Physical Therapist

Alright, let's talk about this job. I've been placing therapists in home care for over a decade, and this is one of the more straightforward, clinician focused postings I've seen from a major provider. They're clear on what they need and what they give.

You're a Physical Therapist. Your office is your car and your patient's living room. The goal isn't just to treat; it's to keep people out of the hospital by healing where they're most comfortable. You design the program, you deliver it one on one, and you get to see the real world progress because you're in their home. It's a different kind of accountability and reward.

What you'll do

You'll manage your own caseload in the community, working as part of an interdisciplinary team but making your own clinical calls.

• Perform comprehensive assessments to determine patient needs and develop full treatment plans with expected outcomes.
• The therapy itself is delivered personally, in the patient's home or care facility.
• Your plan isn't static. You'll constantly evaluate how the patient is doing and adjust the course of care as their needs evolve.

What you need to have

• A New York State License and current registration in Physical Therapy. Non negotiable.
• At least one year of PT experience. If you don't have that year, they'll consider candidates who successfully complete a probationary period as a VNS Health Rehab Intern.
• A valid driver's license is required if you're working anywhere outside Manhattan.

Schedule & Pay

This is a full time role. The annual base pay range is $85,000 to $127,500 per year.

They also listed per visit rates if you're looking at a per diem version of the position. It's location based:

• Most areas (everywhere except the Bronx and specific parts of Brooklyn): $70 to $75 per visit.
• The Bronx: Weekday visits are $95; weekend visits are $100.
• Parts of Brooklyn (Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Greenpoint only): Same as the Bronx - $95 on weekdays, $100 on weekends.

The benefits (they're good)

VNS Health has been around for 130 years. They're stable and their benefits package shows it.

• Generous PTO right from the start: 30 days of paid time off plus 9 company holidays.
• A full health insurance plan for you and your family: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, and Disability coverage.
• A retirement plan with an employer matched savings fund.
• Programs for personal and financial wellness.
• Pre tax flexible spending accounts (FSAs) for healthcare and dependent care expenses.
• Serious support for continuing education: generous tuition reimbursement for qualifying degrees and CEU credits.
• A clear path up: there are real opportunities for professional growth, career advancement, and internal mobility within the organization.
• They also mention referral bonus opportunities.

The bigger picture

The company is VNS Health; one of the country’s largest nonprofit home health organizations. They’ve been doing this since before anyone called it “home health.” On any given day, over 10k clinicians are out there serving more than 43k patients across New York. Their whole model is built on data informed care that lets people heal at home.
