Scrub Technician I, Outpatient Pavilion

Job Description

Job Description

Overview

Join us at VHC Health’s brand-new Outpatient Pavilion (TOP) as a Surgical Technologist (also known as a Scrub Tech)!

Your day starts with a quick 7:00 AM safety huddle, and then it’s go time prepping your OR for a 7:30 AM start with help from a team that’s laser-focused on being ready and on time. We typically run 4–6 rooms each day, and our team-driven culture means everyone pitches in for room turnover, equipment setup, and restocking because we know the best outcomes come from working as one.

TOP is designed with you in mind: six spacious ORs filled with cutting-edge tech, boom-mounted equipment, and natural light just steps away. Supplies are always within reach thanks to a central sterile core and support from OR assistants and an endo tech who help keep things running smoothly. Our cases are diverse, GYN, Urology, Ortho, Plastics, Pain, Colo-rectal, and more, so you'll constantly grow your skills.

We’re a tight-knit, efficient team that truly cares for our patients, our surgeons, and each other. Everyone is encouraged to speak up, offer ideas, and lend a hand. New to a specialty? No problem - your teammates will step up to guide and support you. That’s just how we work. This is a full-time, Monday–Friday, 8-hour shift role with optional “stay late” sign-ups (usually 6 shifts in 6 weeks) to cover any late-running cases. With a strong focus on safety, collaboration, and doing what’s best for the patient, this is more than just a job, it’s a place where you’ll belong and thrive.
