Quick Overview
Job Description
Nurse Practitioner – Telehealth / Home Health
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Schedule: Full-Time | On-Site
Setting: Home Health Agency / Telehealth
Position Type: Growth Opportunity – Newly Created Role
Position Overview
We are seeking a motivated, energetic Nurse Practitioner (NP) to join a growing Home Health Agency and help build a new telehealth program from the ground up.
This is not a traditional NP position. We are looking for someone who is a go-getter, takes initiative, enjoys building programs, and wants the opportunity to grow into a leadership role as the program expands.
You will be the first Nurse Practitioner dedicated to this initiative, giving you the opportunity to help develop workflows, improve processes, establish best practices, and play an integral role in shaping the future of the program.
The ideal candidate has experience in home health/home-based care and telehealth, understands the needs of medically complex and homebound patients, and is comfortable working independently while collaborating with physicians, nurses, care managers, and agency leadership.
Qualifications
- Current and unrestricted New York State Nurse Practitioner license.
- Must be enrolled in PECOS.
- Previous Home Health Agency (HHA), home care, home-based care, or similar experience strongly preferred.
- Prior telehealth/telemedicine experience strongly preferred.
- Medicare/Medicaid experience preferred.
- Strong clinical assessment and decision-making skills.
- Comfortable utilizing EMR and telehealth technology.
- Excellent communication and documentation skills.
Who We're Looking For
We are especially interested in someone who is passionate, ambitious, proactive, and excited by growth. You should be comfortable entering a newly created position where everything isn't already built for you.
This is an excellent opportunity for an NP who wants to say, “I helped build this program,” rather than simply stepping into an established role.
The right person will be a self-starter who sees what needs to be done and takes initiative, enjoys solving problems, communicates confidently with both clinical teams and leadership, and wants increasing responsibility as the program grows.
Why Join Us?
This is the first NP position on this team, offering significant opportunity to make the role your own. As the telehealth program grows, there is substantial potential for expanded responsibility, leadership, program development, and career advancement.
If you're an experienced Nurse Practitioner who understands home health and telehealth and you're looking for an opportunity where your initiative, personality, and ideas will have a direct impact, we'd love to hear from you.
