The role

What this job actually is

Sellwood is the smallest of the four clinics and the one where everybody knows the regulars by name. You would work alongside two family physicians and a nurse, running the front half of every appointment: rooming, vitals, medication reconciliation and the reason the patient actually came.

Part time here means three days, not five days compressed. The clinic closes at six and the last appointment is at half past five, so the day ends when the rota says it does.

Day to day

What you would be doing

  • Room patients, take vitals and reconcile the medicines list before the clinician arrives
  • Draw bloods and run point-of-care tests, most of which report the same day
  • Give scheduled immunisations and keep the vaccine fridge log
  • Prepare and turn around treatment rooms between patients
  • Answer the clinic line when the front desk is with someone

What we need

What you would bring

  • Certification as a medical assistant (CMA, RMA or equivalent), or completion within six months
  • Current BLS
  • Phlebotomy experience — this role draws bloods every day it runs
  • The patience for a small clinic where the same fifty people come back

How hiring works

Four steps, about three weeks

  1. Apply

    One form and a CV. No cover letter — we would rather read your answer to the two questions on the form.

  2. A call, thirty minutes

    With the person you would report to. It is a conversation about the work, not a competency grid.

  3. A half-day in clinic

    Paid at your day rate. You see how we actually run, and the team you would join gets a say.

  4. Offer, with the band shown

    The number comes from the published band and where you sit in it. We tell you which point and why.
