Nurse Practitioner (NP) (Central East Region)

Virtual & Community-Based Clinical Oversight (Interim Primary Care)

Contract | On-Call | Virtual-First

One NP per service area

Overview

The Care Company is a home health care organization whose purpose is to create A Better Life for Those at Home . We support clients of all ages to live safely and well in their homes through compassionate, high-quality care.

We are currently seeking an experienced Nurse Practitioner (NP) to provide virtual clinical oversight and interim primary care support for a defined community care area. This role is designed to be consultative, virtual-first, and sustainable, offering meaningful clinical work without the pressures of a traditional clinic or permanent roster.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Virtual-first practice with minimal travel
• Defined service area designed to be manageable and sustainable
• High-impact clinical work without clinic churn or volume pressure
• Interim primary care role with clear, time-limited boundaries
• Competitive per-consult compensation plus mileage reimbursement
• Opportunity to work with a mission-driven organization that genuinely supports its clinicians

About the Role

This position supports a small number of medically complex clients receiving structured home-based services. Many encounters are handled virtually, with in-person visits required only when clinically necessary and pre-approved.

Each Nurse Practitioner is assigned one service area, with coverage structured to be focused, predictable, and collaborative.

Each Nurse Practitioner supports a small cluster of neighboring communities within Ontario Health at Home's Central East service area.

Examples include:

• Durham Region (Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa)
• Haliburton
• Peterborough
• Kawartha

The role is virtual-first, with in-person visits required only when clinically appropriate and within the assigned cluster.

This role is not clinic-based and not daily home visiting.

Requirements

Interim Primary Care Responsibility

Some clients supported through this role may be temporarily without a family physician.

In these situations, the Nurse Practitioner provides interim, time-limited primary care oversight, including assessment, medication management, and clinical decision-making, until long-term primary care attachment is secured.

This is not an open-ended or indefinite rostered role.

Care is delivered within a shared, interdisciplinary model and is tied to the duration of the home-care episode.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide virtual clinical consultations (video, phone, and chart review)
• Deliver interim primary care oversight for unattached clients when required
• Review changes in condition and recommend next steps
• Support care planning and escalation decisions
• Collaborate closely with nursing and therapy teams
• Conduct in-person visits only when clinically necessary and pre-approved

Work Structure

• On-call, consultative model
• Virtual-first delivery
• Assigned one defined service area
• Flexible scheduling by mutual agreement
• In-person visits are infrequent and purposeful

Benefits

Compensation & Mileage

We offer competitive, consult-based compensation that reflects senior clinical expertise:

• $110-$140 per virtual consult (30-45 minutes)
• $160-$200 per in-person visit, when required
• $75/hour for any other duties (admin, etc)
• Mileage reimbursed at competitive rate

Qualifications

• Registered Nurse Practitioner in good standing with the CNO
• Comfortable working at full NP scope
• Strong experience with complex or medically fragile clients
• Confident and thoughtful clinical decision-maker
• Comfortable delivering care virtually
• Values flexibility, autonomy, and collaborative practice

You'll be part of an organization that offers:

• Respect for professional judgment and autonomy
• Clear scope and expectations
