Medical Assistant - Flex Workforce

M Health Fairview has an immediate opening for a Medical Assistant in the Flex Workforce. Flex workforce employees regularly travel to multiple clinics to fill open shifts and “regular” travel is defined as the expectation to be available to travel 100% at any time to different locations based on the business needs. The length of the assignment at a location will vary based on need (i.e. 1 day for ill call or an extended period of time), which includes the expectation to travel to more than one clinic during the day at a moment’s notice. The nature of travel expectations (100%) and schedule expectations (unpredictable) provide a clear distinction between flex workforce employees and the expectations for travel (none or occasionally) and schedules (predictable) for other employees. 

This is a 0.8 FTE (64 hours per two week pay period), benefits-eligible opening. 

This position qualifies for a $4000 New Hire bonus and $1/Hour Flex Workforce Incentive Pay!

Clinic locations/coverage include the following, subject to change: Chisago Lakes, Wyoming, North Branch and Hugo.
