Nurse Practitioner - OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SERVICES

University of California - San Francisco

Apr 07, 2026
Come join our dynamic, highly skilled Occupational Health Services team!

At UCSF, our employees, providers, faculty, and volunteers are the heart of everything we do. The Occupational Health Nurse Practitioner plays a key role in caring for this community in an outpatient setting - creating a safe environment for adult patients, helping people recover from workplace injuries, guiding them safely back to work, and supporting long-term health across the university.

While every day is different, you can expect to see a wide variety of work-related injuries including sprains/strains, RSIs, burns, infectious disease exposures, and others. You'll assess and treat these injuries, refer out for diagnostics, write appropriate work restrictions and create a care plan that allows the employee to stay active and ideally return to their prior level of function.
Other clinical work includes evaluating blood-borne pathogen exposures, completing pre-placement health assessments and return-to-work evaluations to help keep the workforce healthy and safe.
The work is steady, varied, and team-based. You'll collaborate closely with occupational health leaders, fellow NPs, RNs, LVNs, MAs, and administrative staff, while still having room for independent clinical judgment. UCSF's PRIDE values - Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, and Excellence - shape how we work together and how we care for our community. It's a good fit for someone who enjoys direct patient care, values a predictable weekday schedule, and finds meaning in supporting your colleagues behind the scenes.

In this role, you will also have opportunities for professional growth and connection. This includes regular case review and huddles with other occupational health providers and clinical team members. In addition to UCSF-sponsored continuing education and occupational health-focused learning opportunities, nurses in this role receive protected paid time each year for professional development and CE activities consistent with the CNA contract.
