Overview

Provide high‑touch palliative care for people facing serious illness across skilled nursing facilities, home, and community settings — with a structured ramp into palliative care, physician/APP backup, and a team that does not leave you to figure it out alone.

Base salary $130,000–$160,000/year plus annual performance bonus up to 12.5%. Primarily a Monday–Friday schedule, 28 paid time off days in year one, a $0/month employee‑only medical option, malpractice coverage, license/DEA support, CME, and tuition support.

Setting

• License: Outpatient – SNF & community, Ocean County NJ
• New Jersey NP or PA license required

About us & the role

NJ Palliative Care Solutions 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. We are hiring a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to provide outpatient and SNF‑based palliative care across Ocean County for patients living with serious illness. Palliative care experience is helpful but not required — clinicians with strong communication and serious‑illness judgment from oncology, critical care, hospital medicine, geriatrics, SNF/LTC, primary care, or home‑based care should consider this role.

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, performing 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 Ocean 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 clinical experience preferred; palliative care experience helpful, and high‑potential APPs from relevant serious‑illness settings considered.
• 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 in the 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.
