Job Description

Description:

Join Us in Transforming Healthcare Education.

At Joyce University, work is more than a job — it’s a shared commitment to excellence, growth, and purpose. Since 1979, we’ve been dedicated to one mission: empowering every student to succeed in healthcare. That same dedication extends to our people.

We’re proud to be recognized among Utah’s Best Companies to Work For, but what truly defines us is our culture — built on integrity, service, learning, and caring. We invest deeply in our team’s personal and professional growth, creating a workplace that celebrates success, values connection, and believes in the power of every individual.

From our self-directed time-off philosophy to our focus on well-being and total rewards, we’re intentional about helping our people thrive — inside and outside of work.

Here, your expertise shapes the future of healthcare. Your voice matters. Your growth is supported. Together, we’re building a university — and a future — where every student, and every team member, can, should, and will succeed.

Why Join Joyce:

•  Excellent Benefits 

Our full-time employees are offered a generous benefits package that includes 401k with employer matching contribution, medical, dental, and vision insurance with generous employer contributions, fully paid short term disability, long term disability and life insurance, and an array of other optional benefits and wellness offerings which includes opportunities for remote employees as well as on campus, including a fully integrated employee assistance program which includes mental health care. 

•  Amazing Professional Development

Learning is a core value at Joyce, so we are serious about the growth of our people. That’s why every employee partners with our Center for Teaching and Learning and People and Culture team to create a personal development plan and receive ongoing support to meet their goals. We also afford our people opportunities to participate in mentorship and executive development. From certification programs and lunch-n-learns, to book clubs and in-services, you’ll have endless opportunities to learn and grow.   

•  World-Class Education Assistance

We want to support your pursuit of learning outside of Joyce. That’s why we have a three-pronged education assistance suite that includes generous tuition reimbursement, student loan assistance for every qualified employee, and family member tuition reduction at Joyce University.  

•  Generous Time Off Philosophy 

Growth takes balance. That’s why from day one, you’ll enjoy a flexible, self-directed PTO philosophy that does not cap our time off. This empowers our people to take meaningful time away from work to pursue hobbies, projects and causes, be with family and friends, and recharge the body, mind and spirit.  In addition to our progressive PTO philosophy, we have eleven paid holidays where our campus is closed.  

•  Spend Your Time Making a Difference

Our greatest benefit is our mission. Our people choose education because they want to make a difference. It’s why we continue educating ourselves and our students because each graduate we inspire leaves Joyce ready to make the world better.
