About The Position

Care Access is working to make the future of health better for all. With hundreds of research locations, mobile clinics, and clinicians across the globe, we bring world-class research and health services directly to communities that often face barriers to care. We are dedicated to ensuring that every person has the opportunity to understand their health, access the care they need, and contribute to the medical breakthroughs of tomorrow. With programs like Future of Medicine, which makes advanced health screenings and research opportunities accessible to communities worldwide, and Difference Makers, which supports local leaders to expand their community health and wellbeing efforts, we put people at the heart of medical progress. Through partnerships, technology, and perseverance, we are reimagining how clinical research and health services reach the world. Together, we are building a future of health that is better and more accessible for all. This is an event-based role where you’ll support participant care and event operations, including phlebotomy, specimen handling, and documentation (paper or electronic). You will help set up and manage clinical research events to ensure they run smoothly, safely, and compliantly. This is not your traditional part-time job. It is flexible, purpose-driven work that fits your schedule. You’ll opt into local events through our scheduling system and log actual hours worked after each one. Whether you want to pick up one event a month or several a week, you’ll be helping make clinical research more accessible for everyone.
