Advanced Practice Provider Medical

Job Description

We are an independent medical provider group seeking a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to care for patients at a detox facility in Burns, Tennessee. Our group provides the facility’s medical services, including care during detoxification and weekly clinic appointments with patients. This position follows a rotating schedule of seven consecutive days working, followed by seven consecutive days off.

The first days of recovery can be physically and emotionally difficult. We want patients to have a provider who listens, takes their concerns seriously, and helps them feel safe while making careful clinical decisions. You’ll be part of a team that shares knowledge, supports one another, and works together to give patients consistent, thoughtful care.

What you’ll do

• Complete admission assessments and ongoing medical evaluations during your scheduled rotation.
• Assess and manage withdrawal symptoms in accordance with clinical protocols.
• See patients for scheduled weekly clinic appointments, address medical concerns, and provide follow-up care.
• Order and review medications, laboratory tests, and other appropriate services within the scope of your license.
• Recognize changes in a patient’s condition and arrange a higher level of care when needed.
• Document care accurately and promptly.
• Work closely with our medical team and the facility’s nursing and treatment staff.

What we’re looking for

• A Tennessee-licensed Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA).
• Appropriate prescriptive authority for the role.
• Experience in detoxification, addiction medicine, behavioral health, emergency medicine, or inpatient care preferred.
• Strong clinical judgment, clear communication, and a collaborative approach to patient care.

If you believe good medical care starts with seeing the person in front of you—and you enjoy being part of a team that cares deeply about its work—we would love to hear from you.
