Urgently Hiring

Oakland, Macomb, Wayne Counties

Help people move, live, and feel better—on their turf.

We’re looking for Physical Therapists who want to break out of the clinic and into real-life settings where your skills change lives. As an in-home PT, you’ll work one-on-one with clients to help them move better, recover stronger, and get back to doing the things they love.

Whether you’re a new grad or a seasoned pro, this role is all about connection, flexibility, and impact.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Travel to client homes and provide personalized physical therapy sessions
  • Assess movement, strength, and mobility challenges—and build plans that work for real life
  • Teach exercises, functional techniques, and modifications to reduce pain and improve daily living
  • Motivate and guide clients through recovery at their pace
  • Communicate with families and other healthcare team members to keep progress moving

You Might Be a Great Fit If

  • You’re a licensed Physical Therapist (or graduating soon!)
  • You’re all about function, not just fixing symptoms
  • You enjoy one-on-one work and want to build real relationships
  • You’re flexible, independent, and comfortable managing your own schedule
  • You’ve got a valid driver’s license and don’t mind a little windshield time

What You Get

  • Autonomy + support: You're in charge of your day, with backup when you need it
  • Work-life balance: You set your own hours (no late nights, no double-booking)
  • Meaningful progress: Watch clients improve in their own homes where it counts

Career development: Mentorship, CEU support, and chances to grow your niche (neuro, ortho, geriatrics—you name it)

Team vibes: You’re part of a group that’s kind, collaborative, and genuinely in it to help people

Real results. Real people. Real impact.

If you want more than a treadmill clinic job, this is your chance to work at human speed. Bring movement back into people’s lives—right where they live it.

  • Apply now and let’s get people moving again. What We're Looking For:
  • A valid and active Physical Therapist license in the state of Michigan.
  • Experience in physical therapy, especially in a home health setting, is a plus but not required.
  • Great communication skills and a friendly demeanor that connects with patients and their families.
  • The ability to work independently and manage your time effectively.
  • A desire to learn and grow in your role, with a compassionate approach to patient care.
  • A valid driver's license and reliable transportation for home visits.
  • 401K Retirement Plan
  • Ability to earn PTO
  • Medical Benefits Available for all 30+ hourly employees
  • Excellent Pay
  • Flexible Schedule!
  • Employee Appreciation program
  • Rewarding Work Environment
  • Paid General Orientation
