Nurse Practitioner (Full Time)

Tembo Health is a digital health company on a mission to improve care for older adults. Our flagship services include dementia care management, including the CMS GUIDE program, and virtual urgent care. We're venture-backed with funding from AARP, Bloomberg Beta, B Capital, Emerson Collective and others, led by a team that has built and scaled category- defining companies in healthcare. We're going places quickly and we're looking for people who want to help build the engine, not just ride passenger.

We believe that dementia is too often diagnosed late– well after decline has begun– and families receive insufficient support navigating that process. That’s why we are building on the GUIDE model to diagnose dementia and facilitate care navigation earlier so that families can be better supported through a patient’s cognitive decline.

As our first full time nurse practitioner hire, you will take the lead to meet patients and families wherever they are in the dementia diagnosis journey, often initiating the first, second and third steps in the diagnostic evaluation. You will support the care navigation team in medical escalations that arise. You will work closely with Tembo’s Head of Medical to refine and develop workflows for streamlined diagnosis and support for patients with dementia, pioneering a new specialty care model focused on this population.
