About This Role

This PRN position has you providing physical therapy services directly in patients' homes throughout the Sherwood Trails Village area. You'll work with patients recovering from injury, surgery, or illness, delivering hands-on therapy, exercises, and mobility training at their residences. As a PTA, you'll conduct assessments, implement treatment plans developed by supervising physical therapists, and document patient progress. The PRN structure gives you scheduling flexibility—you pick up shifts as needed rather than committing to a set weekly schedule. This role suits PTAs who are self-directed, comfortable working independently in home settings, and genuinely invested in helping patients regain function and independence. Strong communication skills matter since you'll coordinate with patients' families and the broader care team.

Frequently asked questions

  • How does PRN therapy work?

    PRN (per diem) therapists pick up shifts or visits as needed without a fixed weekly schedule. Some employers require a minimum number of shifts per month; home-health PRN is typically paid per visit.

  • Does PRN pay more than full-time?

    Yes — PRN hourly and per-visit rates are typically 15–35% higher than full-time staff rates, since the role doesn't include benefits or guaranteed hours.

  • Are benefits included?

    Most PRN therapy roles do not include health benefits or PTO; the higher rate offsets that. Some larger systems offer benefits at higher commitment tiers.
