Physician Assistant / Nurse Practitioner – Palliative Care Opportunities (New Jersey)

A growing, mission-driven palliative care organization is seeking Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners to join its expanding clinical teams across New Jersey. These roles focus on delivering compassionate, high-quality care to patients with serious illness while working within a strong interdisciplinary and supportive care model.

We are currently hiring for two distinct opportunities:

1) Inpatient Palliative Care – Jersey City, NJ

This hospital-based role is located at Jersey City Medical Center and focuses on inpatient palliative care consultations across the ED, ICU, and medical/surgical units.

This position requires prior palliative care experience and is ideal for clinicians who thrive in high-acuity hospital settings and complex decision-making environments. You will be supported by a strong clinical infrastructure, structured mentorship, and a collaborative interdisciplinary team.

Key focus areas include:

• Inpatient palliative care consultations across hospital units
• Goals-of-care discussions and advance care planning
• Complex symptom management in acute care settings
• Coordination with hospitalists, specialists, and care teams
• Integration into established hospital workflows and protocols

2) Outpatient / SNF & Community Palliative Care – Ocean County, NJ

This role covers skilled nursing facilities and community-based settings across Ocean County, New Jersey.

It offers a structured ramp into palliative care, making it well-suited for clinicians with strong experience in serious illness care from backgrounds such as oncology, geriatrics, hospital medicine, critical care, SNF/LTC, or family/internal medicine. Prior palliative care experience is helpful but not required.

Key focus areas include:

• Palliative care assessments and follow-up visits in SNFs and community settings
• Management of patients with advanced illness and complex chronic conditions
• Goals-of-care and advance care planning conversations
• Collaboration with SNF teams, community providers, and hospice agencies
• Care transitions from hospital to SNF, home, or hospice settings

• Annual performance bonus up to 12.5%
• Monday–Friday schedule with flexibility
• 28 PTO days in year one, increasing to 33 days at year two
• $0/month employee-only medical option
• Malpractice coverage and professional liability insurance
• License and DEA support and renewals
• CME allowance up to $1,000/year
• Tuition reimbursement up to $2,000

Ideal Candidate Profile

About the Work Environment

Both roles are built around a collaborative, team-based model of care with strong physician and APP support. The organization emphasizes structured workflows, clinical mentorship, and quality-driven palliative care practice—ensuring clinicians are supported rather than working in isolation.
