A little more about our center:

West Chicago Terrace is an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) with 120 beds, proudly serving the behavioral/psych population.  We are in a quiet residential area, across the street from an elementary school and easy to commute to.  A few key highlights:

• 5-Star Quality measure – this means we provide excellent clinical care!
• The average age of our patients is 45-55 and the most common diagnoses are schizophrenia, bi-polar and major depressive disorders.
• We have special programs and events for our residents and they are eager to interact with you.
• Our team gets excited about flexible scheduling, casual Fridays, and fun events like ‘ugly sweater days’.  Come join us.

What you will do in this role:   As a Medical Receptionist (or “Concierge”) on the evening Shift, you will be the first line of security at our employee entrance/door.  The functions are similar to that of a “Welcome” (reception) desk:  You will be checking in employees reporting for work, doing security rounds in the center, performing clerical tasks and managing the phone lines for a busy Medical Facility.   This job is part Security Officer and part Customer Service.

Sample of daily duties:

•  Greet and direct visitors while managing the incoming phone lines
• Create correspondence, data entry, printing, scanning, manage office supplies, and receive mail/deliveries
•   Monitor the employee door and ambulance bay entrance
• Ensure our residents are safe and non-disruptive

What’s in it for you: 

• Team-oriented and collaborative culture
• Employee recognition program
• Annual merit increase opportunities
• Robust benefits package, including a retirement savings plan
• Refer-a-Friend programs – Our #3 source of new employees is referrals from our existing team members.  Great employees refer other great workers.  Come join us.

From our new employee survey:

• 82% surveyed said “People here are willing to give a little extra to get the job done right.”
• 89% surveyed said “When I look at what we accomplished, I feel a sense of pride.”

What we need from you:

•  Prior Experience in a Healthcare or Medical setting is preferable.   
• Strong Written and verbal English communication skills are required
•  High school diploma or GED
• Ability to successfully pass a pre-employment physical and criminal history background check
