Precision Meets Purpose — Embrace an Exciting Surgical Career in the Vibrant City of Cleveland

Stepping into the world of surgery, every moment is significant, every detail matters. As a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST), you have the unique opportunity to contribute to life-changing procedures at the heart of Cleveland's innovative healthcare landscape. Your role is pivotal during each operation, from meticulous preparation before the surgeon makes a single incision to assisting with a flawless closure. Yet, it's not just about surgical precision; it's also about being a vital part of a caring community, where collaboration and advancement flourish.

This role transcends a mere job title – it's a vocation. Whether you're a seasoned CST or at the beginning of your surgical journey, your keen eye for detail, your anticipation of needs, and your unwavering passion to impact lives positively will shine brightly. And what better backdrop for your career evolution than Cleveland — a city renowned for its healthcare innovation framed by a rich artistic culture?

Your Daily Responsibilities Will Include:

• Facilitating surgical procedures by ensuring the operating room is both organized and sterile
• Upholding strict infection control protocols and maintaining aseptic conditions
• Handing off instruments and surgical supplies seamlessly to surgeons and assistants
• Preparing for and managing surgical equipment throughout procedures
• Monitoring inventory levels to ensure readiness for each surgery
• Partnering with nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgical teams to provide the best care
• Keeping accurate surgical counts and proper documentation

Education Requirements:

• Completion of an accredited Surgical Technology program
• High school diploma or equivalent required

Certifications Needed:

• Current CST (Certified Surgical Technologist) certification is a must
• BLS certification (or the commitment to obtain within 90 days upon hiring)

Key Skills and Attributes:

• Comprehensive understanding of surgical instruments and procedures spanning various specialties
• Strong communication and teamwork capabilities, especially under pressure
• Immediate prioritization skills to meet the demands of the surgical environment
• Excellent organizational skills with a strong emphasis on detail and cleanliness
• Expertise in aseptic techniques to maintain sterile fields

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Flexible work shifts — options for days, nights, and weekends
• Collaborate with a skilled surgical team on a diverse range of procedures
• Continued growth with access to education, training, and career development opportunities
• Utilize advanced surgical tools and innovative technologies in your daily work
• Leadership that encourages your insights and values your proficiency
