Join the Cleveland Clinic team, where you will work alongside passionate caregivers and provide patient-first healthcare. Our Weston Hospital continues to expand, which allows us to treat complex cases at a higher volume. And our new 30-bed Intensive/Intermediate Care Unit expansion will provide additional care for our patients at Cleveland Clinic Florida, the No. 1 hospital in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area.

As a Sterile Processing Technician, you will be the key part of how our operating rooms care for our patients. Surgery would not be possible if it were not for Sterile Processing Technicians. A whole team relies on you to successfully set up the operating room. You will be working frontline to ensure the safety of patients. Your primary duties include:

• Assembling, sterilizing, organizing, packing, and wrapping all surgical instruments.
• Standing and lifting for extended periods of time.
• Understanding the importance of the decontamination process.
• Monitoring and controlling the surgical instrument inventory.

The ideal future caregiver is someone who:

• Is always energetic.
• Continuously stays motivated.
• Can work independently.
• Has sharp focus skills.

This is an excellent opportunity to discover Cleveland Clinic’s Weston Hospital and gain hands-on experience at a top hospital in Southern Florida. This role can lead to career growth opportunities. In addition, Cleveland Clinic will assist you by paying for the exam for non-certified Sterile Processing Technicians to become certified.

At Cleveland Clinic, we know what matters most. That's why we treat our caregivers as if they are our own family, and we are always creating ways to be there for you. Here, you'll find that we offer: resources to learn and grow, a fulfilling career for everyone, and comprehensive benefits that invest in your health, your physical and mental well-being and your future. When you join Cleveland Clinic, you'll be part of a supportive caregiver family that will be united in shared values and purpose to fulfill our promise of being the best place to receive care and the best place to work in healthcare.
