Make a Lasting Impact in the Wilmington Community -- Join Our Innovative Care Team!

ChristianaCare is seeking an enthusiastic, compassionate, and adaptable Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join our growing Mobile Health Services and Medical Respite Program at the New Castle County Hope Center. If you're passionate about providing high-quality care to complex and underserved patient populations -- and you value innovation, autonomy, and community-focused medicine -- we'd love to meet you.

About the Role

In this unique and rewarding position, you will split your time between two vital programs serving the Wilmington community, with opportunities to practice women's health, pediatric care, and substance use disorder treatment in both settings.

Mobile Health Services

Our Mobile Health Services van brings comprehensive primary care -- and elements of street medicine -- directly to individuals and families throughout Wilmington. You'll deliver a broad range of services including:

• Wellness visits, sports physicals, and pediatric primary care
• Women's health services (including preventive and reproductive health care)
• Chronic disease management
• Wound care, vaccinations, and sick visits
• Support for patients navigating substance use disorders, including medication-assisted treatment pathways (ie buprenorphine, vivitriol), harm-reduction education, and continuity of care connections

You'll rotate through community center locations, providing both walk-in and scheduled visits -- offering autonomy in your clinical decision-making and the opportunity to build meaningful, long-term relationships across the community.

Medical Respite Program

Located at the New Castle County Hope Center, the Medical Respite Program provides a safe, supportive environment for individuals facing medical or behavioral health challenges, often compounded by social or housing instability. You'll work within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team to support patients with:

• Acute and chronic medical needs
• Behavioral health concerns
• Social and housing instability

This setting allows for a high degree of independent practice while still benefiting from close collaboration with an engaged, mission-driven care team.

Why Join ChristianaCare?

We're committed to supporting you -- personally and professionally. Enjoy:

• Generous Continuing Education Time & Allowance
• Robust PTO plus 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave
• Opportunities for career growth within a nationally recognized health system
• 403(b) and Defined Contribution Plan with employer match
• Annual Quality Incentive Bonus
• A mission-driven culture rooted in empathy, innovation, autonomy, and community partnership

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Nursing or Physician Assistant Studies
• Delaware license or license-eligible
• FNP certification required
• Minimum 1 year of provider experience preferred
• Prescriptive Authority, DEA registration, and BLS required
