Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Jobs in Sarasota, FL — In-Home

Posted October 2, 2026 · PT Near Me · Contract / PRN / Part-time · Pay $60–70/hr

Sarasota's mix of retirees and post-crash patients along US-41 and I-75 makes it a steady market for in-home PT, and PTAs here often build longer-term, lower-intensity caseloads with strong patient adherence.

From a Sarasota home base, our PTAs typically cover Downtown, Gulf Gate, Siesta Key, the Palmer Ranch corridor, Lakewood Ranch, and into Bradenton and Venice when the route fits. The shorter drives and concentrated patient base make this a favorite PTA territory.

Educate patients and caregivers on home exercises, mobility strategies, and safety.
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.
Your own professional liability insurance.
AHCA Level 2 background screening.
Home health experience required.

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.
