Location: Kirkland, Washington
Schedule: Monday–Friday, approximately 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; no routine weekends
Compensation: $27–$31 per hour + $1,000 sign-on bonus

Opportunity Overview

A physician-led outpatient medical practice is seeking a full-time Certified Medical Assistant (MA-C) for its Kirkland-area clinic.

This opportunity is well suited for an MA who values predictable weekday hours, meaningful patient relationships, and the opportunity to work closely with physicians and a small clinical team.

The practice takes a highly personalized approach to patient care, with an emphasis on preventative health, long-term wellness, and continuity of care. Because patients return regularly, Medical Assistants have an opportunity to know the people they serve rather than simply moving patients through a high-volume clinical environment.

Experienced Medical Assistants and newly credentialed graduates are both encouraged to apply.
