Pediatrix is currently seeking a Newborn Hearing Screen Technician to join their team at Greenville Memorial Hospital. This role plays a vital part in the early identification of hearing loss in newborns, an important aspect of pediatric healthcare that facilitates timely intervention and improved developmental outcomes. The technician will perform hearing screens on newborns shortly after birth, working on-site at hospital locations. The position offers on-the-job training, including annual certification accredited by the American Academy of Audiology, ensuring the technician is skilled and knowledgeable in performing hearing screenings accurately and efficiently.

In this role, hearing screen technicians are responsible for preparing patients for screening, conducting the hearing tests, collecting and documenting all relevant data, and educating parents about the importance of hearing screening and early intervention. Technicians are expected to maintain patient confidentiality, follow hospital and company safety protocols including PPE and vaccination requirements, and ensure all testing results are properly uploaded and reported by the end of their shifts. The role requires excellent communication and interpersonal skills, sensitivity when interacting with families, and the ability to work independently as well as part of a team. Technicians must be physically capable of handling the demands of the job, including frequent standing, walking, lifting, pushing, and pulling. Flexibility to work weekends and national holidays is also required.

Pediatrix offers this position as an entry-level healthcare opportunity, ideal for candidates with a high school diploma or GED and current or obtainable CPR certification. While previous experience with newborns or in a medical setting is preferred, it is not required as comprehensive training is provided. The company’s commitment to employee development and wellness is reflected in their extensive benefits package, which includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, life and disability coverage, healthcare and dependent care flexible spending accounts, a 401k plan, and an employee stock purchase program.
