seeking compassionate and motivated Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) to join our growing home health team serving San Francisco and Peninsula communities.

Under the supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist, PTAs provide skilled therapy services to patients recovering from illness, injury, surgery, or functional decline in the home setting. The ideal candidate is patient-centered, collaborative, and committed to helping patients improve mobility, safety, strength, and independence.

At AlphaCare, success is measured not only by compliance — but by functional progress, fall prevention, patient confidence, and quality of life.

• Home health experience preferred, but not required
• Strong communication and documentation skills

Responsibilities

• Assist patients in improving mobility, strength, balance, endurance, and functional independence
• Observe, document, and communicate patient progress and changes in condition
• Educate patients and caregivers on home exercise programs, safety, mobility strategies, and fall prevention
• Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant clinical documentation
• Participate in care planning discussions and case conferences
• Collaborate with physicians, nurses, caregivers, and other care team members to support coordinated patient care
• Support discharge planning and continuity of care
• Participate in quality improvement and continuing education initiatives
