Job Title: Warehouse Worker – Hospital Materials Department

Job Description

This role supports the hospital’s materials and supply chain operations by receiving, scanning, stocking, and delivering medical and non-medical supplies throughout the facility. You will work in the hospital’s stockroom and on various floors, using handheld scanners and carts to fulfill orders accurately and efficiently. This is a contract opportunity of approximately two months to cover a leave of absence, with strong potential to extend longer and the possibility of being hired directly.

Responsibilities

• Receive incoming freight and supplies in the hospital stockroom in a timely and accurate manner.
• Scan incoming inventory into the enterprise resource planning (ERP) or inventory tracking system using handheld scanners.
• Label and organize products correctly to ensure accurate identification and traceability.
• Stock hospital supplies in designated locations within the stockroom, maintaining proper rotation and organization.
• Review orders received from hospital wings, floors, and divisions through the inventory or ERP system.
• Pick orders accurately using handheld devices and carts, ensuring the correct items and quantities are selected.
• Place picked items into totes and prepare them for delivery to the appropriate hospital areas.
• Deliver totes and supplies to the corresponding areas within the hospital, following established routes and procedures.
• Maintain accurate inventory levels by following stocking, picking, and tracking procedures.
• Handle physical tasks such as lifting, moving, and loading supplies as required by the types of items received.
• Follow hospital protocols for working in a sterile or clinical environment, including appropriate handling of materials.
• Collaborate and communicate professionally with stockroom staff, nurses, doctors, and other hospital personnel.
• Participate in on-the-job training and shadowing to learn hospital materials procedures and best practices.
• Adhere to all safety, cleanliness, and compliance standards while working in the hospital and stockroom.

Essential Skills

• Experience with basic warehouse or stocking duties such as receiving, picking, packing, and loading.
• Ability to use handheld scanners for inventory tracking and order picking.
• Basic computer skills to navigate inventory or ERP systems.
• Strong attention to detail to ensure accurate scanning, labeling, and order fulfillment.
• Ability to perform physical tasks, including standing, walking, lifting, and moving carts and totes throughout the shift.
• Reliable time management skills to work scheduled shifts and complete tasks within required timeframes.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with frequent movement between stockroom and hospital floors.
• Effective communication skills to interact with hospital staff and team members in a professional manner.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Entry-level stocking or warehousing experience is suitable; formal warehouse experience is helpful but not strictly required.
• Previous experience working in a hospital or healthcare environment is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with sterile or clinical environments and related protocols is highly beneficial.
• Experience working in a non-union warehouse or materials handling environment is considered an advantage.
• Ability to learn and follow hospital-specific materials management procedures quickly.
• Willingness to work a contract assignment of approximately two months, with openness to potential extension.
