Surgical Technologist / Clinical Assistant

Professional Staffing Services Group • Tampa, FL

18h • $25 - $28

About The Position

Our client is seeking a skilled Surgical Technologist to join our high-volume, outpatient cosmetic surgery team. This is a hybrid clinical role designed for a professional who enjoys the precision of the operating room but also values direct patient interaction. Unlike a traditional hospital OR, our procedures (specializing in facelifts and facial plastics) are performed on awake patients under local anesthesia. You will balance "scrubbing in" with medical assistant responsibilities, ensuring a seamless flow from patient intake to post-operative discharge.

Requirements

• Surgical Experience: Proven experience assisting in surgical procedures (Passing instruments, identifying scalpels/sutures, and maintaining a sterile field).
• The "Hybrid" Mindset: You must be willing to perform both surgical scrubbing and clinical tasks (rooming patients, charting, and cleaning). This is a doctor's office environment, not a trauma center.
• Availability: Must be able to work shifts between 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM (typically 10 AM – 7 PM) and participate in a rotating Saturday schedule (occasional Sundays may be required).
• Clinical Proficiency: Ability to document accurately in an EMR (Nextech experience is a major plus).

Nice To Haves

• We are looking for candidates from Outpatient Cosmetic, Dermatology, ENT, or Plastic Surgery backgrounds.
• This role is perfect for a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) or a highly experienced Medical Assistant (CMA) who has extensive "hands-on" experience in a procedural or surgical setting.

Responsibilities

• Assist surgeons during local anesthesia facelifts, injectables, and facial plastic surgeries.
• Prepare sterile fields, organize surgical instruments, and anticipate provider needs.
• Manage Autoclave processes and maintain strict sterilization and infection control standards.
• Support rapid room turnover in a high-efficiency environment.
• Obtain patient histories, assist with positioning, and perform skin prep.
• Provide clear pre- and post-operative instructions to patients.
• Maintain real-time, accurate charting within the EMR.
• Assist with medication orders, prescriptions, and clinical follow-up calls.

Benefits

• Health Insurance: 100% Employer-paid premium for the employee.
• Paid Time Off: 2 weeks PTO in the first year.
• Holidays: 11 Paid Holidays (including your birthday!).
