VNS Health is seeking a dedicated Physical Therapist Assistant to join our Healthcare & Medical Services team, providing high-quality, patient-centered care in home and community settings throughout New York City. As a key member of an interdisciplinary care team, you will work under the supervision and direction of a licensed Physical Therapist to carry out individualized treatment plans that help patients improve mobility, strength, balance, and overall function so they can safely remain in their homes and communities. You will conduct assigned therapeutic exercises and functional mobility training, assist with gait and transfer training, reinforce patient and caregiver education on home exercise programs and safe body mechanics, and carefully observe and report patient responses and changes in condition to the supervising Physical Therapist and clinical team. You will document all care in accordance with agency, state, and regulatory standards, using electronic health records to ensure accurate, timely, and compliant charting.

As a Physical Therapist Assistant, you will benefit from ongoing training, mentorship from experienced clinicians, and opportunities to expand your clinical skills across diverse patient populations and conditions commonly managed in home care, including post-surgical recovery, neurological diagnoses, cardiopulmonary conditions, and chronic musculoskeletal issues. This position requires strong time management and organizational skills, as you will travel between home visits within New York City, prioritize your daily schedule, and adapt to changing patient needs while maintaining high standards of safety and infection control in the field. Ideal candidates are compassionate, dependable, and skilled in therapeutic exercise, functional mobility training, and patient education, with a commitment to preserving patient dignity and promoting independence.
