Experienced Medical Assistants: bring your phlebotomy, vaccine-administration, and patient-care skills to a full-time clinic lead role. Support working adults in a professional corporate health center while helping coordinate patient flow, referrals, supplies, scheduling, and daily clinic readiness.

California Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) are also encouraged to apply. This is one full-time opening with two accepted qualification routes; you do not need both qualifications. Medical Assistants are considered at $72,000–$80,000 and LVNs at $80,000–$90,000. Clinical duties will be assigned within the selected candidate's training, competency, and applicable scope.

Why This Role

  • A consistent full-time weekday schedule, rather than occasional PRN shifts.
  • A professional outpatient setting serving employees within a corporate workplace.
  • Hands-on patient care combined with meaningful responsibility for daily clinic operations.
  • Opportunity to improve workflows and the patient experience.
  • Convenient downtown access via BART, Muni, Transbay buses, ferry service, and Caltrain connections.

What You Will Do

  • Welcome and room patients, obtain vital signs, and document intake information.
  • Perform venipuncture, specimen collection and handling, point-of-care testing, and EKGs within documented competency.
  • Administer vaccines under appropriate orders, authorization, and required supervision.
  • Prepare examination rooms and assist licensed clinicians with permitted patient-care activities.
  • Coordinate patient flow, appointments, referrals, follow-up records, and routine staffing logistics.
  • Support PRN staff and new-hire onboarding with clinic workflows and site information.
  • Track supplies, inventory, equipment, expiration dates, and vendor needs.
  • Maintain accurate EHR documentation, follow-up lists, and operational records.
  • Support team meetings and communicate staffing, supply, workflow, and patient-safety concerns promptly.
  • Follow privacy, infection-control, and safety procedures and escalate matters outside your assigned scope.

Choose Your Qualification Route

Medical Assistant route — $72,000–$80,000: At least three years of Medical Assistant or comparable outpatient clinical experience; completion of Medical Assistant education or training meeting applicable California requirements; and demonstrated competency for assigned duties. CMA, RMA, CCMA, NCMA, or another recognized Medical Assistant certification is welcomed. Previous lead, coordinator, site-operations, or similar experience is required.

LVN route — $80,000–$90,000: Active, unrestricted California Licensed Vocational Nurse license and at least three years of LVN clinical experience. Experience administering vaccines and medications within LVN scope is required. Previous clinical coordination, lead, operations, or similar clinic-support experience is strongly preferred.

Required for Either Route

  • Strong, current hands-on phlebotomy experience and the ability to perform blood draws confidently without retraining, under the supervision applicable to your role.
  • Current BLS/CPR certification.
  • Vaccine-administration experience and documentation of the training and competency required for assigned duties.
  • Experience with patient intake, vital signs, specimen handling, EKGs, point-of-care testing, and routine clinical support.
  • Experience with referrals, scheduling, patient follow-up, and front-office workflows.
  • Strong organization, communication, patient-service, and problem-solving skills.
  • Comfort with EHR systems and standard office technology.
  • Ability to reliably commute to San Francisco, CA 94105 for the full scheduled shift.

Clinical Scope and Supervision

Medical Assistants perform permitted technical-support services within their documented training and competency. Injections and vaccine administration require appropriate written authorization and the legally required onsite supervision. Medical Assistants do not independently assess, diagnose, or make treatment decisions. LVNs work within their California license, applicable orders, and required clinical direction. The licensed clinical team retains responsibility for clinical decisions and supervision.

How to Apply

Apply through this posting with your resume and complete the application questions. Please make your clinical qualification, recent blood-draw experience, vaccine experience, and clinic-coordination background clear in your resume.
