Optum Home & Community Care, part of the UnitedHealth Group family of businesses, is creating something new in health care. We are uniting industry-leading solutions to build an integrated care model that holistically addresses an individual's physical, mental and social needs - helping patients access and navigate care anytime and anywhere.

As a team member of our Senior Community Care (SCC) product, we work with a team to provide care to patients at home in a nursing home, assisted living for senior housing. This life-changing work adds a layer of support to improve access to care.

We're connecting care to create a seamless health journey for patients across care settings. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together.

Are you feeling burned out from the relentless pace of clinic-based, fee-for-service healthcare? Do you wish you had more time to truly address your patients' needs? If you're seeking a change, we have an exciting opportunity for you!

Position Highlights

In Optum's Senior Living Program, people are our priority - starting with our dedicated clinicians.

The Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants within Senior Living provide care to our highest-risk patients and are part of an interdisciplinary team.

We offer extensive training in our unique approach, and because we are not fee-for-service, our focus is on quality patient outcomes, not volume.
