The Mass General Brigham Medical Group is a system-led operating entity formed by Mass General Brigham to deliver high quality, low cost, innovative community-based ambulatory care. This work stems from Mass General Brigham’s unified system strategy to bring health care closer to patients while lowering total health care costs. The Medical Group provides a wide range of offerings, including primary care, specialty care, behavioral and mental health, and urgent care, both digitally as well as at physical locations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine.

We are seeking a Per Diem Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join our Urgent Care teams in South Weymouth and Pembroke! This NP or PA will support team coverage and pick up open shifts at these sites located at 541 Main Street in South Weymouth, MA and 15 Corporate Park Drive in Pembroke, MA.

Our Urgent Care Centers are designed to provide walk-in service for minor conditions such as allergies, respiratory infections, sore throats, sports injuries, minor cuts and bruises, and various illnesses requiring immediate non-emergency medical care in the South Shore region south of Boston. Our qualified, friendly health care providers treat adults and children (age 6 months and up). We know urgent medical situations often happen unexpectedly, so our clinics are open seven days a week, and most visits last less than an hour, so our patients can get back to what matters.

Our operating hours are weekdays from 8:00 am‑7:00 pm, Saturdays from 9:00 am‑3:30 pm, and Sundays 9:00 am‑1:00 pm.

Schedule Expectations:
Our per-diem APPs must complete a minimum of 3 shifts per month, with at least one of those shifts being on a weekend day (Saturday or Sunday). Additionally, we are open most major holidays, so we request coverage availability of one holiday per year. We are closed on Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, and New Years Day.
