- 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.
- Strong communication skills and a passion for helping patients regain function at home.
- Home-based care experience preferred.
What we offer
- Competitive per-visit pay (rates discussed by region during intake).
- Flexible scheduling — set your own hours and caseload.
