Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Jobs in Arcadia, FL — In-Home
Posted June 30, 2026 · PT Near Me · Contract / PRN / Part-time · Pay $60–70/hr
Arcadia and DeSoto County — US-17 and SR-70 — is a quiet rural market with a strong retiree base and growing in-home rehab demand from neighboring Charlotte and Sarasota counties. Post-surgical, balance, and chronic-condition work anchor the caseload.
From an Arcadia base our PTAs commonly cover Nocatee, Fort Ogden, Brownville, and into North Port and Punta Gorda when the route fits. Country drives are longer, but patient adherence is high and the schedule sets itself.

- Document each visit accurately and communicate progress to the supervising PT.
- Keep every home visit safe and professional.

What you need
- Associate's degree from an accredited PTA program.
- Active Florida PTA license (or license-eligible).
- Knowledge of outpatient/home rehab techniques, anatomy, and medical terminology.
- Reliable transportation and the ability to manage your time and service area independently.
