Looking to Make a Difference in Healthcare

Have you built a career caring for others but are looking for a different kind of healthcare role? As a Clinical Recovery Technician, you'll make a life-changing impact without the hospital demands of managing multiple patients, navigating call lights, or balancing competing priorities. Instead, you'll focus on one meaningful case at a time, helping provide the gift of sight through cornea donation.

This unique overnight role offers independence, hands-on procedural work, and the opportunity to use your healthcare experience in a mission-driven setting where every case matters.

Why Healthcare Professionals Choose This Role

• Continue serving a healthcare mission in a non-patient-facing environment.
• Focus on one case at a time rather than caring for multiple patients simultaneously.
• Utilize your clinical knowledge, critical thinking, and procedural skills in a unique specialty field.
• Work independently while remaining supported by an experienced team.
• Experience the reward of helping restore sight through transplantation.
• Receive comprehensive training. No prior eye bank or donation experience is required.

What You'll Do

• Respond to cases overnight, traveling to hospitals, morgues, and funeral homes within the service area.
• Review donor medical histories and perform donor assessments in accordance with EBAA and FDA standards.
• Perform surgical recovery of corneal tissue for transplantation and medical research.
• Collaborate with coordinators, healthcare partners, and recovery team members throughout the donation process.
• Support training and mentoring efforts as you gain experience in the role.

What Makes This Role Different

• A break from direct patient care.
• Fewer interruptions and competing priorities.
• More autonomy in their work.
• A meaningful mission without the pressures of traditional clinical environments.
• The opportunity to continue helping others using their healthcare knowledge and skills.

The Ideal Candidate

• CNA, CMA, Medical Assistant, Phlebotomist, EMT, Paramedic, Surgical Technologist, Patient Care Technician, LPN, or other healthcare professional seeking a different path or additional experience in a unique field.
• Healthcare worker looking to step away from bedside care while remaining connected to a meaningful mission.
• Independent, self-motivated professional who is comfortable working overnight and managing responsibilities autonomously.
• Compassionate individual who can approach sensitive situations with professionalism and respect.
• Strong communicator who remains calm and focused in time-sensitive situations.

No eye bank experience is required. We will teach you everything you need to be successful. What matters most is coachability, professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence.

How You'll Be Challenged

• Overnight travel and on-call response are essential parts of the role.
• Cases can be emotionally sensitive, requiring professionalism and resilience.
• Donation services operate 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
• Some shifts may extend beyond the scheduled end time to ensure donors and recipients are served.

If you're looking for a way to continue making a meaningful impact in healthcare, we'd love to talk with you.

Join a team dedicated to restoring sight and honoring the gift of donation, one case at a time.
