Job description

Optum Home & Community Care

Build Meaningful Patient Relationships While Enjoying Exceptional Work-Life Balance

Are you looking for an opportunity where you can spend more time with patients, practice independently, and make a lasting impact in your community?

At Optum Home & Community Care , you'll provide comprehensive, in-home care to patients with complex health needs, helping them stay healthier, remain independent, and avoid unnecessary hospital visits. You'll be part of an interdisciplinary team dedicated to delivering high-quality, personalized care where it matters most, in the patient's home.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out?

Choose the incentive that works best for you:

Up to $40,000 Student Loan Repayment

Or a $30,000 Sign-On Bonus

Enjoy a schedule that supports your life outside of work:

No nights

No weekends

No holidays

Flexible, field-based role with autonomy and support

Practice at the top of your license:

Comprehensive patient assessments

Chronic disease management

Transitional and post-acute care

Advanced care planning

Collaborative, team-based care delivery

Make an Impact Every Day

As a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant, you'll care for patients in the comfort of their own homes, often becoming one of the most trusted members of their healthcare team. Your work will directly improve quality of life, reduce care gaps, and help patients navigate complex healthcare needs with confidence.

You'll have the opportunity to:

Deliver comprehensive in-home assessments and ongoing clinical care

Manage acute and chronic conditions for medically complex patients

Partner with physicians, nurses, care coordinators, and social workers

Educate patients and caregivers on treatment plans and disease management

Lead meaningful conversations around goals of care and advanced illness planning

Build long-term relationships with patients and families

What We're Looking For

Nurse Practitioners:

ANCC or AANP certification in Family, Adult, Geriatric, or Adult-Gerontology Primary Care

Physician Assistants:

NCCPA certification and active state licensure

Additional qualifications:

Active, unrestricted state license (or ability to obtain before start)

Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

Willingness to travel within the local service area

Passion for delivering patient-centered, relationship-based care

Why Providers Choose Optum

Providers join Optum because they want more than a traditional clinical role. They want meaningful patient interactions, professional autonomy, a collaborative care model, and the opportunity to truly influence patient outcomes.

If you're looking for a career that combines purpose, flexibility, and professional growth while transforming the future of healthcare in the home, we'd love to connect with you.
