Job Description

SURGICAL RECOVERY COORDINATOR

Interested in a fast-paced, challenging, life-saving working environment that requires travel on private jets to hospitals throughout the western United States? Would you like to make a difference, knowing that you have coordinated sharing the gift of life through organ donation and transplantation? If so, come join our highly motivated surgical organ recovery team! Applicants with a strong operating room background, excellent communication skills, strong task organization abilities, and solid medical knowledge are encouraged to apply.

The Surgical Recovery Coordinator (SRC) primarily functions as our OR circulator. The SRC leads the surgical team, ensuring compliance with various policies and regulations, documenting and charting all organ recovery activities, and performing hands-on procedures as necessary. The SRC also participates in organ preservation and transportation activities and provides machine preservation of kidneys for transplant. You play a critical role in ensuring donated organs for transplant are handled and packaged correctly, with all required documentation to ensure they are available for the designated recipients.

Successful candidates should have solid experience in the OR and participate in the surgery. They should also have solid critical thinking skills, and the ability to work independently. This is a great career for someone who loves working in the OR and wants greater levels of responsibility without giving up the hands-on involvement of assisting in surgery.

We at DonorConnect expect our employees to embody our I CARE values of integrity, collaboration, accountability, respect, expertise, and commit to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

Hours may vary, and you will participate in a 24 / 7 on-call rotation. 24 / 7 call shifts will inevitably result in working some nights and / or weekends, and holidays. DonorConnect provides generous On-Call pay for these call shifts.
This is a full-time, expected 40 hours / week position. You will often encounter extended workdays associated with being on-call. Generous shift-differential applies outside of normal business hours.
DonorConnect provides a competitive benefits package of medical / dental insurance, vacation pay, sick leave, and a highly competitive 403b (401K for non-profits) plan for your retirement.
