Wound Certified Nurse Practitioner (Value-Based Care)

$126k - $166k

The Wound Company

Wound Care Nurse Practitioner

Are you a Nurse Practitioner who wants to practice wound care in homes and assisted living communities the way it was meant to be—focused on patients, not the number of procedures?

The Wound Company is the first and only value-based wound care company in the United States. Unlike every other wound care company that makes money by doing more procedures such as surgical debridement or skin substitutes, The Wound Company has special contracts with insurance companies and medical groups that pay for better, more affordable wound care. Our providers are empowered to spend meaningful time with patients, coordinate care thoughtfully, focus on prevention, and deliver outcomes that truly matter. We prioritize longitudinal patient relationships, early intervention, and clinically appropriate care—not volume-driven, fee-for-service procedures. It is how wound care should be paid for and practiced.

Benefits & Perks

  • Up to 3 weeks of PTO in your first year plus 8 paid holidays and 2 additional floating holidays.
  • Amazing health insurance. 100% employer-paid premium and 75% of premium for your dependents when choosing the base High Deductible Health Plan option
  • 401(k) Retirement Plans
  • Life Insurance & Short-Term Disability
  • Competitive salary
  • No nights or weekends.
  • Part-time options available
  • Opportunity for growth within a rapidly expanding, nationally recognized clinical organization
  • Ongoing support from a highly specialized, wound-certified clinical team

A Typical Day

  • See an average of 3–5 patients per day, primarily through in-person visits
  • Travel within thoughtfully designed geographic zones that group patients together to minimize unnecessary driving
  • Spend extended, meaningful time with each patient to assess, treat, and educate
  • Schedule and follow up with patients based on medical necessity and healing progression, not fixed visit schedules
  • Use the remainder of your day to collaborate closely with home health agencies, ancillary services, and caregivers
  • Ensure your plan of treatment (POT) is being carried out effectively and is achieving the intended clinical outcomes
  • Adjust care plans proactively based on patient progress and care team feedback

What You'll Do

As a Wound Care Nurse Practitioner, you will:

  • Provide comprehensive evaluation and management of acute and chronic wounds, ostomies, and related skin conditions
  • Deliver care primarily in patients' homes and assisted living facilities, with opportunities to expand into skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)
  • Utilize telehealth to enhance access, continuity, and timely interventions when appropriate
  • Perform debridement and other procedures only when medically necessary, in strict alignment with CMS guidelines and best practices
  • Determine visit frequency based on clinical need, ensuring patients are seen on a medically necessary cadence—not routine weekly wound checks
  • Collaborate closely with primary care providers, specialists, and interdisciplinary care teams
  • Develop and implement individualized, evidence-based treatment plans
  • Focus on early intervention, prevention, and durable healing outcomes—not unnecessary procedures

Why Join Us

  • Practice with purpose in a model that rewards quality—not quantity
  • Unlike traditional mobile wound care models, we don't chase procedures—we optimize outcomes.
  • Team culture that prioritizes your safety and well-being
  • Build meaningful, long-term relationships with patients through longitudinal care
  • Deliver care where patients need it most and where you can see the whole picture—in the homes and care communities where patients live
  • Work alongside an elite team of wound-certified Nurse Practitioners and WOCNCB-certified Wound Care Nurses
  • Be part of an innovative organization making wound care more accessible, affordable, and effective in all 50 States & DC.

Who You Are

  • Licensed Nurse Practitioner with a passion for patient-centered, relationship-driven care
  • Wound care certified—or actively pursuing certification (WOCNCB or equivalent)
  • Committed to evidence-based practice and ethical care delivery
  • Comfortable working in home-based and community settings
  • Motivated to be part of a transformational, value-based care model
