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

Melbourne and the Space Coast have grown quickly along I-95, US-1, and Wickham Road, and the added traffic shows up as steady crash-recovery volume. Brevard's older coastal communities add a strong post-surgical and balance caseload. From a Melbourne home base our PTAs typically cover Palm Bay, West Melbourne, Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, and into Rockledge and Viera. Routes run north-south along the corridor, which keeps drive time low. Melbourne sits in Brevard County.
