Role and Responsibilities

An established, physician-owned private pediatric practice in Lafayette, Indiana is hiring a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join a growing team. You will provide full-scope pediatric primary care from newborn through age 22, seeing roughly 20 to 25 patients a day in a four-day work week with no call of any kind. If you want to practice good pediatric medicine and still have a life outside the clinic, that is the entire premise of this role.

Why you'll love this opportunity

The schedule is the headline. Four days a week, approximately 32 clinical hours, with a weekday off every single week. No after-hours call, no hospital call, and no newborn nursery responsibilities. There is one evening clinic per week until 7:00 PM and one Saturday morning clinic roughly once a month from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. That is the whole commitment. The compensation reflects full-time work for a four-day schedule. Base salary runs $120,000 to $130,000 depending on experience, with a sign-on bonus and relocation assistance available. Indiana license and DEA registration costs are reimbursed. Benefits are genuinely comprehensive.

• 15 paid vacation days, 8 paid holidays, and 5 paid CME days with a $2,000 annual CME allowance.
• Malpractice coverage is fully paid.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide comprehensive pediatric primary care from newborn through age 22.
• Perform well-child visits and same-day sick visits across a panel of roughly 20 to 25 patients per day.
• Diagnose and manage acute and chronic pediatric conditions.
• Educate patients and families on preventive care, growth and development, nutrition, and healthy lifestyle habits.
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation in the electronic medical record.
• Collaborate closely with the physician owner and fellow providers to deliver consistent, high-quality care.

Required Qualifications

• Eligible for Indiana APRN or PA licensure.

Preferred Qualifications

• Two or more years of pediatric clinical experience.
• The right new graduate will absolutely be considered.
• Family Nurse Practitioners with substantial pediatric experience are welcome to apply.
• Interest in building a long-term career rather than filling a next step.
• The practice is growing and wants someone to grow with it.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary of $120,000 to $130,000 depending on experience.
• Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance available.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with 4 percent employer match after one year.
