Job Description

Title: Physical Therapist - Mobile Outpatient

Location: Manhattan, NY 10001

Employment Type: Full-Time (Part-Time & PRN considered based on availability)

Pay: Up to $145,000/year (full-time); part-time and PRN options also available

Home Health Physical Therapist | Manhattan, NY | Full-Time | Up to $145K/Year

Tired of double-booking, productivity quotas, and clinic burnout? Stern at Home Therapy is hiring full-time Physical Therapists to provide one-on-one care to patients throughout Manhattan — with established caseloads already built on both the East Side and West Side, so you can create an efficient schedule with minimal travel between visits. Strong candidates with part-time or PRN availability are also welcome to apply.

Why PTs Are Applying to This Role

  • Full-time 1099 clinicians can earn up to $145,000/year based on visit volume
  • Choose your structure — full-time W-2, full-time 1099, full-time salary, or part-time/PRN if that fits your availability better
  • One patient at a time — no double-booking, ever
  • Full clinical autonomy over evaluations and treatment plans
  • Established East Side and West Side caseloads — less travel, more efficient days
  • Flexible scheduling and control over your own availability
  • Cancellation protection pay (up to 2 paid cancellations/month)
  • Fast onboarding — most clinicians start seeing patients within 2 weeks
  • Shadowing available if you're newer to home health

About Stern at Home Therapy

  • Coordinate with our administrative team on scheduling and logistics
  • Manage your caseload according to your own availability and chosen employment structure
