Job description

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

Destin and the Emerald Coast — Mid-Bay Bridge, US-98, and the 30A corridor — have steady auto-injury referrals from those routes plus year-round personal-injury and post-surgical work. Most visits are crash-recovery cases billed through the patient's auto insurance. From a Destin base our PTAs commonly cover Miramar Beach, Sandestin, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, and Santa Rosa Beach. Most visits stay inside a 25-minute drive. Destin sits in Okaloosa County. An established retiree population plus steady orthopedic and post-surgical referrals from the Mid-Bay Bridge and 30A corridor keep the schedule full. Compact Okaloosa/Walton geography holds most visits inside a 25-minute drive of a Destin base. Communities covered from a Destin base include Miramar Beach, Sandestin, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, Santa Rosa Beach.
