Job Description

Physical Therapist (PT) – Home Health | Toms River, NJ | PRN / Part-Time / Full-Time | $55–$85/Visit

Are you a licensed PT ready to leave behind the double-booking, productivity quotas, and clinic burnout? Stern at Home Therapy is hiring Physical Therapists at all commitment levels — PRN, part-time, and full-time — to deliver one-on-one care in patients' homes in and around Toms River, 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 PTs set their own schedules, treat one patient at a time, and have a dedicated admin team behind them handling the logistics. Whether you want a full caseload or just a few visits a week, we've built this role to fit your life — not the other way around.

What the Job Looks Like

You'll evaluate and treat a primarily geriatric population in their homes across Toms River, creating and executing your own individualized treatment plans with full clinical autonomy. 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 PTs Choose This Role

  • $55–$85 per visit, tiered — earn more as you take on more visits.
  • Salary option available for full-time clinicians.
  • Set your own schedule and availability.
  • One patient at a time — no double-booking, ever.
  • Full clinical autonomy over your treatment plans.
  • 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 PT license in New Jersey (required).
  • Home health experience preferred — not required.
  • Strong communication and bedside manner.
