The mission of this role

Deliver excellent home health care to our patients in Detroit, and set the clinical bar, the documentation standard, and the referral-source trust that our market will be built on.

Objectives
  1. Carry a full, high-quality caseload: ramp to ~30 productivity points/week at target visit quality.
  2. Own your patients' outcomes: drive low avoidable-hospitalization rates and strong patient-experience scores; participate in case conferences/team huddles to improve our quality.
  3. Be a referral-source ambassador: every discharge planner, ALF, and physician you touch should want to send the next patient to us because you were responsive and excellent.
  4. Set the standard others copy: your charting, cadence, and judgment become the template we onboard the next cohort against as the pod grows.


What you'll own
  • Deliver skilled PTA visits in the home under the supervising PT's plan of care.
  • Execute treatment plans with a focus on functional mobility and measurable progress: gait/balance, transfers, strengthening, functional mobility, home safety, fall prevention.
  • Set/track objective progress within PTA scope and communicate updates/concerns to the supervising PT.
  • Drive multidisciplinary coordination: escalate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
  • Coach patients and caregivers with practical home programs that actually get done.
  • Document promptly and thoroughly in Homecare Homebase (HCHB) - defensible, efficient, and consistent.
Who you are / how you operate
  • Dedicated clinician: home health experience strongly preferred
  • High ownership: you treat your caseload like your own panel and your pod like your own business.
  • Open mindset: Energized by the opportunity to shape the playbook and refine SOPs
  • Tech-forward: You want to leverage software to accelerate the charting process, and you'll give us blunt feedback to make it better
  • Trust-builder: Patients, families, and referral partners believe you because you do what you say.


Requirements
  • Active Michigan PTA license (in good standing)
  • Reliable transportation, valid driver's license, auto insurance
  • Home health experience strongly preferred
  • Able to carry/transport basic therapy equipment as needed
  • Competency in core home health PTA scope
    • Safety-first mobility work: transfers, gait training, balance/fall prevention, assistive device recommendations
    • Strengthening, functional mobility, and home safety assessment/modification education
    • Patient/caregiver coaching with practical home programs


Our guarantee
  • Full-time target: ~30 productivity points/week; clinicians earn more for exceeding it.
  • Guaranteed floor: ~24 points/week for the first 90 days - if your caseload hasn't filled, you're still paid the floor.


The rest of the package
  • $1k sign-on bonus paid after first 90 days
  • $1k bonus for referrals (we're growing)!
  • Benefits for full-time (medical/dental/vision, PTO)
