Across our health care network, you will find a dynamic range of meaningful careers, opportunities for growth, safe workplaces, and flexible schedules.

MultiCare utilizes EPIC for all electronic medical records. Department productivity standard is currently 69% for 8-hour day with expectation of 7-9 patients seen per day.

Per diem staff are also expected to work a minimum of 1 holiday per year and be able to complete mandatory education/training during non-shift hours, but on the clock. New Employee Orientation process is very rigorous for the first few weeks to a month (and would likely require some time off from an alternate position), and certain aspects are mandatory with regard to schedule. FTE: 0.4, Shift: Days, Schedule: Wednesday-Saturday, 7.5 hours per day; but flexibility is appreciated.
