Home Health RN

Alright, let's talk about this PRN Home Health Physical Therapist role with St. David's Healthcare at Home in Austin, TX. I've been placing clinicians in home health for over a decade, and I can tell you this isn't just another listing. This is about doing the core work of therapy where it matters most; in someone's living room.

The Work

You're the expert who helps people get back to their lives after an illness, injury, or surgery. You'll rebuild strength, restore mobility, and honestly, rebuild confidence. That's the real win.

Your day starts with understanding what your patient needs. You'll evaluate them, then build a personalized treatment plan with their physician and the care team. You don't just follow a script; you design the program around goals that actually mean something to the person you're helping.

• You deliver interventions that are proven to work, focusing on restoring movement and reducing pain.
• Tracking progress is key. You'll monitor how things are going, adjust the plan as needed, and make sure all your documentation is spot on and timely.
• A huge part of the job is teaching patients and their families. You're showing them exercise programs, adaptive techniques, and safe practices so they can be more independent.
• Collaboration isn't a buzzword here. You'll work closely with nurses, social workers, and other pros to make sure care is cohesive and transitions are smooth.
• If you're guiding a therapy assistant or a student, you lead by example. The team looks for the values this place was built on: excellence, compassion, integrity.

What You Need to Bring

The must haves are pretty clear cut. They need someone who's fully qualified and ready for the flexibility of home health.

• A Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from an accredited program.
• You have to have passed the National Certification Examination for Registered Physical Therapists.
• A current license to practice physical therapy in this state.
• The schedule varies; you need to be available for weekends and holidays when needed.
• You must be a licensed driver with a car that's insured (meeting state and org requirements) and in good working order. This is non negotiable; you're driving to see patients.

The Schedule & Pay

This is a PRN position covering North Austin. Hours will vary based on patient needs. The pay structure is designed for PRN work; we can discuss the specific rates when we talk because it reflects your experience and this specialty.
