Job description

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

Fort Lauderdale and the broader Broward corridor — I-95, I-595, Federal Highway, and the SR-7/441 strip — produce steady auto-injury and post-surgical referrals. The compact geography is a real advantage for PTAs: most patients live within a short drive of one another. Our Fort Lauderdale PTAs typically work from a base in the city out to Plantation, Sunrise, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, Pompano Beach, and southward into Hollywood and Dania Beach. You pick the corner of Broward you want to cover, and we keep the visits inside it. Fort Lauderdale sits in Broward County. I-95, I-595, Federal Highway, and the SR-7/441 corridor produce steady auto-injury and post-surgical referral volume. Broward's compact geography lets you own one corner of the county without long highway drives between visits. Communities covered from a Fort Lauderdale base include Plantation, Sunrise, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Dania Beach.
