Job Summary:
We are seeking a dedicated healthcare professional with experience in patient-facing roles to join our team as a TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) Technician on a per diem basis.

TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment used to help patients with depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. If you have experience in administering medical procedures, monitoring patients, and using medical equipment, this could be a great opportunity to expand your skills.

- Adhere to all safety protocols, HIPAA regulations, and confidentiality standards.

- TMS, EEG, EKG, neurofeedback, or phlebotomy

- Experience administering TMS treatments is preferred.
- High school diploma or equivalent required; an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in a healthcare-related field is preferred.

- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with a patient-focused approach.
