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

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

Tampa is one of our highest-volume markets — post-crash and post-surgical patients along I-275, I-4, the Selmon Expressway, and the Westshore/Downtown corridors generate steady PTA referrals every week. As a Tampa-based PTA on our team, your caseload is built around your home base and the visits you accept.

Coverage typically extends from South Tampa and Westshore out to New Tampa, Brandon, and Town 'N' Country, with optional reach into Riverview, Plant City, and the Carrollwood/Citrus Park communities. Most days you'll see patients within a 20–30 minute drive of your home, not across the entire bay.

Your service area

Working as a PTA in Tampa, Hillsborough County

Tampa sits in Hillsborough County. I-275, I-4, and the Selmon Expressway drive a steady week-over-week volume of post-crash and post-surgical referrals.

Most patient homes sit 20–30 minutes from a South Tampa or Westshore base, so days rarely require full bay-to-bay driving.

Visits are always scoped to the coverage radius you set with the back-office — Tampa openings are never dispatched outside your stated service area.

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.
Flexible scheduling — set your own hours and caseload.
Minimal commute — patients in their homes, near you.
Intake and administrative back-office handled for you.
