Home Care - PTA

Physical Therapist Assistant

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) to provide in-home outpatient therapy services alongside licensed Physical Therapists. This role offers the opportunity to deliver high-quality, one-on-one patient care in a home settingwhile enjoying flexibility, autonomy, and a manageable documentation workload.

As a PTA, you will implement individualized treatment plans, guide patients through therapeutic exercises, and play a key role in helping adults restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve functional independence.

Why This Role Stands Out

Flexible Scheduling: Choose your service area and set your preferred weekly visit volume.

In-Home Outpatient Model: Provide outpatient-level care without the clinic grind.

Streamlined Documentation: No VNA-style paperwork burden.

Meaningful 1:1 Care: Build stronger patient relationships in a home environment.

Collaborative Support: Work closely with experienced Physical Therapists while maintaining autonomy in your daily treatments.
