If so, the UVM Medical Center seeks qualified individuals to join the Security team on a per diem basis. This position has no committed schedule/hours and is not benefit eligible. This position calls for someone who has some experience in Security, preferably in a healthcare setting, and has flexibility to fulfill hours, as needed, by the team. The per diem Security Officer covers both planned absences (staff vacation, holiday) and unanticipated absences.
