Job description
Coverage area: Middlesex County - Old Bridge (08857) and East Brunswick; Monmouth County - Holmdel, Shrewsbury, Long Branch, Neptune and Wall.
Provide high-touch palliative care for people facing serious illness across SNF, 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, Middlesex & Monmouth 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 an experienced Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to provide outpatient and SNF-based palliative care across Middlesex & Monmouth for patients living with serious illness. This is our experienced-provider track: 2+ years of palliative, hospice, or other serious-illness care is required.
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 Middlesex & Monmouth, 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 palliative care or closely related serious-illness experience required (hospice, palliative, SNF/LTC, oncology, geriatrics).
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 your 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.
This position is full-time, and full-time is our strong preference. That said, we know exceptional clinicians sometimes need a different arrangement — for the right candidate, we're open to discussing part-time or per-diem schedules.
