Description Job Description & Requirements Physical Therapist - Home Health - (PT - HH) StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 8 D Pay Rate: $2384.00 - $2456.00 This Home Health Physical Therapist opportunity is based in Portland, Oregon, a city known for its vibrant arts scene, walkable neighborhoods, and easy access to some of the Pacific Northwest’s most breathtaking outdoor destinations. Portland offers a unique blend of urban amenities and natural beauty, with tree-lined streets, a thriving food culture, and an extensive network of parks, bike paths, and green spaces. For clinicians who value an active lifestyle, there is convenient access to hiking, skiing, and water activities in the nearby Columbia River Gorge, Mt. Hood, and the Oregon Coast. The position serves patients throughout the broader Portland metro area, allowing you to experience a variety of neighborhoods—from lively urban districts to quiet residential communities. The region is known for its strong healthcare ecosystem and progressive approach to patient-centered care, making it an excellent place to grow a home health career. Portland’s emphasis on wellness, sustainability, and community support aligns well with clinicians who want to make a meaningful impact on patients’ lives in their own homes. As a Home Health Physical Therapist, you will provide one-on-one care in patients’ residences, focusing on restoring mobility, improving safety, and promoting independence. You will perform comprehensive evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, and deliver evidence-based interventions tailored to each patient’s functional goals and home environment. Typical caseloads include adult and geriatric patients recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or transitioning from inpatient facilities to home. Your typical day will involve traveling between patient homes across assigned territories in the Portland area, coordinating closely with a supportive interdisciplinary team that may include nursing, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and social work. You will complete initial assessments, revisit patients for ongoing therapy, and collaborate on care plans designed to reduce falls, prevent rehospitalization, and optimize functional outcomes. Visit volumes and patient assignments are structured to promote quality care and allow time for thorough documentation. You will use a modern electronic medical record system and mobile tools to document visits, communicate with colleagues, and manage your daily schedule. The agency culture is collaborative and clinician-focused, encouraging open communication and shared problem-solving when addressing complex cases. Home health support staff assist with scheduling, coordination, and patient communication, so you can remain focused on delivering high-quality care in the field. Shifts are typically daytime hours with flexibility to structure your day around patient needs and travel patterns. Weekend or on-call rotations may be required depending on agency practices, but are usually scheduled in advance to support work–life balance. The role is designed for therapists who value autonomy, professional judgment, and the ability to see the direct impact of their care in patients’ daily lives. This position offers a strong professional development environment in a city that is friendly to healthcare professionals and travelers alike, with a welcoming community and a wealth of cultural and recreational activities. Working in Portland home health provides a meaningful opportunity to build your skills, expand your experience with diverse patient populations, and enjoy a high quality of life in one of the Pacific Northwest’s most desirable cities.
