Entry Level Home Care Physical Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level home care physical therapist job?
Start by highlighting your clinical rotations, fieldwork hours, and any home health or outpatient experience from your DPT program. Employers hiring at the entry level prioritize candidates who demonstrate patient communication skills and comfort working independently in home settings. Obtaining your state PT license before applying and earning a Basic Life Support certification can give you a clear edge over other new graduates.
Which companies hire entry level home care physical therapists?
Companies hiring entry level home care physical therapists right now include Riverview, LLP, OSF HealthCare, and Corewell Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Home health agencies, Medicare-certified home care networks, and hospital-affiliated visiting therapy programs are among the most active employers at this level.
Are there remote entry level home care physical therapist jobs?
Yes, though most home care PT roles are patient-facing and on-site by nature. About 20% of entry level home care physical therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions typically involve telehealth evaluations, care coordination, or documentation support rather than direct hands-on patient treatment.
Are these new grad home care physical therapist jobs?
Yes, many of these openings are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates, candidates with zero to two years of experience, and applicants whose background includes internships or clinical placements rather than full-time work history. A new-grad-friendly posting typically accepts a DPT degree plus completed fieldwork in place of post-licensure experience.
Which industries hire the most entry level home care physical therapists?
Entry Level home care physical therapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Agriculture & Farming, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because aging patient populations and post-acute care demand create steady openings for new graduates who can deliver rehabilitation services directly in patients' homes.
