Description
Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) — Home Health | $10K Sign-On Bonus
Full-Time / Per Diem | San Francisco, CA
$58–$68/hour | $10,000 Sign-On Bonus
Full-time means a full-time paycheck. Our therapists are paid hourly for their scheduled hours, including drive time and documentation. No per-visit pay, no unpaid charting, and a growing patient census that keeps your schedule steady.
At Health Link Home Health & Hospice, we believe great patient care starts with supporting the clinicians who deliver it. For over 20 years, we've served the Bay Area with a focus on clinical quality, strong systems, and a collaborative culture. We're growing our San Francisco team and looking for a PTA who wants meaningful work, modern tools, and a team that's truly there for them.
You'll see patients across SF's neighborhoods, from the Sunset and Richmond to the Mission and beyond, with a territory designed to minimize drive time and keep your day manageable.
Why PTAs Choose Health Link
- Reliable income: Many agencies promise full-time work but only pay per visit, so a light week means a smaller paycheck. At Health Link, full-time staff are paid hourly for their scheduled hours, and our growing census means a steady, consistent caseload.
- Hourly pay that covers your whole day: A long visit, a tough drive across the city, or a complex note never costs you money.
- Earn up to 25% more: On top of your hourly pay, earn daily, per-payroll, and quarterly bonuses based on completed visits and use of our AI-assisted documentation.
- AI-assisted charting: Smart documentation tools on company devices that cut charting time and keep your evenings free.
- Real-time support: Experienced case managers and your supervising PT are available to help with scheduling, patient issues, or clinical questions.
- SF-friendly commute: Mileage reimbursement, a company vehicle (based on availability), or rideshare credits.
- A manageable pace: Organized scheduling, territories designed to minimize drive time, and a team that respects your time.

About this role
Health Link Home Health & Hospice is hiring a PTA to work across San Francisco's neighborhoods, delivering skilled physical therapy in patients' homes. You'd provide gait training, therapeutic exercise, balance work, and fall prevention under PT supervision, while educating patients and caregivers on home programs and safety. The role involves travel throughout SF County, but the territory is designed to keep your commute reasonable, and you'll have mileage reimbursement, rideshare credits, or access to a company vehicle.
What sets this position apart is the compensation structure. You're paid hourly for your full scheduled day—including drive time and documentation—rather than per visit, which means your paycheck stays steady even during lighter weeks. The company uses AI-assisted charting tools to cut documentation time, and you'll have real-time support from case managers and your supervising PT. At $54.81–$64.90 per hour plus a $10,000 sign-on bonus, full-time work could reach $114K–$135K annually.
You'll need a current California PTA license and valid driver's license. Home health experience is preferred, but strong outpatient, SNF, or hospital backgrounds are welcome—Health Link provides orientation for those transitioning into home health. The role is full-time or per diem, Monday through Friday with weekend availability as a plus.
