Nurse Practitioner - Sphere Senior

Department: Clinical Operations, Sphere Senior

Reports To: Medical Director / Geriatric Care Operations Director

Employment Type: Full-Time

Setting: Field-Based (In-Home) + Remote Clinical Support

Sphere Senior is an AI-native, home-based primary care program built for older adults with serious, complex medical needs, people who deserve more than rushed office visits and reactive emergency care. We deliver primary care, chronic disease management, care transitions support, and serious illness/palliative care directly in the home.

Our proprietary clinical intelligence platform, SphereOS, works alongside you in real time, surfacing risk flags, streamlining documentation, tracking care gaps, and keeping the full care team coordinated. You'll practice at the top of your license, supported by technology that actually reduces your cognitive load instead of adding to it.

You won't be doing this alone. You'll have a supervising Medical Director, a dedicated interdisciplinary team, and a care infrastructure designed so you can focus on what you do best: caring for patients.

As a Nurse Practitioner at Sphere Senior, you are the primary clinical presence for a panel of complex, high-needs older adults, in their homes, where they live and where care has the most impact. You'll manage chronic conditions, navigate serious illness conversations, prevent avoidable hospitalizations, and build the kind of longitudinal patient relationships that define exceptional primary care.

This is a high-autonomy role, you own your panel, you drive care planning, and you make real clinical decisions. It's also a high-support role for SphereOS, your Medical Director, care coordinators, and the broader team are with you every step of the way.
