Nurse Practitioner, Oncology Navigation

Imagine building a better healthcare journey for patients with cancer, where individuals and their loved ones feel seen, supported, and heard by their care team – both in and out of the clinic. Where fast access to high-quality care is the norm, not the exception. Where patients have access to a care navigator to guide them through their diagnosis and trusted support all along the way. At Thyme Care, we share a passion for transforming the cancer care experience – not just for patients but also for their caregivers and loved ones, as well as those delivering and paying for their care. Today, Thyme Care is known predominantly as a cancer care navigation company enabling value-based cancer care; in the next few years, we will become a nationally recognized technology-driven and provider-centric care delivery model, reshaping the landscape of cancer care access, delivery, and experience. Our commitment runs deep—we're not satisfied with the status quo but determined to redefine it. To make this happen, we’re building a diverse team of problem solvers and critical thinkers to drive innovation and shape the future of healthcare. If you share our vision and want to be part of something truly meaningful, we want to hear from you. Together, we can revolutionize cancer care and make a difference that lasts a lifetime.

As an Oncology Navigation Nurse Practitioner, you will be a critical clinical team member caring for our members. You will have three primary responsibilities: First, using a telemedicine platform, you will evaluate and manage members identified by our nursing and provider team who have urgent symptoms, complications related to their treatment, or exacerbations of their medical conditions. You will assess presenting symptoms, develop comprehensive care plans, triage to the appropriate level of care, educate patients, and ensure follow-up with relevant primary treating clinicians, including oncology and primary care. You will also complete annual clinical intake visits for select members. Second, you will develop care plans for our members, in collaboration with our onboarding RNs, to address clinical and non-clinical needs and barriers. You will prioritize members’ goals and develop concrete plans for our Oncology Nurse Navigators and Community Health Workers to reach these goals. To do this, you will review available medical records, work with external providers, give clinical insights to our care team, and adhere to best documentation practices to drive high-quality care for our members. Third, you will be responsible for the oversight and direction of interdisciplinary case conferences for our members, in which individualized care plans are created and monitored by our team of Community Health Workers and Oncology Nurse Navigators. You will provide clinical oversight to the case management team and direct clinical care, as needed. In addition to these primary responsibilities, you may be asked to participate in some holiday, night and weekend emergency coverage as needed. This role reports to our Nurse Practitioner Team Lead and can be remote or hybrid based in our Nashville or New York City offices. All patient interactions will be virtual via telephone, video, text, or our proprietary virtual care platform.
