Job description

Physical Therapist (PT) - Home Health

Serving patients across Allentown | Full-time

Therapy Where It Matters Most

In home health, you treat patients where real life happens: the stairs they climb, the bathroom they navigate, the kitchen they want to cook in again. You design therapy around those goals and watch patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence.

And here's our promise to you: when you come to work with us, we go to work with you. As a Home Health Physical Therapist, you'll never feel alone in this. You'll have a team behind you, a local owner who knows your name, and a system built to support you, so therapy can feel like therapy again. This is what real support looks like: an office that answers the phone, has your back, and celebrates the difference you make every single day.

Why Interim HealthCare

At Interim HealthCare of Allentown, therapists are trusted as clinical experts and supported as people. Our model prioritizes clinician support, flexibility, professional judgment, and personalized patient care.
