What You’ll Do
The Division Support Tech is a hands-on support position within the NICU and is not an Environmental Services (EVS) position. While cleaning and disinfecting medical equipment is an important part of the job, this role is focused on unit support, equipment readiness, organization, and helping prepare the NICU for patient care. Though this is not a clinical position, you will work closely with the nursing team to make sure equipment, supplies, and patient rooms are organized and ready when needed.

The DST is a great opportunity for someone looking to build experience in a hospital environment. Previous NICU or clinical experience is not required, and training will be provided on the unit’s equipment and processes.

• This is a physically active position. You will spend most of your shift walking, standing, bending, lifting, pushing, and moving equipment rather than sitting at a desk.
