Job Description
Embark on a high-impact journey as a Surgical Tech with our travel program, where precision, teamwork, and compassion come together in operating rooms that save lives every day. In Kailua, Hawaii, you’ll support expert surgical teams delivering exceptional patient care while you expand your skills in a dynamic, fast-paced setting. This role puts you at the heart of perioperative care, helping to ensure sterile environments, meticulously prepared instrument sets, and smooth collaboration with surgeons, nurses, and support staff. It’s a chance to refine your technique, broaden your clinical exposure, and contribute to outcomes that families will remember for years. Separately, Kailua’s beauty speaks for itself: white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, palm-lined shores, and a gentle tropical breeze that invites you to unwind after demanding shifts. The island’s legacy of warmth and community creates a work experience that feels both professionally rewarding and personally uplifting.
Location Benefits: Working in Kailua places you in a setting known for outstanding healthcare facilities that value teamwork, safety, and patient-centered outcomes. You’ll enjoy the unique advantages of serving in a premier tropical locale while tapping into the resources of renowned medical teams that emphasize best practices, continuing education, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The opportunity to travel with our program also means exposure to varied case mixes and different hospital cultures across the U.S., enriching your clinical perspective and expanding your professional network. Beyond the OR, Kailua and its neighboring Oahu communities offer accessible outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, and a balanced lifestyle that supports resilience, focus, and long-term career satisfaction. Whether you’re refining your surgical tech skills in Hawaii or embracing a broader set of experiences stateside, you’ll benefit from a structured travel framework designed to enhance your versatility and confidence.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Surgical Tech in this program, your core responsibilities include preparing sterile fields and instrument trays, ensuring correct instrument counts before, during, and after procedures, passing instruments with precision, assisting the surgical team as needed, maintaining strict sterile technique, and supporting patient safety from pre-op through post-op handoffs. You’ll have opportunities for professional growth through exposure to multiple surgical specialties, enabling you to diversify your skill set and pursue leadership paths within the perioperative arena. The compensation for this assignment is competitive, with weekly pay ranging from $1,332 to $1,409, reflecting the value of your expertise and the responsibilities you’ll shoulder. We offer housing assistance to ease relocation logistics and to help you settle into your temporary home quickly and comfortably. Additionally, there are extension opportunities, allowing you to deepen your experience with trusted facilities if you wish to continue after the initial term. Expect comprehensive support from a dedicated team, including 24/7 assistance while you travel with the company, credentialing support, orientation resources, and ongoing guidance as you navigate different OR environments. While this program emphasizes flexibility, it also reinforces your stability by providing clear pathways for skills development, performance feedback, and recognition for your contributions to patient outcomes.
Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering perioperative staff to grow, learn, and advance. We believe in creating a supportive, mentor-driven culture where experienced techs guide newer teammates, credentials are cultivated, and performance is acknowledged. Your career trajectory is important to us, and we invest in continuing education, cross-training opportunities, and a respectful, inclusive work environment that honors your dedication to patient care. You’ll join a team that values reliability, integrity, and collaboration; a place where your voice matters and your professional development is prioritized as part of a broader mission to elevate surgical care across communities.
