Job Description
Nurse Practitioner (Neurology - Movement Disorder)
Overview & Highlights
Location: Ahwatukee, AZ
Schedule: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Compensation: $120,000 – $170,000 annually
Work Environment: Outpatient neurology clinic serving adult patients with movement disorders
Coverage Model or Hours: Structured clinic schedule with protected visit times
About the Opportunity / A Day in the Life
This is a focused outpatient neurology role centered on caring for patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, and related conditions. You’ll manage a consistent daily patient panel of approximately 12 patients, allowing for thoughtful, in-depth clinical care without the pressure of high-volume throughput.
Your day will include a mix of new patient evaluations and follow-up visits, with time built in to thoroughly assess symptoms, adjust treatment plans, and provide education to patients and families. You’ll work closely with a neurology team while maintaining a high level of autonomy in patient management.
This setting offers a steady, predictable workflow with a strong emphasis on continuity of care. You’ll have the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients while contributing to meaningful improvements in quality of life for a complex and often underserved patient population.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Structured patient volume with longer visit times—prioritizes quality over quantity
- Specialized focus in movement disorders with meaningful clinical impact
- Outpatient-only setting with a predictable weekday schedule
- Strong continuity of care and opportunity to build lasting patient relationships
- Collaborative neurology environment with provider autonomy
- No travel requirements and stable, on-site workflow
What We’re Looking For
- Board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) or Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP)
- Clinical confidence managing adult patients in an outpatient setting
- Interest or experience in neurology or movement disorders
- Strong communication skills and patient-centered approach
- Ability to work independently within a collaborative team

- Provide patient and caregiver education on disease progression and management
- Coordinate care with neurologists and interdisciplinary team members
- Document patient encounters accurately and efficiently
- Monitor patient outcomes and adjust care plans as needed
- Participate in clinic workflow optimization and care coordination
- Ensure adherence to clinical protocols and quality standards
Required Qualifications
- Licensed Nurse Practitioner (FNP or ACNP) in Arizona (or ability to obtain)
