Setting
· License:
Outpatient - SNF & community, Ocean County NJ
· New Jersey NP or PA license required

Mission to deliver palliative care without walls across New Jersey, partnering with skilled nursing facilities, home-based providers, and leading health systems. We are hiring a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to provide outpatient and SNF-based palliative care across Ocean County for patients living with serious illness. Palliative care experience is helpful but not required - clinicians with strong communication and serious-illness judgment from oncology, critical care, hospital medicine, geriatrics, SNF/LTC, primary care, or home-based care should consider this role.

A structured ramp into palliative care: pair with experienced specialists and grow through mentorship, clinical backup, and data-guided coaching.

A real interdisciplinary team: physicians, APPs, social work, care coordination, and operational support.

Clear workflows and quality expectations - not a sink-or-swim field role.

Primarily a Monday-Friday schedule with flexibility to swap workdays.

• 28 PTO days in year one and a $0/month employee-only medical option.
• Academic pathways, CME up to $1,000/year, and tuition reimbursement up to $2,000.

Perform at the top of your license, performing best practice, holistic, patient-centered, evidence-based interdisciplinary palliative medicine.

Provide palliative care consultations and follow-up visits across skilled nursing settings, including short-stay subacute/rehab patients with recent hospitalizations, high symptom burden, or complex goals-of-care needs, as well as ongoing management of long-term care residents.

Deliver palliative assessments and follow-up visits in SNFs and community settings.

Manage complex symptoms for patients with advanced illness and chronic disease.

Lead goals-of-care and advance care planning conversations with patients and families, coordinating with partner home health and/or hospice agencies if and when appropriate.

Partner with the interdisciplinary team and facility staff, primary care, and hospice.

Support transition planning across the SNF stay - from admission after hospitalization through discharge home, return to long-term care, rehospitalization decisions, hospice transition, or other next-site-of-care planning.

Complete timely documentation aligned with clinical, billing, and quality standards.

Travel locally within Ocean County, with mileage reimbursement and clinical/EMR support provided.

Active New Jersey Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant license and national board certification.

DEA CDS registration, or ability to obtain by start date.

2 years of clinical experience preferred; palliative care experience helpful, and high-potential APPs from relevant serious-illness settings considered.

Palliative care certification (e.g., ACHPN / CHPN) preferred.

Strong communication, clinical judgment, compassion, and comfort working on interdisciplinary teams.
