Job Summary

Reimagine what a physical therapy assistant career can look like.

At Mass General Brigham Home Care, you’ll step outside clinic walls and into meaningful, one-on-one care—helping patients regain mobility, independence, and confidence where it matters most: at home.

As a Physical Therapist Assistant, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patients’ recovery, build lasting relationships, and work collaboratively with a strong team while enjoying a supportive and rewarding work environment.

• Join our Beantown team
• Most of your visits will be in Boston, with additional coverage in Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Cambridge, Charlestown, China Town, Fenway, Financial District, Kenmore, North End, Prudential, South Boston, South End, and West End.

You’ll work with a diverse patient population, helping people meet their goals in the environment where they live every day.

• Why you’ll like this team
• You have independence, but you’re never on your own.
• •A schedule that works for you: Full-time (40-hours) with no evenings, 6-7 visits per day, and the autonomy to manage your own schedule and appointments.
• •Smaller geography: Work within a focused service area where patients are closer together and your territory is organized around neighborhoods rather than spanning multiple towns or cities. In some areas, you may be able to walk between patient visits, spend less time traveling, and have more time available for patient care. Enjoy the vibrancy of the city while you work, with convenient access to the office when you need to replenish supplies. City parking passes are provided for new team members.
• •Ancillary support services: Scheduling coordinators, liaisons, and other support services help with the administrative and coordination needs of care, allowing you to spend more time focused on your patients.
• •Strong team culture: Work alongside a collaborative team that values communication, teamwork, and supporting one another. Weekly interdisciplinary pod meetings, monthly team meetings, and quarterly in-person team days help keep the team connected.
• •Support to grow: Ongoing training, education, and opportunities to collaborate across disciplines.

• A strong start matters
• Home care can be a big transition, especially if you’re coming from a hospital or outpatient setting. Our onboarding is designed to help you feel prepared and confident working independently in the community. You’ll also have ongoing opportunities for training, education, and professional development.

• Your time matters, too
• Your schedule includes dedicated time for documentation, chart review, visit preparation, and care coordination. Our MGB electronic documentation system gives you easy access to doctors’ notes and orders, helping make communication and care coordination more seamless.

• Your safety matters
• Because our clinicians work independently in the community, we provide safety resources to support you in the field, including:
• •GPS-enabled safety tools
• •Real-time alert features
• •Security-supported key fob access

• What you’ll do
• As a Physical Therapist Assistant, you’ll provide one-on-one care in patients’ homes, helping them improve mobility, safety, and independence under the direction and supervision of a Physical Therapist.
• You’ll:
• •Implement individualized treatment plans developed by the Physical Therapist
• •Provide therapeutic exercises and activities focused on mobility, strength, balance, and function
• •Reinforce fall prevention and home safety strategies
• •Educate patients and caregivers on exercises and safe mobility techniques
• •Monitor patient progress and report changes to the supervising Physical Therapist
• •Document treatments and patient responses
• •Collaborate with the Physical Therapist and interdisciplinary care team to support patient goals
