Physical Therapist Assistant - Lakewood - Mobile Outpatient

Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) – Home Health | Lakewood, NJ | Full-Time | $35–$55/Visit
Are you a licensed PTA ready to leave behind the double-booking, productivity quotas, and clinic burnout? Stern at Home Therapy is hiring a full-time Physical Therapist Assistant to deliver one-on-one care in patients' homes across Lakewood and Ocean County, NJ.
About Stern at Home Therapy:
We're a home therapy practice built around a simple belief: clinicians do their best work when they have real autonomy. Our PTAs set their own schedules, treat one patient at a time, and have a dedicated admin team behind them handling the logistics. We've built this role to fit your life — not the other way around.
What the Job Looks Like:
You'll implement individualized care plans and treat a primarily geriatric population in their homes across Lakewood, Toms River, Brick, and surrounding Ocean County communities, working closely with supervising PTs. A dedicated admin team manages scheduling, documentation support, and coordination — you focus on the patient in front of you. Shadowing is available if you're newer to home health or just want to see the model before committing.
Our Stern Scheduling Assurance Plan backs up our promise to keep your caseload full: if we can't fill your schedule and can't replace a cancellation, you get paid for up to 2 cancellations per month.
Why PTAs Choose This Role:
$35–$55 per visit, tiered — earn more as you take on more visits.
Salary option available.
Set your own schedule and availability.
One patient at a time — no double-booking, ever.
Fast onboarding — most clinicians start within 2 weeks.
Cancellation protection pay (up to 2/month).
Dedicated admin team handles the rest.
Shadowing available.
Benefits:
Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
PTO and paid holidays.
401(k) retirement plan.
Student loan repayment program.
CEU support.
Commuter support package.
Quarterly wellness stipend.
Childcare assistance.
What We're Looking For:
Active PTA license in New Jersey (required).
Reliable transportation (required).
Minimum 1 year of U.S. clinical experience (preferred).
CPR certification (preferred).
Home health experience preferred — not required.
Strong communication and bedside manner.
How to Apply:
Reach out directly — quick intro call with Yale, and most clinicians are seeing patients within two weeks.
