Job Description

Travel Clinician (Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, Certified Nurse Midwife)

REPORTS TO: Practice Manager | Lead Clinician
STATUS: Exempt/Salaried | Full-Time

*This is a Full-Time Traveling Clinician role designed as a primary coverage resource across multiple health centers. Candidates applying to this requisition should be specifically interested in a travel-focused position, with the expectation of regularly supporting clinics beyond their home-base.

While this role is anchored in a designated home-base clinic, it functions as a priority resource for travel and coverage needs across the organization. Clinicians seeking a more stationary, single-location position are encouraged to apply to our non-traveling clinician opportunities.

This role must be based in Memphis, Nashville, or Knoxville—or in close proximity to one of these locations—as it requires regular travel throughout our Tennessee footprint to support all clinic locations. Please note that this position does not include employer-provided housing or relocation for travel assignments; candidates should be able to reliably work and travel to and from their home-base clinic locations as needed.*
