About Christ Community Health Services
Since 1995, Christ Community Health Services (CCHS) has provided high‑quality healthcare to the underserved in the context of distinctively Christian service. As a faith based Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we serve approximately 60,000 patients each year across our Memphis health centers, offering primary care, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and specialty services to the communities that need them most.
About the Role
We are seeking a compassionate, skilled Nurse Practitioner to provide professional, comprehensive primary medical services for ambulatory CCHS patients in collaboration with our health center staff physicians. In this role, you are a trusted clinical partner in the exam room – assessing, diagnosing, and treating patients, developing and implementing therapeutic plans, and following through on every referral and follow‑up. You'll help extend high‑quality women's health care to the Memphis communities that need it most.
Our Core Values – and What They Look Like in This Role
At CCHS, how the work is done matters as much as what is done. Our core values aren't wall art – they are performance expectations, and here is what they mean for a Nurse Practitioner:
- Intentional Love – Love here is a choice, not a feeling. In this role it means treating every patient with dignity, patience, and respect, regardless of their circumstances, and making sure they feel heard and cared for in every visit – even during a full patient panel or a difficult diagnosis.
- Devoted Service– We are go‑getters who take initiative instead of waiting for someone else to act. In this role it means owning your patients' care end to end, closing every loop on referrals and follow‑ups, collaborating readily with physicians and staff, and stepping up to train students or support colleagues without being asked.
- Humble Excellence – Excellence is not perfection, but we reject mediocrity. In this role it means sound clinical judgment, active participation in peer review and quality improvement, and pursuing the highest standard of care – while staying teachable: welcoming feedback, admitting mistakes early, and continuing your education throughout your career.
What You'll Do
- Provide care for outpatients within your scope of training, in collaboration with CCHS physicians including assessment, ordering and interpretation of data, and development and implementation of a therapeutic plan, including prescription writing, referrals, and procedures within your expertise, protocols, and available equipment, with appropriate follow‑up.
- Attend staff meetings and provider meetings and maintain a level of involvement with health center committees as needed to ensure quality patient care.
- Participate in peer review, performance evaluations, improvement data, and other activities to assess and advance quality improvement measures.
- Maintain productivity expectations of roughly 20 patients per day; providers may be rewarded above a specified monthly average, and salary adjustments may apply if a provider falls below a specified quarterly average.
- Collaborate with CCHS health center staff physicians as appropriate and assist in the educational training of students when asked.
- Participate in Continuing Medical Education, including Life Support Training, to maintain the skills necessary for your duties and as required by your boards and the state.
- Sustain the health necessary to perform your duties and maintain current immunization and PPD status.
- Notify CCHS promptly of any issues regarding drugs, felonies, discipline, loss of license or privileges, or other serious matters.
- Perform other duties as assigned by the Medical Director.
What You'll Bring
- RN with a Master's or Nursing Doctorate (ND), certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC); or a Master's degree in Physician Assistant Studies, Health, or Medical Sciences accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA).
- Certification from the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, the National Board of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners, or an equivalent certifying body; or certification from the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
- Current state licensure to practice medicine in the State of Tennessee.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- Generous Paid Time Off (120 hours in your first year) plus paid holidays.
- Annual paid Restorative Day supporting wellness and work‑life balance.
- Mission‑driven culture, employee recognition programs, and the opportunity to do work that directly expands healthcare access in Memphis.
