Document each visit accurately and communicate progress to the supervising PT.
Keep every home visit safe and professional.
Treat a range of cases — post-accident, post-surgical, and chronic-condition patients.

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.
Strong communication skills and a passion for helping patients regain function at home.
Home-based care experience preferred.

What we offer

Pay works out to $60–70 per hour, billed per visit as a 1099 contractor — your exact per-visit rates are confirmed by region during intake.

Minimal commute — patients in their homes, near you.
Scheduling and administrative back-office handled for you.
Supportive team and streamlined documentation tools.
