PT Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pt in Florida?
To become a licensed physical therapist in Florida, you must graduate from a CAPTE-accredited Doctor of Physical Therapy program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination, and apply for licensure through the Florida Board of Physical Therapy Practice, which operates under the Florida Department of Health. Florida does not participate in the PT Compact, so out-of-state therapists must apply directly for a Florida license. Applications require proof of education, examination scores, and a background check.
How much do PTs make in Florida?
PTs in Florida earn a median of about $35,140 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $30,620 for the lowest 10% to over $44,180 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pts in Florida?
Employers hiring pts in Florida right now include The Lakes Home Care, Tory Burch, and Ace Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's mix of large hospital systems, dedicated rehabilitation networks like Brooks Rehabilitation, and outpatient orthopedic group practices means consistent openings across multiple care settings statewide.
Which Florida cities have the most pt jobs?
Miami, Orlando, and Tampa are the Florida cities with the most pt openings, driven by the concentration of major hospital systems, multi-site outpatient rehabilitation groups, and large senior care communities in those metro areas, with smaller markets like Jacksonville also active due to Brooks Rehabilitation's regional presence and a growing retirement-age population along Florida's coasts.
Are there remote pt jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on clinical role and the large majority of positions require in-person patient contact, so fully remote work is limited. About 20% of pt openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to involve telehealth consultations, home exercise program oversight, or administrative and supervisory functions rather than direct treatment.
How can I get hired as a pt in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new graduate residency programs, which large Florida employers including AdventHealth and Brooks Rehabilitation run in orthopedic and neurological specialties. Targeting outpatient orthopedic clinics and skilled nursing facilities is practical because both settings hire new graduates regularly. Completing clinical rotations at Florida facilities builds local references, and obtaining your Florida license promptly after passing the NPTE signals readiness to employers who need someone who can start billing immediately.
Where can I find and apply to pt jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to pt jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings across hospital systems, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation networks, and skilled nursing facilities. Find roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the positions that match.
