Description
NOTICE: Effective Spring 2025, in lieu of participating in Social Security, SWDH employees will benefit from a mandatory 401(a) retirement plan.
Are you looking for an opportunity to serve the communities of Adams, Washington, Payette, Gem, Canyon, and Owyhee counties? Do you crave a job where you can make a difference and serve the public? Southwest District Health (SWDH) is recruiting a Registered Medical Assistant to join the dedicated group of public health professionals in the Clinic within the Family and Clinic Services Division.
As a Registered Medical Assistant and public health employee, you will serve an active role in improving the health of your community. As part of a small, but mighty team, you will play a crucial role in supporting nurses, nurse practitioners (NP), and physicians in preparing clients for a range of medical services. This includes guiding patients to examination rooms, collecting preliminary health information, and assisting with various clinical tasks. Additionally, you will be responsible for managing clinic inventory, ensuring that all necessary medical supplies are in stock and readily available. Under the direction of a nurse, NP, or physician, you may administer medications as prescribed and perform phlebotomy tasks such as drawing blood samples. The role requires a thorough understanding of medical protocols, strong attention to detail, and a commitment to patient safety and care.
If you crave team-oriented work, purpose, and work/life balance, perhaps it's time you considered a career with SWDH. We're all about shaking up the stereotype that working in government is dull. We're disruptors and innovators, all passionately sharing the same vision of making Southwest Idaho the best place to live, work, and play. We believe in fostering a positive and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.
This position may include a teleworking option from within Idaho.
