Lead Nurse

Start the New Year Off Right – Join Our Team!

Northern Virginia Pediatric Associates has been providing the highest standards of care for children for over 47 years. Although our practice has grown over the years, our goal to provide the best medical care for children and to help them mature into healthy adults has remained the same. Our belief is that pediatrics involves caring for the whole child and includes support and guidance to our patient’s parents and family members. In addition to healthy bodies, stable emotions and the fulfillment of intellectual potential are our priorities.

We currently have an opening for a Head Nurse who shares these same values and goals.  In addition to a great work environment, we offer competitive pay and benefits to include an employer 401K contribution of 5%.
