Field Nurse Care Manager & Patient Advocate (RN)

Unicity Care Management • Morristown, NJ

4d • Hybrid

About The Position

Unicity Care Management supports individuals and families as they navigate significant healthcare decisions, such as a new diagnosis, a complicated hospital discharge, or a chronic condition that a family can no longer coordinate alone. The Nurse Care Manager and Patient Advocate serves as the primary contact for clients and their families, providing high-touch, concierge-level nursing support to a deliberately small private-pay caseload. Clients vary in age and circumstance.

This is care management rather than bedside nursing. The role is field-based, requires regular travel, and is not an in-office position. The nurse builds a schedule around client visits, exercises clinical judgment in community settings, and may accompany clients to medical appointments and other care-related visits. The role is weekday and hybrid, with flexibility in how the workweek is organized. It includes responding to urgent client needs that arise outside standard business hours.

Compensation is a base salary of $100,000–$115,000, plus a monthly performance bonus based on billable hours. The posting states first-year total earnings of $106,000–$130,000+. The company provides a dedicated company phone number and laptop, and reimburses mileage and tolls.

Requirements

• Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in New Jersey.
• Genuine interest in working alongside families, not only patients.
• Sound clinical judgment in community settings without the resources of a hospital readily available.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Organizational discipline to manage an independent caseload and maintain accurate documentation.
• Collaborative approach to working with physicians, providers, and community partners.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for field visits.

Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive in-home assessments of clients’ 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 coherent plan.
• Manage transitions of care between hospital, rehabilitation, and home, closing gaps in support.
• Advocate for clients and families at appointments, care conferences, and points of decision.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients on the caseload, including responding to urgent needs outside standard business hours.
• Provide high-touch nursing support, including accompanying clients to medical appointments and other care-related visits as needed.
• Manage an independent caseload and maintain accurate documentation.
• Collaborate with physicians, providers, and community partners.

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision coverage sponsored by the company.
• Safe harbor 401(k), with company contributions fully vested from day one and no waiting period to earn them.
• More than 15 days of paid time off, plus paid holidays.
