Job description

About Pear Suite

Pear Suite is an early-stage digital health company building software for community-based care. Our care navigation platform equips community health workers, doulas, care navigators, and the organizations that support them with tools to collect, visualize, and act on social determinants of health data. We help community-based organizations, health systems, and government-funded care programs deliver more coordinated, person-centered care.

Why Pear Suite?

We’re a mission-driven team committed to health equity and innovation in community-based care. You’ll thrive here if you’re eager to take initiative, value autonomy, and enjoy building structure where none exists. Join us to build scalable, human-centered technology that empowers frontline workers and improves lives across the U.S.

About The Role

This role is designed for the Nurse Practitioner who values flexibility, thrives in a virtual care environment, and is excited to grow alongside a company that is scaling quickly. You will start on a PRN basis, picking up shifts based on your availability and patient demand with a genuine pathway to a more consistent, long-term role as volume increases and service footprint expands.
In this role, you will conduct clinical assessments enabling patients to access Community Health Worker (CHW) services, helping them overcome barriers to care, social services, improve stability and achieve better health outcomes through appropriate referrals and utilization of medical and social services. This is a patient-centered role that blends clinical judgment with care coordination in a value-based, whole-person care model.

Why This Role Matters

For many patients, health outcomes are shaped as much by housing instability, transportation challenges, and access to resources as determined by clinical conditions. This role plays a critical part in identifying those barriers and activating the right supports. As a Nurse Practitioner on this team, you serve as the clinical gateway to CHW services, helping to improve patient experience, reduce avoidable emergency department use, improve continuity of care, and ensure patients receive the right support at the right time.

What You'll Do

• Conduct telehealth clinical evaluations to assess acute and chronic health needs, preventive care needs, and social drivers of health.
• Determine clinical appropriateness for CHW services and make referrals for care coordination and community-based support when indicated.
• Develop individualized care plans addressing both clinical needs and social determinants of health factors.
• Collaborate closely with Community Health Workers to support patient engagement and follow-through.
• Address appropriate acute, chronic, preventive, and medication-management needs within the scope of the program, including prescribing and renewing non-controlled medications when clinically indicated.
• Document visits accurately and timely in accordance with clinical, state, federal, and program requirements.
• Help patients navigate complex healthcare systems and connect to appropriate medical and community resources.

Qualifications

• Active, unrestricted Nurse Practitioner/APRN license and all applicable prescribing or furnishing authority required for practice in the state(s) in which the NP will provide care.
• Must be licensed in at least one of the following states:
  • Alaska (AK)
  • Arizona (AZ)
  • California (CA)
  • Louisiana (LA)
  • New Mexico (NM)
  • Nevada (NV
• Licensure in multiple states strongly preferred, with willingness to obtain additional state licenses as needed.
• Experience in primary care, family medicine, internal medicine, urgent care, or chronic disease management strongly preferred; telehealth experience a plus.
• Experience working with Medicaid and Medicare populations.
• Strong understanding of social determinants of health and their impact on patient outcomes.
• Comfortable with telehealth platforms and building rapport virtually.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to engage patients from diverse backgrounds.
• .Familiarity with state, federal, and payer requirements applicable to CHW services and referrals, or willingness to learn.
• Spanish or other language fluency strongly preferred
