Hybrid Nurse Practitioner - In-Home Wound Care & RN Clinical Supervision

What Makes This Role Unique

Few roles offer the chance to shape how an entire team delivers care. As a Nurse Practitioner with Esperta Health, you'll elevate the standard of care across a growing patient population by mentoring and supervising a dedicated team of field RNs all while doing the advanced wound care work you love, hands-on with patients. You'll work within a collaborative, physician-led model where your voice matters and your expertise makes a real difference, helping patients heal where they're most comfortable—their own homes. If you've been looking for a role where leadership, mentorship, and clinical excellence come together with purpose, this is it.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced, highly skilled Nurse Practitioner (NP) to join our in-home, physician-led wound care practice in a unique hybrid leadership and clinical role. This position combines remote clinical supervision of a team of Registered Nurses (50%) with in-field patient care (50%).

This is not a traditional NP role. This position is designed for a clinician who excels in advanced wound care, thrives in team leadership, and is passionate about elevating care delivery in the home setting through mentorship, oversight, and hands-on collaboration.

The NP will report directly to the State Medical Director and serve as the primary clinical resource, supervisor, and partner to the RN field team.

Conduct virtual case reviews and clinical consultations with RNs
Guide escalation of care, treatment modifications, and advanced wound interventions
Ensure adherence to clinical protocols, standards of care, and physician-directed treatment plans
Support quality assurance, compliance, and clinical best practices across the RN team
Participate in care coordination with physicians and interdisciplinary team members
Mentor, coach, and develop RN clinical competency in advanced wound care

Field-Based Patient Care (50%)

Conduct in-home patient visits individually or alongside RNs for complex or high-acuity wound cases
Perform advanced wound assessments, debridement (as appropriate), and treatment planning
Collaborate directly with RNs during visits to model best practices and elevate bedside skill
Initiate, modify, and oversee wound care plans in collaboration with supervising physicians
Identify opportunities for improved outcomes, healing timelines, and care efficiency
Support new RN onboarding and field training during joint visits

Ideal Candidate Profile

A wound care expert who other nurses naturally look to for guidance
A clinical leader who enjoys teaching and elevating team performance
Comfortable switching between tele-supervision and hands-on care seamlessly
Highly organized with strong clinical judgment
Passionate about improving outcomes in the home setting
Collaborative, communicative, and confident in working closely with physicians

Required Qualifications

Active, unrestricted Nurse Practitioner license in the state
Board certification as an NP
Minimum 3 years of full-time, hands-on wound care experience (required)
Experience performing advanced wound assessments and treatment planning
Strong understanding of chronic wounds, pressure injuries, diabetic ulcers, vascular wounds, and surgical wounds
Prior experience working in home health, mobile care, or community-based care preferred
Demonstrated experience mentoring, supervising, or leading RNs or clinical teams
Excellent documentation review and clinical audit skills
Comfortable using telehealth and remote communication tools
