Job description

Site: Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.

Job Summary

Bring your clinical skills to a specialty care team where your work directly supports patients with ear, nose, throat, head, and neck conditions. MGB ENT is seeking a full-time Medical Assistant to join our collaborative practice in Somersworth, NH. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys a busy clinical environment, values teamwork, and wants to work at the top of their certification while helping deliver thoughtful, high-quality care.

About MGB ENT

Located at 361 High Street in Somersworth, New Hampshire, our practice provides state-of-the-art medical and surgical care for patients with disorders of the ears, nose, and throat. We care for patients across a wide range of conditions, including nasal and sinus disease, sleep disorders, sleep apnea and snoring, allergies, asthma, hearing loss, chronic ear infections, and ENT cancer.

Schedule and Location

This is a full-time, 40-hour onsite position, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., supporting our MGB ENT practice at 361 High Street, Somersworth, NH 03878.

Why This Role Stands Out

As a Medical Assistant on this team, you will play an important role in keeping patient visits running smoothly while partnering closely with providers, nurses, and administrative colleagues. You’ll have the opportunity to use a broad range of clinical skills, including rooming patients, obtaining vital signs, documenting patient information, supporting patient education, assisting with specimens, and contributing to disinfection and sterile processing workflows. Candidates who enjoy variety, collaboration, and hands‑on patient care will find this role especially rewarding. We do our best to keep employees in their assigned practice and location; however, you may also be asked to float to other departments in the MGB ENT system when appropriate and needed during staffing shortages or other extenuating circumstances to support patient care and maintain adequate coverage.

What You’ll Do

• Room patients, prepare exam rooms, and support patient flow throughout the day.
• Obtain and document medical histories, vital signs, weight, height, and other patient information in the medical record.
• Prepare equipment and supplies for providers and assist with clinical visit needs.
• Explain treatment procedures, medications, diets, and provider instructions to patients using clear and compassionate communication.
• Collect, log, and prepare blood, tissue, or other laboratory specimens for testing; perform phlebotomy when competency is demonstrated.
• Support general office needs, including phone coverage, forms, coordination with other departments, and patient advocacy.
• Maintain inventory, support immunization workflows as applicable, and contribute to departmental quality initiatives such as hand hygiene and two patient identifiers.
• Assist with onboarding and day‑to‑day support for junior Medical Assistants when needed.

Qualifications

• High School Diploma or equivalent required.
• Associate’s degree in Medical Assisting preferred.
• Direct Medical Assistant experience or medical field experience of 1–2 years required.
• Basic Life Support certification preferred.
• National Certified Medical Assistant credential preferred.
• Ability to take vital signs, obtain manual blood pressure, and collect blood samples or other specimens.
• Knowledge of medical terminology, procedures, and protocols.
• Comfort using electronic health record systems and medical office software.
• Strong interpersonal communication, accuracy, time management, and problem‑solving skills.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a dependable, patient-focused Medical Assistant who communicates well, stays organized in a fast‑paced setting, and enjoys contributing to a team-centered care environment. Strong attention to detail, professionalism, and the ability to manage competing priorities are important for success in this role.
