Description

Stern at Home Therapy is hiring Full-Time and Part-Time Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) to provide one-on-one care to patients in their homes throughout Newark, NJ and surrounding communities.
This opportunity is ideal for a licensed PTA who wants the flexibility and autonomy of home health while still having the support of supervising Physical Therapists and an established clinical and administrative team.
Treat one patient at a time, manage your daily schedule, and provide individualized care without the double-booking and high-volume productivity expectations common in traditional outpatient settings.

You will work under the supervision of licensed Physical Therapists who establish each patient's plan of care and provide clinical oversight. PTAs do not perform evaluations, allowing you to focus on treatment and helping patients progress toward their established goals.
Responsibilities include:
- Provide one-on-one physical therapy treatments in patients' homes.
- Carry out individualized treatment plans established by the supervising Physical Therapist.
- Help patients improve mobility, strength, balance, endurance, safety, and overall function.

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