Nurse Practitioner / Physician Assistant - Pain Management - Chandler, AZ - Part-Time Interim Coverage
Overview & Highlights:
Location: Chandler, AZ - on-site at a West Chandler clinic in the East Valley
Schedule: Three scheduled coverage days in December 2026 - Monday, December 7 and Tuesday, December 8 from 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM, and Thursday, December 17 from 11:00 AM to 6:30 PM
Compensation: $50 - $80 per hour, based on experience
Position Type: Part-time interim coverage, contractor engagement
Benefits: Reviewed during the interview process
Location & Logistics:
Work Environment: An established, independently owned pain and wellness clinic that brings chiropractic care, therapy services and provider-led care together under one roof
Coverage Model or Hours: Defined shifts on the three dates above - roughly 14 hours in total, with no ongoing commitment beyond them
Patient Population: Adults with acute and chronic pain, including personal injury patients
Travel: None - all coverage is at the single Chandler site
On-Call: None
Telehealth: The practice also sees personal injury patients by telehealth, and Fridays are reserved as telehealth-only days. None of the three December coverage dates falls on a Friday, so this coverage is expected to be on-site.
About the Opportunity / A Day in the Life:
This is short, clearly defined coverage work. The practice needs an Arizona-licensed Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to cover three specific days in December while its regular provider schedule is short-handed. You know the dates, the hours and the scope before you say yes, and there is no expectation of anything beyond them.
On a covered shift you will evaluate and treat adults presenting with acute and chronic pain, perform trigger point injections, and work alongside the chiropractic and therapy staff who are already treating many of the same patients. A good share of the patient mix comes from auto and work injury cases, so clear histories, focused exams and tidy documentation matter as much as the hands-on work.
One thing worth knowing up front: no prescriptions are written at this practice. There is no controlled-substance management, no refill queue and no pharmacologic treatment plan to build. The clinical work here is evaluation, conservative treatment and injection-based pain relief, coordinated with the rest of the care team.
Why This Role Stands Out:
A short, bounded commitment - three scheduled days, known hours, no on-call and no long-term obligation
Hands-on procedural work on every shift, with trigger point injections at the center of the visit
No prescribing of any kind, which takes controlled-substance management and refill requests off your plate entirely
A multidisciplinary setting where chiropractic, therapy and provider-led care sit side by side rather than in separate silos
An established patient base and an existing schedule - no panel to build and no practice to grow
A straightforward way to work with a clinic before either side commits to anything longer
What We're Looking For:
An Arizona-licensed NP or PA who can step into an established clinic and work independently from the first shift
Genuine, hands-on experience performing trigger point injections - this is not a role with ramp-up time
Comfort assessing and treating both acute and chronic pain presentations
Someone who picks up an unfamiliar workflow and charting system quickly
Reliability on committed dates, since this is coverage the practice is planning around
A steady, professional manner with personal injury patients, who often arrive anxious and in pain
Job Duties & Responsibilities:
Evaluate adults presenting with acute and chronic pain and determine an appropriate conservative treatment approach
Perform trigger point injections as clinically indicated
Take focused histories and perform physical examinations relevant to pain and injury presentations
Conduct telehealth visits for personal injury patients when they appear on the covered…
