Additionally, we perform pediatric surgery on patients ranging in age from 6 months to 17 years of age.

The leadership of HOSC believes in advancing a “Just Culture” environment at HOSC where every staff member has a voice, and is always treated with dignity and respect. A major benefit of working for us is a Monday through Friday work week without call, weekends or holidays. The primary hours of operation are 7AM to 5 PM. All candidates will participate in a shadowing experience as part of the interview process, where you will get to meet our team and observe our processes. We want to make sure that the perspective candidate for this opportunity is the right fit for us, and we for them.

If you are a recent graduate from an accredited Surgical Technologist program or, getting ready to graduate, we encourage you to apply. You will be required to complete and pass a certification examination within one year of your date of hire.
