Justification
The Mass General Brigham Medical Group is a system\-led operating entity formed by Mass General Brigham to deliver high\-quality, low\-cost, innovative community\-based ambulatory care. This work stems from Mass General Brigham’s unified system strategy to bring healthcare closer to patients while lowering total healthcare costs. The Medical Group provides a wide range of offerings, including primary care, specialty care, behavioral and mental health, and urgent care, both digitally as well as at physical locations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. The group also offers outpatient surgery and endoscopy, imaging, cardiac testing, and infusion. We share the commitment to delivering a coordinated and comprehensive experience across all locations, ensuring the appropriate level of care is available to every patient across our care delivery sites.
Urgent care, sometimes known as walk\-in care, fast care, or express care, is a convenient option for patients who require timely medical care, but the situation is not an emergency. We treat adults and children ages 3 and older and provide care for a wide range of illnesses and injuries, including allergies, asthma, coughs, bronchitis, colds, flu, COVID\-19, fever, headache, broken bones, sprains and strains, eye and ear infections, rashes, cuts, sexually transmitted infections, stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Because patients typically come to us when they aren't feeling their best, it is incredibly important to us that our staff members strive to provide the compassion and emotional support our patients need.
We are seeking a full\-time 37\.5\-hour Front Desk Assistant to work 3, 12\.5\-hour shifts (8:30am to 9:00pm) per week, including every other weekend, onsite at our Urgent Care center located at 480 Lynnfield Street, 1A Lynn, MA 01904\. Since Urgent Care is a 7\-day\-per\-week operation that delivers care during the day, evening, weekends, and holidays, the schedule for this role will require 2 on\-call shifts per 4\-week scheduling period, as well as overtime, weekend, and holiday coverage as needed.
We do our best to keep all employees at their assigned centers; however, for on\-call shifts, employees must be able to commute to any of our locations, including Boston Common, Brookline, Lynn, Natick, Newton, Westwood, and Woburn. You may also be asked to report to any of these centers during orientation (for training/precepting purposes) or during times of staffing shortages or other extenuating circumstances (for cross\-coverage purposes).
Are you ready to help us deliver top\-notch care and exceed patients’ expectations of what a visit to the doctor is like? Job Summary
