Job description

Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) — In-Home, Florida

Avon Park sits between Sebring and Frostproof on US-27, a corridor with steady auto-injury volume, and the surrounding Highlands County retiree population drives a reliable base of post-joint-replacement and fall-prevention work. From an Avon Park home base our PTAs commonly serve Sebring, Lake Placid, Frostproof, and into Lorida. Days are calm, patient follow-through is strong, and the town itself is small enough that most visits are within ten minutes of one another. Avon Park sits in Highlands County.
