Job Description

  • Physical Therapist (PT) - Home Health
  • Oakland & Alameda
  • $140,000-$190,000 Estimated Annual Base Earnings
  • $67.31-$91.35 Per Hour
  • Guaranteed Full-Time Pay
  • Company Vehicle Available
  • $15,000 Sign-On Bonus
  • Performance Bonuses Paid Every Pay Period + Quarterly Bonus Opportunities
  • Qualified candidates are typically contacted within 1 business day.
  • At Health Link Home Health, we built our model around a simple idea: PHYSICAL THERAPISTS SHOULD FOCUS ON PATIENT CARE.
  • Not the paperwork.
  • Not the scheduling.
  • Not the route planning.
  • Not chasing signatures.
  • Not coordinating DME deliveries.
  • Not chasing visits just to make a full paycheck.
  • Not waiting until 7 PM to find out if a patient confirmed.
  • Not spending evenings catching up on documentation.

Our responsibility is to keep clinicians productive, supported, and paid for their time. Patient cancellations, refusals, and schedule changes happen in home health. Your paycheck should not have to suffer because of them.

If your day runs longer, you are paid for the additional time worked. If you work efficiently and finish early, your guaranteed daily pay remains the same.

  • How Health Link Supports Clinicians
  • Dedicated scheduling team to help coordinate visits and keep your day organized
  • Clinical coordination support for physician communication, orders, and follow-up
  • Authorization and DME support so you can stay focused on patient care
  • AI-assisted documentation technology designed to reduce charting time and after-hours paperwork
  • AI-assisted route planning and territory management designed to reduce unnecessary drive time
  • Company vehicle available to reduce wear and tear on your personal vehicle
  • Strong referral volume and stable local caseloads
  • Responsive clinical leadership and 24-hour clinical support
