Physical Therapist (PT) Jobs in St. Petersburg, FL — In-Home
Posted August 14, 2026 · PT Near Me · Contract / PRN / Part-time · Pay $60–100/hr
St. Pete's growing older-adult and active-retiree population creates strong, year-round in-home PT demand — total joints, balance and fall-prevention, neuro, and crash recovery along I-275 and 4th Street North. PTs here lead a varied caseload with strong continuity from eval to discharge.
From a St. Petersburg home base our PTs typically reach Gulfport, Pinellas Point, Snell Isle, Tyrone, Pinellas Park, and into Seminole and Kenneth City. Skyway visits stay short, and word-of-mouth between neighbors keeps the referral base healthy.

We're hiring a licensed Physical Therapist (PT) to join our team — evaluate new patients in their home, author the plan of care, and lead progression and discharge. A strong fit for a PT who values clinical autonomy, flexible scheduling, and patient-centered care, with competitive per-visit pay, hours you set, and the freedom to add visits whenever you want.

- Author and update the plan of care — goals, frequency, interventions, and discharge criteria.
- Deliver skilled treatment one-on-one in the patient's home — therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, gait and balance training.
- Lead progression, modify the plan as patients respond, and coordinate discharge.
- Direct and supervise PTA visits in accordance with Florida practice act requirements.
- Document evaluations, daily notes, progress notes, and discharge summaries accurately.
What you need
- Doctorate or Master's from an accredited Physical Therapy program.
- Active Florida PT license (or license-eligible).
- Strong clinical reasoning across orthopedic, neuromuscular, and post-trauma cases.
- Reliable transportation and the ability to manage your time and service area independently.
