Job Description

Total Compensation: $125,000–$130,000


Looking for a rewarding pediatric role with an unbeatable schedule and true independence in your practice? A respected youth-serving health and wellness organization is seeking a Lead Nurse Practitioner to run the school-based health center at an Upper Manhattan elementary school.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced, confident provider who enjoys working independently, values work-life balance and wants to make a meaningful impact on children's health right where they learn and grow.


What You'll Enjoy:

  • A full-time, 12-month position with a consistent M-F schedule
  • Low daily patient volume
  • Outstanding time off: every school holiday and break, plus 2 weeks of summer vacation
  • A hybrid summer schedule (partial remote work) during the weeks school is out
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • A schedule that aligns beautifully with family life


What You'll Do:

  • Serve as the lead clinical provider and day-to-day site leader for the school health center
  • Deliver comprehensive primary, acute, and reproductive healthcare to elementary-aged students
  • Conduct physical exams, screenings, and developmental assessments
  • Administer routine immunizations and maintain program eligibility standards
  • Order and interpret diagnostics, coordinate referrals, and manage follow-up care
  • Supervise on-site clerical staff and support smooth day-to-day clinical operations
  • Ensure compliance with state and city health regulations and organizational policies
  • Participate in occasional after-hours on-call rotation


What We're Looking For:

  • Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from an accredited program
  • Board certification as a Nurse Practitioner or Pediatric Nurse Practitioner
  • Comfort working independently, without on-site physician support (physician collaboration is off-site)
  • A warm, culturally responsive approach to working with children, families, and school staff

If you're an experienced pediatric provider who wants meaningful work, real independence, and a schedule built around school calendars, we'd love to hear from you!
