Job Summary

Bring your clinical expertise beyond the hospital wallswhile still practicing at the top of acute care. Mass General Brigham's Home Hospital program is redefining how inpatient care is delivered. As a Per Diem Physical Therapist, you'll treat medically complex patients in their homesproviding true inpatient-level care in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment.

Why This Role Is Different:

This is not traditional home care. You'll work with patients who meet acute inpatient criteria, collaborating closely with physicians, nurses, and the broader care team as conditions evolve in real time. Think: active medical management, medication changes, ongoing diagnostics, and rapid care plan adjustmentsall happening in the home setting. You'll also be part of a small, highly collaborative PT team (4 full-time PTs) helping to build and grow one of the largest Home Hospital programs in the country. If you're looking for flexibility without stepping away from acute-level care, this role offers a rare opportunity to do both.
