Job description

• Jamaica Plain/Roxbury

Site: Mass General Brigham Home Care, Inc.

Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.

Job Summary

The position to which you are applying is represented by a collective bargaining unit, Massachusetts Nurses Association.

Reimagine what physical therapy can look like.

At Mass General Brigham Home Care, you’ll step outside clinic walls and into meaningful, one-on-one care—helping patients regain mobility, independence, and confidence where it matters most: at home.

As a Physical Therapist, you’ll have the independence to use your clinical judgment, manage your schedule, and build meaningful relationships with patients, without giving up the support of a strong team.

Recruitment Areas

• Fenway/Kenmore neighborhoods
• Charlestown/Cambridge neighborhoods
• Dorchester
• Jamaica Plain/Roxbury
• Winthrop/East Boston
• Lynn/Saugus

Territories are assigned based on patient needs and your location. We work with you to align opportunities with your commute and preferences.

Why you’ll like our teams

You have independence, but you’re never on your own.

• A schedule that works for you: Full-time, Part-Time, Monday–Friday (no evenings) or Weekends only, 3–6 visits per day, and the autonomy to manage your own schedule and appointments.
• Geography: Work within a focused service area designed to minimize travel between visits, giving you more time for patient care. Depending on the location, patients may be closer together, and in some cases, you may be able to walk between visits. Enjoy convenient access to the office when you need to replenish supplies. City parking passes are provided for new team members where applicable.
• Dedicated Admission PT support: Dedicated Admission Physical Therapists support new patients coming into the service line and help establish their plan of care, allowing you to focus more of your time on ongoing patient visits.
• Ancillary support services: Scheduling coordinators, liaisons, and other support services help with the administrative and coordination needs of care, allowing you to spend more time focused on your patients.
• Strong team culture: Work alongside a collaborative team that values communication, teamwork, and supporting one another. Weekly interdisciplinary pod meetings, monthly team meetings, and quarterly in-person team days help keep the team connected.
• Support to grow: Ongoing training, education, and opportunities to collaborate across disciplines.

Strong start matters

Home care can be a big transition, especially if you’re coming from a hospital or outpatient setting. Our onboarding is designed to help you feel prepared and confident working independently in the community.

You’ll also have ongoing opportunities for training, education, and professional development.

Your time matters, too

Your schedule includes dedicated time for documentation, chart review, visit preparation, and care coordination. Our MGB electronic documentation system gives you easy access to doctors’ notes and orders, helping make communication and care coordination more seamless.

Your safety matters

Because our clinicians work independently in the community, we provide safety resources to support you in the field, including:

• GPS-enabled safety tools
• Real-time alert features
• Security-supported key fob access

What you’ll do

As a Physical Therapist, you’ll provide one-on-one care in patients’ homes, helping them improve mobility, safety, and independence.

You Will

• Evaluate patients and develop individualized care plans
• Provide PT focused on mobility, strength, balance, and function
• Recommend fall prevention and home safety strategies
• Educate patients and caregivers
• Track progress and adjust care as needed
• Collaborate with the interdisciplinary care team

Qualifications

What you’ll bring

• At least one year of experience in acute care, rehab, or home care as a Physical Therapist
• Current registration with the Massachusetts Board of Registration
• Strong communication skills—verbal, written, and electronic
• Comfort with technology and the ability to learn new systems
• The ability to prioritize, stay organized, and adapt to changing situations
• Willingness to travel throughout Mass General Brigham Healthcare at Home’s geographic area
