Position Overview

We are looking for a skilled medical assistant with a warm bedside manner to join our team. The ideal candidate is an expert at making blood draws quick, comfortable, and even pleasant — turning what many patients dread into a positive experience. Beyond venipuncture, this role supports day-to-day clinical operations, including rooming patients and taking vitals, as part of a close-knit care team.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform venipuncture, capillary draws, and blood collection with precision and patient comfort as top priorities
• Properly label, process, store, and prepare specimens for in-house testing or lab transport
• Handle blood, specimens, and other bodily fluids safely and professionally, following OSHA and infection-control standards
• Obtain and record accurate patient vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiration, height, weight, oxygen saturation)
• Room patients and assist with patient flow throughout the clinic day
• Maintain phlebotomy supplies, equipment, and draw station cleanliness
• Document collections and patient information accurately in the electronic health record
• Engage warmly with patients — especially anxious or needle-averse patients — to create a friendly, comfortable, and memorable clinic experience
• Support the clinical team with being able to answer phone calls, schedule patients for appointments, check patients out, etc.

Qualifications

Required:

• Current phlebotomy certification (CPT or equivalent from a recognized certifying body) or Medical Assistant certification 
• Demonstrated venipuncture proficiency across a range of patients, including difficult draws
• Comfortable handling blood, specimens, and other bodily fluids
• Ability to take and record patient vital signs accurately
• Strong interpersonal skills with a genuinely friendly, patient-first attitude
• Reliability and punctuality for a consistent full-time schedule

Preferred:

• Bilingual Spanish/English
• Experience in a primary care, family medicine, or outpatient clinic setting
• Familiarity with electronic health records (Tebra/Kareo experience a plus)
• BLS/CPR certification

Schedule

• Full time: 4-5 days per week 9am-5:30pm with Lunch break at 1:00pm for 30 minutes 
• Flexible PTO 
• We have 1 full time provider and 1 part time provider on site.
