Position Summary

New hires begin as Hyperbaric Medical Assistant Trainees (HMA-T) and advance to the full Hyperbaric Medical Assistant (HMA) role by completing a structured, company-funded certification pathway that includes earning both the Certified Hyperbaric Specialist (CHS) and Certified Hyperbaric & Wound Specialist (CHWS) credentials over approximately two years. Working under the supervision of licensed medical providers, HMAs rotate between the wound care clinic and hyperbaric chamber, assisting with wound procedures, providing direct patient care, and supporting hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments while following strict clinical and safety protocols. This position reports administratively to the Facility Leader, clinically to the RN Clinical Lead, and operationally to the Lead Chamber Tech/Safety Director. EMT-credentialed candidates are strongly preferred and have the opportunity to pursue an advanced leadership track leading to Certified Hyperbaric Technologist (CHT), Lead Chamber Tech, and Safety Director roles.

Responsibilities

• Prepare patients and treatment rooms; assist providers during wound procedures (as a Medical Assistant under physician/NP/PA delegation)
• Perform delegated clinical tasks: dressing changes, wound cleansing and preparation, aseptic procedures, measurement and photo documentation

• Support the RN Clinical Lead in day-to-day wound-floor operations
• Tend patients through hyperbaric treatments under the oversight of the Lead Chamber Tech / Safety Director (after 40-hour course completion)

• BLS current at hire, or earned within the first week of employment; no patient-facing or chamber duty without it
• Comfortable in a clinical environment with direct, sustained patient contact
• Reliable, coachable, and able to follow written protocol exactly — chamber work is a zero-shortcut discipline

• Meet and maintain the facility's fitness‑for‑pressure‑exposure standard for inside attendants (consistent with UHMS guidance)
• All pre‑employment requirements per the UrgentFlex HR Baseline (background, drug screening under the chamber-facing zero‑tolerance tier, physical capability, right‑to‑work)

Preferred Qualifications

• EMT certification preferred and prioritized for hire
• Interest in pursuing the leadership and safety track toward CHT (Certified Hyperbaric Technologist), Lead Chamber Tech, and Safety Director
