About our client & the role:

Our client is on a mission to deliver palliative care without walls across New Jersey, partnering with skilled nursing facilities, home‑based providers, and leading health systems. Our client is hiring an experienced Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to provide outpatient and SNF‑based palliative care across Essex & Hudson for patients living with serious illness. This is the experienced‑provider track: 2+ years of palliative, hospice, or other serious‑illness care is required.

Why you'll want 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.

What you'll do:

• Perform at the top of your license, delivering 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 Burlington County, with mileage reimbursement and clinical/EMR support provided.

What you bring:

• 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 palliative care or closely related serious‑illness experience required (hospice, palliative, SNF/LTC, oncology, geriatrics).
• Palliative care certification (e.g., ACHPN / CHPN) preferred.
• Strong communication, clinical judgment, compassion, and comfort working on interdisciplinary teams.

Compensation & total rewards:

• Competitive base salary: $130,000–$160,000/year.
• Annual performance bonus up to 12.5% of base salary, rewarding both productivity (RVUs) and quality of care.
• 28 days of paid time off your first year, growing to 33 days at 2 years, in one flexible bank.
• Malpractice & professional liability ($1M / $3M), license & DEA renewals, up to $1,000/year CME, up to $2,000 tuition reimbursement.
• Medical via Cigna PPO, including a $0/month employee‑only option, plus dental, vision, and an HSA.
• Short‑ and long‑term disability, voluntary life & AD&D, and accident / critical‑illness / hospital coverage.
• 401(k) retirement plan, plus pre‑tax FSA, dependent‑care FSA, HSA, and commuter benefits.
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Program, identity‑theft protection, legal plan, pet benefits, and member discounts.

This position is full‑time, and full‑time is our client's strong preference. That said, exceptional clinicians sometimes need a different arrangement, and for the right candidate, our client is open to discussing part‑time or per‑diem schedules.
