Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Jobs in St. Petersburg, FL — In-Home

Posted August 14, 2026 · PT Near Me · Contract / PRN / Part-time · Pay $60–70/hr

St. Pete's growing population of older adults and active retirees creates strong, year-round in-home rehab demand — from total joints to balance and fall-prevention work to crash recovery along I-275 and 4th Street North. PTAs here see less freeway driving than their Tampa-side counterparts.

From a St. Petersburg home base, our PTAs typically reach Gulfport, Pinellas Point, Snell Isle, Tyrone, Pinellas Park, and into Seminole and Kenneth City. The Sunshine Skyline visits stay short, and you build deep continuity of care with neighbors who refer their neighbors.
