Job Description
Embark on a transformative journey as a Surgical Tech in Newport, Vermont, beginning January 19, 2026, for a multi‑week assignment that guarantees 40 hours each week. This is more than a role—it’s a chance to become an indispensable member of the OR team, shaping patient outcomes through precise instrument handling, sterile technique, and seamless support for surgeons and nurses. You’ll prepare the sterile field, assist with draping and positioning, manage instrument trays and implants, and facilitate efficient turnover between cases, all while upholding the highest safety and infection control standards. In a setting that values precision and teamwork, your expertise will directly influence the precision of every procedure, the flow of the surgical schedule, and the confidence of the patients we serve. This opportunity invites you to leverage established skill while expanding your repertoire in a dynamic travel environment.
Vermont’s natural beauty and seasonal charm set the backdrop for your professional journey. Newport sits on the shores of Lake Memphremagog, where tranquil waters mirror rugged hills and changing skies. The region offers a friendly, tight-knit community vibe, outdoor recreation just outside your door, and access to four distinct seasons that transform landscapes into living canvases—from summer boating and autumn foliage drives to winter trails and springtime discoveries. Whether you’re exploring a nearby mountain path, tasting local farm-to-table cuisine, or simply enjoying sunset views over the lake, Vermont’s serenity complements the intensity of the OR suite with balance and inspiration. The location also features convenient access to regional services, cultural events, and a pace that supports focus and professional growth, all while being part of a broader nationwide travel program that can introduce you to new settings and patient populations.
As part of our nationwide travel network, you’ll enjoy benefits designed to support both your career and your life on the road. The role combines hands-on technical duty with opportunities to broaden your clinical perspective through exposure to diverse surgical teams and case mixes across facilities. You’ll benefit from competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,493 to $1,572, with guaranteed 40 hours per week, and the potential for additional extension opportunities that provide continuity and predictability. In addition to competitive compensation, our program offers a bonus opportunity, housing assistance or housing stipends, and the flexibility to extend assignments based on organizational needs and your professional goals. You’ll work with a team that believes in recognizing achievement and rewarding sustained excellence. Comprehensive support is central to your travel experience: 24/7 assistance for travel logistics, credentialing, and any on-the-ground needs so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care.
Our company values your growth as much as your care. We’re committed to empowering surgical techs to advance their careers within a supportive, mentorship-driven environment. You’ll have access to orientation, ongoing clinical education, and opportunities to expand into leadership roles such as lead tech or OR team liaison as you gain experience. We emphasize collaboration, respect, and open communication, ensuring you’re heard, supported, and respected in every assignment. Whether you’re seeking to strengthen your core surgical skills, learn new techniques in specialized procedures, or map out a long‑term pathway in perioperative care, you’ll find a culture that prioritizes your development and well-being.
If you’re ready to join a company that values your contribution and treats your professional journey as a partnership, this is your moment. Apply now to begin a rewarding sequence of experiences that blends expert practice, Vermont’s unmatched scenery, and the chance to grow within a nationwide network that supports your ambitions. Your next chapter as a Surgical Tech awaits—where care meets opportunity, and your skills leave a lasting impact on patients and teams alike.
