Surgical Technologist / Sterile Processing Tech CST / ST

MLee Healthcare Staffing and Recruiting, Inc

Surgical Technologist / Sterile Processing Tech CST / ST

Join a Dynamic Surgical Team at the Forefront of Healthcare in Scenic Southern California

Imagine being part of a team where every detail matters and each procedure holds the promise of a new beginning. As a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) nestled in stunning San Diego, you will play a pivotal role in the operating room, contributing to a health care landscape that is as vibrant and innovative as the city itself.

This isn't just another role; it's an invitation to fulfill what you were meant to do. Whether you're an experienced surgical technologist or just taking the first steps in your career, your meticulous nature, foresight, and passion to impact outcomes will be met with appreciation every single day. And what better place to hone your skills than in San Diego, a city celebrated for its medical advancements and incredible coastal charm?

Your Daily Responsibilities Will Include:

  • Preparing and organizing surgical instruments and the operating room
  • Ensuring sterile environments and rigorous compliance with infection control protocols
  • Passing instruments and materials to surgeons and surgical assistants during procedures
  • Managing surgical equipment before, during, and after operations
  • Monitoring surgical supplies to maintain readiness for procedures
  • Collaborating closely with nursing staff, anesthesiologists, and surgical teams to ensure high-quality and continuous patient care
  • Keeping accurate logs and participation in surgical counts

Education Requirements:

  • Graduation from an accredited Surgical Technology program
  • High school diploma or an equivalent certificate is essential

Certifications Needed:

  • Valid CST (Certified Surgical Technologist) credential is required
  • BLS certification (or ability to get it within 90 days after hiring)

Key Skills and Attributes:

  • Thorough knowledge of surgical instruments and multi-specialty procedures
  • Outstanding communication skills and the ability to work harmoniously within a team, especially in high-pressure situations
  • Ability to think swiftly and respond effectively to the surgical team's needs
  • Strong organizational skills with an acute attention to detail and cleanliness
  • Expertise in maintaining aseptic technique and creating a sterile field

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Flexible scheduling options, including days, nights, and weekends
  • Opportunity to work with a premier surgical team across diverse and exciting cases
  • Continuous educational opportunities, further training, and clinical advancement programs
  • Access to the latest surgical technology and state-of-the-art equipment
  • Supportive leaders who value your experience and perspective
