Description
Inpatient Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant| Jersey City, New Jersey |Direct Hire
Provide high-touch palliative care for people facing serious illness — with structured mentorship, physician/APP backup, and a team that does not leave you to figure it out alone.
Setting · License: Inpatient – Jersey City Medical Center, Jersey City NJ · New Jersey NP or PA license required
About us & the role:
Mission to deliver palliative care without walls across New Jersey, partnering with leading health systems. We are hiring a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to provide hospital-based palliative care at Jersey City Medical Center for patients living with serious illness. Palliative care experience is required for this inpatient role.
Why you’ll want this role:
● A strong palliative program behind you: experienced specialists, 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 the hospital continuum – from high-acuity ED and ICU encounters to ongoing management on medical, surgical, and specialty units.
● 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 SNFs and/or hospices if and when appropriate.
● Partner with the interdisciplinary team and hospital teams, fully integrating into hospital workflows and shaping the palliative medicine practice.
● Complete timely documentation aligned with clinical, billing, and quality standards.
● Spend as much time on discharge planning as on intake, managing transitions from inpatient to the patient’s next setting, considering each patient’s longitudinal preference and best interests.
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 experience required.
● Palliative care certification (e.g., ACHPN / CHPN) preferred.
● Strong communication, clinical judgment, compassion, and comfort working on interdisciplinary teams.
