Why Join Just 4 Kids Urgent Care?
At Just 4 Kids, we aren’t a massive, rigid corporate machine. We are an agile, dedicated pediatric urgent care team focused on delivering high-quality, compassionate healthcare to a diverse community. We know how demanding healthcare can be right now, which is why we emphasize strong administrative support, streamlined EMR workflows, and a collaborative team culture.
Whether you are looking for a permanent full-time position, a flexible part-time schedule, or a stable locum-to-perm arrangement to ensure a great mutual fit, we provide an environment where you can truly focus on patient care.
Key Responsibilities:
As an advanced practice provider, you will deliver exceptional urgent and non-urgent medical care in accordance with our clinical standards. Your day-to-day will include:
Clinical Care: Obtain accurate HPIs, perform physical exams, and diagnose/manage acute illnesses and minor injuries.
Procedures: Perform essential urgent care procedures, including wound repairs (suturing/dermabond), abscess drainage, basic splinting, and interpreting diagnostic/lab tests.
Continuum of Care: Provide health education, prescribe appropriate pharmacological therapies, coordinate referrals to specialists, and arrange hospital transfers when acute stabilization is required.
Documentation & Operations: Maintain precise, timely charting within our electronic medical records system and assist with light administrative clinical duties.
Requirements
What We Are Looking For:
Education & Licensure: Master’s degree from an accredited university. Must hold an active, unencumbered license as a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant with the State of Texas (Texas Medical Board).
Certifications: Current BLS and PALS certifications are required.
Experience: Previous dedicated clinical experience in pediatrics is required. Extensive knowledge of acute pediatric conditions and treatments is essential.
Communication: Strong interpersonal and verbal communication skills. Bilingual (Spanish/English) is preferred but NOT required—we welcome all qualified applicants who love working with children and families.
Adaptability: Excellent time management and the ability to prioritize in a fast-paced urgent care environment.
