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.
