Job Description

The Hebrew Rehabilitation Center (HRC) is a renowned healthcare facility specializing in comprehensive rehabilitative services. With a strong commitment to quality care, the center caters to patients requiring short-term recuperative support following illness, injury, or surgery. It prides itself on blending compassionate care with advanced medical practices to ensure each patient achieves the highest possible level of independence and well-being. Situated in a dynamic and fast-paced healthcare environment, the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center maintains a culture rooted in professionalism, respect, and continual improvement to meet the healthcare needs of its community effectively.

The Recuperative Services Unit (RSU) at the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center operates as a critical component of this mission. Serving short-term patients with a focus on rapid and effective care coordination, the unit handles frequent admissions and discharges that demand flexibility and responsiveness from its staff. The environment requires employees to adapt swiftly to unpredictable workflows and prioritize tasks judiciously to meet immediate demands. Operating under the supervision of the Director of Nursing, the RSU relies heavily on its administrative team to perform diversified clerical and receptionist duties that uphold the unit's operational efficiency and patient care standards.

The available role within the RSU involves managing a variety of responsibilities that contribute to the seamless functioning of the unit. The incumbent will be expected to demonstrate exceptional organizational and multitasking skills, working under pressure without compromising professionalism or the quality of customer service provided to patients, families, and interdisciplinary team members. This position demands excellent communication skills, confidentiality, and sensitivity in dealing with all patients and stakeholders.

Responsibilities include greeting patients upon admission, ensuring the completeness of paperwork, and updating electronic medical records instead of handling physical documents exclusively. Additionally, this role oversees daily clerical functions such as scheduling medical appointments, preparing reports, managing unit supplies, and coordinating patient transport within the center. The individual will also assist in educational activities, staff orientation, and maintaining the accuracy and currency of unit records. The role emphasizes a proactive approach to problem-solving, especially concerning equipment management and assisting in the scheduling processes alongside nursing leadership.

This position is on-site and offers a competitive salary range from $20.38 to $28.53 per hour, reflecting the importance of the role in supporting patient care and unit operations. The candidate joining the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center will be part of an esteemed institution dedicated to rehabilitative excellence, contributing to meaningful patient outcomes and embodying the center's values of respect, caring, and professionalism. This job opportunity provides comprehensive growth prospects within a supportive healthcare setting committed to ongoing education and quality improvement initiatives.
