TLC Healthforce•Aberdeen, WA

About The Position

Embark on a transformative journey as an OR Tech with our dynamic travel program. In this specialty-focused opportunity, you’ll integrate with high-performing surgical teams across the Pacific Northwest, ensuring every procedure begins with precision, sterile safety, and patient-centered care. Based in Aberdeen, Washington, you’ll support surgeons, nurses, and anesthesia teams in a variety of cases—from routine to complex—helping to uphold optimal infection control, instrument integrity, and timely patient turnover. Your technical proficiency, situational awareness, and collaborative spirit will influence patient outcomes and the overall efficiency of the OR. This assignment is designed to expand your clinical repertoire while broadening your professional network, empowering you to mentor peers and elevate standards within diverse facilities. It’s more than a job—it’s a platform to contribute meaningfully to lives in your care, while advancing your career in a field that rewards initiative, reliability, and a patient-first mindset. Location benefits flow from a Washington base that blends coastal charm with access to vibrant regional hubs. Aberdeen sits along a rugged coastline where maritime history meets modern healthcare excellence, offering a supportive community atmosphere that helps you settle in quickly between cases. The travel program also provides the opportunity to work at partner facilities across the United States, exposing you to a wide range of surgical teams, instrumentation, and case mix. This breadth accelerates your clinical confidence, enhances your adaptability, and broadens your professional visibility. You’ll experience the advantages of Washington’s collaborative healthcare culture—strong multidisciplinary teamwork, a commitment to patient safety, and a focus on continuous learning—while enjoying the diversity that comes with rotations across facilities and regions. Separately, you can experience the beauty of Washington state—from the evergreen forests of the Olympic Peninsula to the rugged coastlines of the Puget Sound, with glimpses of iconic peaks like Mount Rainier and the easy-going pace of coastal towns. The scenery isn’t just a backdrop; it can refresh you between shifts and inspire a balanced approach to demanding work. Role specifics and benefits: As the OR Tech, you will scrub, pass instruments, and assist the surgical team during a continuum of procedures—from orthopedic to general and specialty surgery. You’ll ensure the sterile field is preserved, perform instrument checks and counts, manage equipment readiness, and anticipate needs so surgeons can work without interruption. You’ll monitor patient safety, assist with positioning, draping, and specimen handling, and document intraoperative details per facility policies. You’ll collaborate with circulating nurses, anesthesia providers, and technologists to optimize room flow, turnover, and readiness for subsequent cases. This travel role emphasizes versatility: you’ll gain exposure to multiple OR suites, variations in instrumentation, and evolving best practices across sites, accelerating your professional growth. We offer competitive benefits designed to support you wherever your assignments take you: a signing/attendance bonus and performance-based incentives; comprehensive housing assistance or a housing stipend to ease relocation; full health/dental/vision coverage options; retirement plan options; and extension opportunities that allow you to continue your assignment beyond the initial term if clinical demand and performance align. You’ll have access to education stipends or in-house continuing education opportunities to stay ahead of the curve. A core pillar is our 24/7 support system. Traveling with the company means you’re never alone: a dedicated clinical liaison, travel concierge, and on-call support team are available around the clock to resolve scheduling, equipment issues, or clinical questions. Our travel program is designed to minimize downtime, maintain consistent pay, and ensure you feel supported whether you’re in a new city or returning to a familiar facility. You’ll be paired with mentors and peer networks who understand the rhythm of the OR and the logistics of mobility, helping you navigate credentialing, site onboarding, and practice adaptation smoothly. You’ll be rewarded for your commitment with predictable compensation: a weekly pay range of $1,885 to $1,996 for a guaranteed 40 hours per week, starting with a start date of February 4, 2026. The duration is defined by weeks, with the possibility of extension based on performance, case mix, and facility needs. This structure provides financial stability while affording the flexibility to pursue diverse experiences and build a robust travel résumé. You’ll also benefit from teamwork that respects your work-life balance, with scheduling and call expectations aligned with hospital needs where possible.
