Physical Therapist (PT) – Home Health | Lakewood, NJ | PRN / Part-Time / Full-Time | W2 or 1099

Are you a licensed PT ready to leave behind the double-booking, productivity quotas, and clinic burnout? Stern at Home Therapy is hiring Physical Therapists at all commitment levels — PRN, part-time, and full-time — to deliver one-on-one care in patients' homes across Lakewood and Ocean County, NJ.

About Stern at Home Therapy:

We're a home therapy practice built around a simple belief: clinicians do their best work when they have real autonomy. Our PTs set their own schedules, treat one patient at a time, and have a dedicated admin team behind them handling the logistics. Whether you want a full caseload or just a few visits a week, we've built this role to fit your life — not the other way around.

What the Job Looks Like:

You'll evaluate and treat a primarily geriatric population in their homes across Lakewood, Toms River, Brick, and surrounding Ocean County communities, creating and executing your own individualized treatment plans with full clinical autonomy. A dedicated admin team manages scheduling, documentation support, and coordination — you focus on the patient in front of you. Shadowing is available if you're newer to home health or just want to see the model before committing.

Our Stern Scheduling Assurance Plan backs up our promise to keep your caseload full: if we can't fill your schedule and can't replace a cancellation, you get paid for up to 2 cancellations per month.
