Job Description

We are seeking a Nurse Practitioner to join our mission-driven team. In this role, you will provide focused care in skilled nursing facilities, helping to reduce readmissions and improve recovery for patients during their most vulnerable moments — right after a hospital stay. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy a flexible schedule, strong team support, and the autonomy to manage your day without micromanagement. You will be the on-site clinical expert, making a tangible difference in the Illinois Valley region of LaSalle County.

Our company is a national post-acute care organization that champions value-based medicine across the healthcare continuum. We deliver physical medicine and rehab-led clinical services within skilled nursing facilities, partnering closely with therapy teams, primary care physicians, and facility staff.

This position involves a consistent but flexible weekday daytime schedule, typically Monday through Thursday, with the flexibility to manage your own hours as long as patient needs are met. You will enjoy exceptional job satisfaction stemming from a supportive, family-like culture that values your expertise, offers a true work-life balance with no nights, weekends, or call requirements, and provides the modern tools needed to complete documentation efficiently — often from the comfort of your home.

Qualifications

- Master's degree in Nursing and current certification as a Nurse Practitioner (NP) from an accredited program (PA-C candidates with strong post-acute experience also considered)

- Active, unrestricted NP license in the state of Illinois, with prescriptive authority

- Minimum of 2-3 years of experience in geriatrics, post-acute care, or a related field; experience in nursing facilities is strongly preferred

- Strong clinical skills in assessing and managing barriers to recovery, including rehabilitation, pain, and chronic conditions

- Excellent communication and time-management abilities to handle brief, efficient patient encounters

- Proficiency with EHR systems (PointClickCare experience a plus) and remote documentation

- Ability to work independently with a high level of autonomy and consistency
