Position Overview
We are currently hiring a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) to provide high-quality clinical care in skilled nursing and post-acute care facilities across Mesa, Gilbert, and Chandler, AZ on weekends only. This part-time, independent contractor opportunity is well-suited for providers who are looking for professional autonomy, schedule flexibility, and the chance to make a meaningful difference in long-term care.
This role plays a critical part in ensuring continuity of care, improving patient outcomes, and reducing unnecessary hospitalizations within the skilled nursing population.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct in-person weekend rounds at multiple SNF locations
- Perform comprehensive patient assessments and manage treatment plans
- Address acute changes in condition and chronic disease management
- Order, interpret, and follow up on labs, imaging, and diagnostics
- Modify medications and therapies as clinically indicated
- Collaborate with facility nurses, attending physicians, and interdisciplinary care teams
- Educate patients, families, and staff on diagnoses, care goals, and interventions
- Accurately document all encounters in the EMR in a timely manner
- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and SNF protocols
- Support care transitions and discharge planning as appropriate
Qualifications
- Active and unrestricted Arizona license as a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant
- Graduate of a U.S.-based accredited NP or PA program
(Note: Programs located in Puerto Rico are not eligible)
- At least 1–2 years of experience in a skilled nursing facility or post-acute care setting preferred
- Proficiency with EMR systems and post-acute documentation workflows
- Strong clinical decision-making and patient communication skills
- Comfortable practicing independently within established guidelines
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Weekend-only commitment—no weekday, evening, or on-call requirements
- Competitive hourly pay with predictable part-time hours
- Autonomy in your clinical practice within a supportive care environment
- Ideal for experienced providers seeking supplemental income or a flexible schedule
- Make a measurable impact in patient outcomes and care continuity in high-need settings
How to Apply
If you are a skilled and mission-driven NP or PA looking to play a vital role in the care of long-term and post-acute patients, we invite you to apply. Please submit your most recent resume or CV. While not required, a cover letter or references may be included to strengthen your application.
We look forward to connecting with professionals who are committed to improving patient care in the skilled nursing space.
