Imagine contributing to life‑changing surgeries while you experience the sunlit deserts, vibrant saguaro-studded landscapes, and historic neighborhoods that define the Old Pueblo.

Your role is essential in infection prevention, safety compliance, and teamwork that keeps the OR flowing smoothly. This position provides a structured path for professional growth: you’ll gain exposure to a broad spectrum of procedures, expand your familiarity with specialty instruments, and sharpen your procedural knowledge in a collaborative environment. We emphasize continuous learning, mentorship, and opportunities to advance into higher‑level roles within the surgical services team. Compensation reflects industry standards and the value you bring: competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,300 to $2,468, with the security of diverse onboarding enhancements that recognize expertise and reliability. Crucially, you’ll have access to housing assistance and comprehensive relocation support, easing transition logistics and enabling you to focus on clinical excellence from day one. We also offer extension opportunities and the potential for contract continuity based on performance and service needs, allowing you to deepen your experience in a sustained, trusted partnership with us.
