Our team is dedicated to finding the best fit for both the company and the employee.

We are privileged to present an exciting opportunity with a Health Care Provider operating multiple hospitals across several states in the US. Collectively, the medical groups and affiliate practices are the third largest group in the country with over 11,000 providers, 900 clinics and 30,000 caregivers. The organization values professionals who bring clinical expertise, initiative, compassion, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Athletic Trainer to join our client's team. This is an opportunity for an experienced Athletic Trainer to become an integral part of a respected healthcare organization committed to patient-focused, whole-person care. Rather than functioning solely as event coverage, this position provides the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with athletes and athletic programs while serving as an extension of the organization's broader sports medicine and rehabilitation services.

For an Athletic Trainer seeking a long-term opportunity within a healthcare environment not simply another athletic coverage assignment, this position offers meaningful clinical work, professional collaboration, and the opportunity to make a measurable difference in the health, safety, and performance of the athletes you serve.
