Job Description & Requirements
Physical Therapist Assistant - Home Health - (PTA - HH)
StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 8 D Pay Rate: $1793.00 - $1848.00

This Home Health Physical Therapist Assistant position is based in Atlanta, Georgia, a dynamic and rapidly growing city that blends southern charm with cosmopolitan energy. Atlanta offers a vibrant mix of arts, music, sports, and cuisine, with renowned attractions such as world-class museums, major league sports teams, cultural festivals, and a thriving restaurant scene. The city’s extensive park network, including the BeltLine and numerous green spaces, provides ample opportunities for running, cycling, and outdoor recreation. Neighborhoods range from historic and tree-lined to modern and urban, giving you flexibility to live in a community that matches your lifestyle. You will practice in a home health environment that emphasizes one-on-one, patient-centered care. As a PTA, you will provide skilled interventions under the direction and supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist, helping patients regain function, improve mobility, and safely remain in their homes. Typical patients include adults and older adults recovering from surgery, stroke, cardiopulmonary events, orthopedic injuries, chronic conditions, and deconditioning. You will work with individuals and their caregivers to implement personalized treatment plans and home exercise programs that promote independence and reduce the risk of rehospitalization. A typical day in this role includes traveling between patients’ homes throughout the greater Atlanta area, performing comprehensive treatment sessions, and documenting care using an EMR system. Visit volume is designed to allow for thorough, high-quality care, with a focus on functional goals such as transfers, gait training, balance, and strength. You will collaborate closely with the supervising Physical Therapist and an interdisciplinary team to adjust plans of care, communicate changes in patient status, and coordinate services. Patient caseloads are primarily adult and geriatric, with opportunities to work with specialty populations depending on agency needs. Shifts are generally daytime hours on weekdays, with some flexibility to accommodate patient needs and your schedule. Weekend or holiday coverage may be requested on a limited basis depending on census and staffing. Autonomy is a key feature of this role: you will manage your daily schedule, prioritize visits, and adapt to varying home environments while maintaining high standards of safety and professionalism. Working in Atlanta’s home health setting offers the chance to build your skills in a supportive, collaborative environment while enjoying all the benefits of living in a major healthcare and cultural hub. You will be able to develop meaningful relationships with patients and families, contribute directly to improved quality of life, and grow professionally within an active and respected healthcare community.
