Endoscopy Technician Apprentice

Job Description Join CentraCare St Cloud's Endoscopy team as a Endoscopy Technician Apprentice! As an apprentice you will spend the next 12 months learning the detailed procedures of an Endoscopy Technician at both the St Cloud Hospital and CentraCare Plaza. Once the apprenticeship is complete, you'll move into the next level for the position. You'll work side-by-side with doctors and nurses and actively participate in endoscopies, colonoscopies, bronchoscopies and other procedures. Patients will need you to be their coach while they undergo some procedures. An Endoscopy Technician is a wonderful first step toward a career in health care. Doctors and nurses often begin as Endo Techs. You'll also keep patients safe and mitigate infection by performing high-level disinfecting and maintenance on a variety of scopes. You'll succeed faster in this role if you have previous healthcare experience and know anatomy and medical terminology (especially related to gastroenterology). Still, we can train you if you don't already have this knowledge.SchedulePart-time | 32-48 hours every two weeks | OnsiteMonday-Friday varying 9-hour daytime shiftsEvery 4th weekend, 2-3 holidays per yearOff-premises on-call 3-5 times per month with a 45-minute response timeShifts will be scheduled at both St Cloud Hospital & CentraCare PlazaPay and BenefitsThe pay for the apprenticeship is: $21.00 per hourBenefits: Medical, dental, PTO, retirement, employee discounts and moreQualificationsHigh School Diploma or equivalent requiredCurrent American Heart Association (AHA) BLS Healthcare Provider card required; can be obtained internally upon hireCertified Flexible Endoscope Reprocessor (CFER) certification within three years of hire (you will be assisted in obtaining this certification) "I love working in Endoscopy because of the diversity that the job holds. Having the flexibility to switch up what I'm doing from a day-to-day basis plays a big role in breaking up the stereotypical 9-5 job. One day I might be in the back room helping to reprocess scopes, the next day I can be side by side with the doctors and nurses assisting with direct patient care. I always knew that I wanted to be in a healthcare setting, but I struggled with what it was that I was seeking. With being an Endoscopy Technician, and not needing any previous experience, it was a great way to open the door to endless options in the healthcare field. I can finally say that I truly love my job!" Endoscopy Technician CentraCare has made a commitment to diversity in its workforce. All individuals including, but not limited to, individuals with disabilities, are encouraged to apply. CentraCare is an EEO/AA employer.
