Job Description

The Home Health Licensed Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) provides direct patient care in the patient's home environment as part of a multidisciplinary team including nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech, social work, and home health techs. The PTA will provide direct, one-on-one patient care in accordance with the plan of care designed by the supervising therapist. The home health agency relies heavily on technology; email is a primary means of communication, and the PTA will use a laptop to complete documentation in an electronic record. The patient population varies widely across the spectrums of acuity, age, and diagnosis. The PTA works under the supervision of a therapist and a physical therapy team that is under the direction of a clinical team manager. Employment begins with a 4-6-week orientation with a seasoned preceptor to ensure that the clinician is well prepared when they begin treating on their own. Additional job duties may include performance improvement opportunities, and other duties as assigned by the clinical manager. Working in home health provides endless variety of setting, scenery, and clinical challenges, and provides a unique opportunity to enter and work within the real life environments of our patients, bringing meaningful change to their daily lives.
