We are seeking an experienced Pediatric Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join a growing, community-focused healthcare organization in Chandler, Arizona.

In this outpatient role, you will provide comprehensive pediatric care to infants, children, and adolescents. Your day will include well-child visits, preventive screenings, developmental assessments, acute illness evaluations, chronic condition management, and family education.

You will work alongside physicians, medical assistants, nurses, and care coordination teams in a collaborative environment that supports quality care and efficient patient flow. The ideal candidate is confident in pediatric clinical decision-making, comfortable managing a busy outpatient schedule, and passionate about building trusting relationships with patients and their families.

Bilingual English/Spanish providers are strongly encouraged to apply, as the practice serves a diverse patient population.
