Job Description

This role is responsible for assisting in the delivery of patient care in the operating room. The successful candidate will perform procedures under the direction of the Charge Nurse or RN, provide equipment resources to cases, and assist with environmental services.

The Surgical Support Associate will anticipate equipment needs based on scheduled cases and transport equipment to and from the OR as needed. They will also order and stock department cleaning supplies and equipment, maintain an adequate supply of blankets in the blanket warmer, and stock center core scrub areas with scrub brushes, scrub solutions, nail cleaners, and paper towels.

Responsibilities include responding to patient emergencies and assisting nursing and physician staff as directed. Daily cleaning of OR rooms between patients is essential to ensure a clean environment for all surgical patients. Inspecting ORs after cleaning for any remaining body fluid or debris, and cleaning debris from OR floors and hallways are also critical tasks.

The Surgical Support Associate will set up each OR after terminal cleaning in preparation to receive the next patient. This involves inspecting each OR to ensure appropriate furniture and equipment are available in the room, returning OR furniture to its proper location within the room, ensuring suction canisters are available for use, and providing adequate stock of cleaning supplies and trash and linen bags for the next day.

Daily cleaning of OR support areas such as anesthesia offices, locker rooms and lounges, office areas, and restroom facilities is also a key responsibility. Monthly cleaning duties, including completing daily inventory of transport carts and initiating searches for those not available, must be performed regularly.

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills and be able to work effectively in a fast-paced environment. A high school diploma or equivalent, along with relevant experience and training, is required. Certification in CPR and completion of Act 34, Act 33, and Act 73 clearances are also necessary.
