Title: Medical Technician - Corrections
Location: Stanly County Detention Center/Albemarle NC
Some of the most skilled, most dedicated CMA/Med techs we know found their calling in a place most people overlook: inside the walls of a county detention center. The work is demanding. The patients are complicated. And the difference a compassionate, competent nurse makes here is felt in ways that are hard to put into words.
At IMS Correctional Healthcare, we've built our reputation on a simple belief — that every patient deserves to be treated with professionalism, dignity, and genuine care. We partner with county facilities across North Carolina, and we hold ourselves to a higher standard than the contract requires. If you're a CMA/Med Tech who takes that same approach to your work, you'll fit right in here.
We're hiring a full-time Baylor CMA/Med Tech to join our team at Stanly County Detention Center in Kinston — a community-rooted facility, where your presence will be felt every single shift.
What You’ll Do
Working under the supervision of a physician and senior RN, you’ll be a steady, trusted presence for patients who often have limited access to healthcare outside these walls. As a CMA/Medical Technician, your role centers on safe medication administration, supportive clinical tasks, and maintaining a therapeutic environment within the facility.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Preparing and administering prescribed medications under RN supervision
- Reconciling daily pharmacy deliveries and maintaining organized, compliant medication storage
- Documenting all medication administration accurately on the MAR
- Notifying the pharmacy of inmate transfers or releases to ensure proper medication continuity
- Supporting chronic care, sick call, and urgent care workflows by gathering vitals, assisting with patient flow, and reporting concerns to the RN
- Following established emergency response protocols and assisting the RN/physician during on‑site treatment
- Maintaining cleanliness standards and adhering to all facility security procedures
- Providing clear, professional communication with correctional staff regarding medical requirements and restrictions
- Upholding patient confidentiality, privacy laws, and the highest standards of professional conduct at all times
- Demonstrating compassion, professionalism, and ethical care in every interaction — with patients, correctional staff, and your IMS colleagues
Every task you perform contributes to safer operations, better patient outcomes, and a healthcare environment where dignity and professionalism remain at the center of care.
Education & Certifications:
- High school graduate or equivalent
- Completion of an accredited Certified Medication Aide Course or training course for nursing assistants
Experience:
- Prior emergency or correctional/detention facility experience preferred but not required
Compensation:
- $18 - $19/hour
