Field Nurse Care Manager & Patient Advocate (RN)

Salary: USD 100,000–115,000

Workplace: hybrid

Department: NJ-1

Description

Why nurses take this role

This is care management, not bedside nursing. You will carry a small, intimate private-pay caseload — deliberately kept that way — so you actually know your clients: their history, their family dynamics, what a good day looks like for them. You will build your own schedule around your visits and exercise real clinical judgment without a charge nurse, a floor assignment, or a twelve-hour shift.

• $100,000–$115,000 base, plus a monthly performance bonus earned on billable hours and paid every month, never deferred to year-end. First-year total earnings run $106,000 to $130,000+.
• No hospital shift rotation. Weekdays, hybrid, with genuine flexibility in how you build your week
• Dedicated company phone number — clients reach you on a company line, not your personal number; laptop provided
• Mileage and tolls reimbursed
• Health, dental, and vision coverage sponsored by the company
• Safe harbor 401(k) — company contributions are fully vested from day one, with no waiting period to earn them
• 15+ PTO days plus paid holidays
• Voluntary life insurance and disability coverage

About the role

Unicity Care Management supports individuals and families through the healthcare decisions that matter most — a new diagnosis, a complicated hospital discharge, a chronic condition that has outgrown what one family can coordinate on its own. Our clients range widely in age and circumstance. What they share is a moment where the healthcare system has become more than they can navigate alone.

As a Nurse Care Manager and Patient Advocate, you are the person your clients and their families call first.

You will:

• Conduct comprehensive in-home assessments covering clinical, functional, cognitive, psychosocial, and environmental needs
• Develop and maintain individualized care plans, revising them as circumstances change
• Coordinate physicians, home care, specialists, and community resources into a single coherent plan
• Manage transitions of care between hospital, rehabilitation, and home, closing the gaps where clients are most often lost
• Advocate for clients and families at appointments, care conferences, and points of decision
• Serve as the primary point of contact for the clients on your caseload, including responding to urgent needs that arise outside standard business hours
• This is a field-based role requiring regular travel and is not an in-office position. Provides high-touch, concierge-level nursing support to clients, including accompanying clients to medical appointments and other care-related visits as needed.

Requirements

What we are looking for

• Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in New Jersey
• A genuine interest in working alongside families, not only patients
• Sound clinical judgment in community settings, where the resources of a hospital are not at hand
• Strong written and verbal communication; you will be the clearest voice in the room for families under stress
• Organizational discipline to manage an independent caseload and maintain accurate documentation
• A collaborative approach to working with physicians, providers, and community partners
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for field visits

Benefits

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
• Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
• Short Term & Long Term Disability
• Training & Development
• Wellness Resources

Our commitment

Unicity Care Management serves families at moments when the healthcare system is at its least navigable. We hold ourselves to disciplined operational standards so our care managers spend their time on clients rather than on administrative friction. If you have been considering a move out of bedside nursing but are unwilling to leave clinical practice behind, this role was built for you.
