• Educate patients and caregivers on home exercises, mobility strategies, and safety.

• Keep every home visit safe and professional.
• Treat a range of cases — post-accident, post-surgical, and chronic-condition patients.

What you need

• Associate's degree from an accredited PTA program.
• Active Florida PTA license (or license-eligible).
